Agafay Desert Day Trip
One-Day trip from Marrakech to Agafay Desert
Overview: full-day trip to the Agafay Desert and the Atlas Mountains from Marrakech
Agafay Desert Day trip from Marrakech- Agafay Desert is absolutely one of the best-hidden gems in the Marrakech area. Even more than a hidden gem, it is one of the places where you could rest your soul and ears from the Marrakech nosios. The rocky surroundings are beautiful here, and you’ll never get bored.
One of the advantages of the Agafay Desert is visitors can reach this spot on a single-day trip from Marrakech. This last is only a one-hour drive from the Medina of Marrakech, Unlike the other Deserts ( Merzouga and Zagora).
Merzouga and Zagora Desert offer much more than Agafy, but what if you haven’t enough time to go on a 3-day journey to Merzouga? Thanks to Agafay and its proximity to Marrakech. After all, if you have the time, we recommend visiting the Golden Dunes Desert of Merzouga rather than Agafay.
When deciding on a Sahara Desert trip from Marrakech, you must consider how much time you want to spend in a vehicle. You may waste most of your time inside the car, with little time to enjoy the sights. This full Agafay Desert day trip and the Atlas Mountains from Marrakech will take you on a tour of the Berber Villages of the Atlas Mountains and then back to Marrakech via our beautiful spot (Only a 3-hour drive & both ways).
The best thing about this full-day trip from Marrakech is that our itinerary included the Atlas Mountains and the Berber Villages, not just the Desert of Agafay. Instead of taking a day trip to the Agafy Desert and another one to the Atlas Mountains, this itinerary does both in a single day without any feeling of rash and saves you time and money.
In case our itinerary does not meet your requirements, contact us. We’re flexible, and our itinerary can modified to meet your needs.
Note, if you want to enjoy your Desert trip experience the best way, we propose staying overnight to take in the incredible nightfall. The charming nightfall atmosphere is something completely different than the daytime.

Questions you may have about this one-day itinerary from Marrakech to Agafay Desert and the Big Atlas:
What should I pack for the Agafay Desert and Atlas Mountains trip?
Bring sunscreens, water, comfortable shoes, and an extra Jaket for the cold winter nights. A scarf or hat is also a good idea to protect against the hot sun and the wind. If you plan to go trekking in the Atlas Mountains, make sure you pack sturdy shoes.
When is the best time to go for this Agafay Desert day trip?
It is always a good idea to take this one-day trip from Marrakech to Agafay and the Atla Mountains (Round-year). During June & February, it gets more stunning because of the snow in the Atlas Mountains, which provides extra charms.
Is Agafy Desert worth a day trip from Marrakech?
Yes, Agafy Desert is worth taking a day trip from Marrakech. The Agafay Desert has a fabulous ambiance that we recommend everyone experience at least once. We agree that Agafay does not warrant a whole day due to the limited activities available, but with the Atlas Mountains, it deserves a full-day trip.
Is this a private or shared Agafay Desert day trip?
Our one-day trip from Marrakech to Agafay and the Atlas Mountains is a private tour. Only you and your party will share the car and the activities of this day trip. If you aim to share the itinerary with someone else, please check our shared tours; there may be some available excursions to Agafay from Marrakech with similar dates to yours.
Does Agafay offer a similar experience to Merzouga?
The differences between the Merzouga and Agafay Desert are huge. The golden dunes of Merzouga can reach 200 meters high, while the Agafay Desert landscape does not provide any. The Agafy Desert can be a great alternative to Merzouga only when you have no time for the 3 Or 4-day trip south of the Sahara.

My partner and I had a fantastic trip to the Agafay Desert and the Atlas Mountains. Our tour guide, Zaki, was superb, providing so much information and delight to the tour. The delicious lunch was a delightful surprise, as was the camel ride- We loved everything about this Private Agafay Desert day trip. Thank you, Zaki and the Morocco Travel Tour Agency.

This Agafay Desert day trip was the best part of our stay in Marrakech. The trip was marvelous, and our guide, Zaki, was very knowledgeable about the Desert area. We visited the big Atlas Mountains and stopped for lunch with a Berber family in a small Village- this was the best experience ever. After lunch, we went to the Desert with Zaki; the area is magnificent. We rode the camels and tried the quads. We also had dinner here before returning to Marrakech.

The entire experience was fabulous and definitely something to behold. I booked this for our family of 2 Adults and 3 Kids and loved the whole experience. Our guide was a young man named Mohammad, and despite that our hotel was in a difficult location to get, he made sure we were safely picked up and dropped off. We plan to return to Marrakech shortly and will arrange our full trip with this agency.
