Looking for a magical desert experience without traveling far from Marrakech? Say hello to the Agafay Desert—a rugged, moon-like landscape just 45 minutes from the city, where you can unplug, unwind, and truly enjoy Morocco’s natural beauty. This one-day trip to The White Camel, a luxury desert camp nestled in the heart of Agafay, is the perfect blend of adventure and serenity.
Whether you’re after camel rides, breathtaking views, or just a chill day under the desert sun, this tour checks all the boxes—and then some!
We get it. Sometimes you want the magic of the desert but not the hassle of a long trip. That’s where Agafay comes in. Unlike the Sahara with its golden dunes, Agafay offers a unique, rocky desert vibe that’s equally stunning—and way more accessible.
This trip is a one-day escape packed with memorable experiences:
✔️ Camel rides in desert silence
✔️ Views of snow-capped Atlas Mountains
✔️ Delicious Moroccan meals in a nomadic tent
✔️ Optional quad biking for thrill-seekers
✔️ Free time to soak in peace, nature, and culture
Oh, and did we mention it all happens without leaving Marrakech for more than a day? Yep, it’s that easy.
Get into the spirit of Morocco with a one-hour camel ride across Agafay’s lunar-like landscape. Don the classic blue turban for photos—Instagram will thank you later!
“It was surreal riding a camel through this peaceful, rocky terrain with mountain views all around.”
Hungry after your ride? Time to feast! You’ll enjoy a traditional Moroccan lunch with views of the mountains and desert around you. Options include vegetarian and vegan-friendly tagines, fresh salads, and sweet pastries.
After lunch, relax with a glass of mint tea and Moroccan biscuits while soaking in the silence of the desert. It’s the perfect moment to slow down and enjoy the peaceful energy of Agafay.
Feeling adventurous? Rent a quad bike or buggy for an adrenaline-filled ride through Agafay’s rocky hills. Or, take a hike to explore the area on foot—it’s a landscape that never stops surprising.
Sunset Views: If you choose a later time slot, the sunset over Agafay is not to be missed.
Kik Plateau: Get sweeping views of valleys and Atlas peaks.
Local Encounters: Meet welcoming Berber locals and learn about their simple, beautiful way of life.
If you’re short on time but still crave a real Moroccan desert adventure, this Agafay Desert day trip is your perfect match. No long drives, no hassle—just pure, curated desert magic within reach of Marrakech.

“This trip felt like hanging out with a local friend who knows all the best desert spots.” – Happy Traveler
The road to Agafay is anything but boring. You’ll pass olive groves, orange orchards, and charming Berber villages like Tahanaout, where we’ll stop to visit a traditional argan oil cooperative. See how local women handcraft this precious oil—great for skin, hair, and flavoring tagines!
On the way, we pass the Lalla Takerkoust Reservoir, a peaceful lake backed by snow-covered mountains. It’s a great photo stop and a calm moment before entering the stark, dramatic scenery of the Agafay Desert.
Stepping into The White Camel Camp feels like walking into a dream. Picture crisp white tents, elegant décor, and a tranquil pool all set against a cinematic desert backdrop.
Whether you’re soaking up the sun or lounging with a mint tea in hand, the vibe here is pure desert bliss.
