An Evening of Adventure, Sunset & Moroccan Tradition
Escape the energy of Marrakech and spend an unforgettable evening in the dramatic landscapes of the Agafay Desert.
This full-evening experience brings together three of Morocco’s most memorable desert experiences: the excitement of a guided quad biking adventure, the tranquility of a sunset camel ride, and an atmospheric Moroccan dinner beneath the stars.
Your journey begins with private pickup from your Marrakech hotel or riad before heading toward the stone desert of Agafay, where rugged plateaus, dry valleys and distant Atlas Mountain panoramas create a spectacular setting.
From Desert Adventure to Dinner Under the Stars
Begin your Agafay experience with a 1-hour guided quad biking excursion across rocky trails and open desert landscapes. After the adrenaline of the ride, slow down and experience the desert from a different perspective with a 30-minute camel ride at sunset.
As darkness arrives, continue to a beautifully decorated Berber-style desert camp, where traditional Moroccan hospitality, lanterns and music create the perfect setting for the evening.
Enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner followed by an entertaining cultural performance featuring Gnawa music, Moroccan and Berber-inspired performances, dancing, drumming and fire entertainment.
