You don't need to travel all the way to the Sahara to feel the magic of the desert. Just 45 minutes from Marrakech lies the Agafay Desert, a dramatic landscape of rolling stone dunes that looks like the moon. This evening experience is the perfect micro-adventure. We pick you up in the late afternoon and drive south as the light softens. At the desert base, you'll be greeted by your camel team. Dress the part in a blue indigo nomad robe and headscarf (great for photos and sun protection) and mount your gentle camel. The 1-hour ride takes you to a ridge line exactly as the sun sets, painting the Atlas Mountains in violet and gold. Back at the camp, twilight turns to a star-filled night. Relax around a campfire with mint tea before sitting down in a Khaima (tent) or under the open sky for dinner. Feast on Harira soup, tagine, and couscous while Gnawa musicians play the hypnotic rhythm of the desert. A fire show caps off the night before we whisk you back to the city.
