More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave the bustle of Marrakech behind as the road narrows and the city’s heat gives way to a dry, stony plain. The Agafay plateau opens like a raw painting: low, serrated sandstone ridges, dusty riverbeds and terraces of scrub that catch the light. Camels stand patient against a descending sun while quad tracks cut across the earthen slopes—this is day-trip Morocco in concentrated form.
