More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive from Marrakech as the road drops and the city noise thins—the Agafay’s stony plain opens ahead, sun lowering the plateaus into long, cool shadows. Guides fit you with a traditional djellaba for photos, and camels clip-clop across the hard-packed earth while the sky turns copper. Later, you trade the steady sway of a camel for the throttle of a quad bike, ripping across rutted tracks toward a wide western horizon where the sunset stages its quiet show.
