More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
When the Marrakech heat softens and the sky tilts toward gold, the stony plains of the Agafay Desert open like a broad, hushed theater. You’ll step from an air-conditioned minivan into low scrub, don a nomadic robe, and climb a slow-swinging camel as the desert seems to lean in and watch. The ride moves with the steady patience of the animals while the horizon stretches—this is a landscape of rock, wind-polished ridges and distant Atlas silhouettes.
