More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You pull away from Marrakech as the city’s heat loosens and the road opens to ochre plains; the Agafay Desert arrives without dunes of Sahara but with wide, stony expanses that throw back the late light. Camels tread politely while quads growl, and the sky leans into a long, slow sunset that paints the plains orange and purple.
