Agafay Desert Day Trip from Marrakech:

When you take the tour of the Agafay desert, which is just 30 kilometers southwest of Marrakech and is situated between the Lalla Takerkoust lake in the east, the high mountains of the High Atlas, and the road to the western Guemassa mine, you will learn about the incredible Sahara and explore the desert's pristine nature and ruins. If you don't have time to travel to the Sahara desert while visiting Morocco, this region makes for a wonderful day trip from Marrakech.

With this day excursion to Lake Takerkoust and the Agafay desert, you can get away from the bustle of the city and enjoy the peace and quiet of the desert and the countryside. We will pick you up from your lodging and take you west of Marrakech. The road is shaded by thick vegetation, olive and orange groves, and occasionally passes through the village of Ait Imour. From there, we will turn off the road and drive through a completely different landscape of stone desert, pale, brown plateaus, Bedouin people, oasis, and then tall hills with expansive views of the High Atlas.
