Your Agafay desert dinner and camel ride begins in the late afternoon when you’ll be picked up from your Marrakech accommodation. A comfortable drive takes you to the Agafay Desert, where the peaceful environment immediately contrasts with the city’s lively energy. Upon arrival, you’ll meet your friendly guides, who will introduce you to the camels. After a brief safety introduction, your journey begins.

The sunset camel ride lasts around an hour, taking you across the expansive desert landscape. As the sun sets, the sky turns into a canvas of warm oranges and pinks, casting a soft glow over the horizon. This is your moment to truly soak in the quiet beauty of the desert, with only the sounds of your camel’s footsteps and the gentle breeze to accompany you. Make sure to have your camera ready, as this is one of the best photo opportunities of the day.

Once the camel ride ends, you’ll head to a cozy desert camp where your dinner in Agafay awaits. The setting is intimate, with lanterns casting a warm light over low tables covered in traditional Moroccan patterns. You’ll be treated to a range of classic Moroccan dishes, all made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The menu typically includes a variety of tagines, couscous dishes, and salads, followed by sweet pastries or fruits for dessert. As you dine, you may even be treated to traditional Moroccan music or storytelling, further immersing you in the cultural experience.

After dinner, take a moment to sit back and stargaze. The Agafay Desert’s remote location means you’ll enjoy a clear view of the night sky, unobstructed by city lights. After soaking in the peacefulness of the desert night, you’ll be driven back to your accommodation in Marrakech with memories of a magical evening.
