The Experience

The tour starts with pickup from your hotel or riad in Marrakech and a private transfer across thirty kilometers to Agafay Desert, which sits just beyond the Atlas Mountains. The landscape opens up as you leave the city—the desert floor spreads wide under what becomes a starry sky by evening. You arrive at the outdoor dining setup, where the meal is already arranged and waiting.

Dinner is a full Moroccan menu: an appetizer, a main course (tajine, couscous or seasonal alternatives), salads, pastries, dessert and mint tea. The chef sources from the garden and adjusts the menu with the seasons, so what you eat depends on when you book. The meal happens outdoors under the open sky, which is the whole point—the setting is the experience. After dinner, the transfer back to Marrakech takes you through the evening and returns you to your hotel or riad.

A live guide in your choice of English, Spanish, French or Arabic is included. Bottled water and Moroccan tea come with the meal. The entire outing—transfer both ways, dinner, tea and guide—takes six hours from pickup to drop-off. Wear sport shoes for the terrain.
