The experience

The tour starts with pickup from your hotel or riad in Marrakech in an air-conditioned vehicle. The drive takes you toward the rocky Agafay Desert, where you'll stop to take in panoramic views of the landscape and the Atlas Mountains in the distance before the light fades. The peaceful atmosphere and open terrain give you time to settle into the rhythm of the desert before the main event.

You'll ride a camel through the Agafay Desert as the sun drops toward the horizon, with moments built in to photograph the light and the landscape. After the ride, you move to a desert camp where a traditional Moroccan dinner is served alongside mint tea and bottled water. Live music and entertainment run through the evening, creating the kind of unhurried atmosphere that makes the desert feel separate from the city you left behind. Once the show ends, your driver takes you back to Marrakech and drops you at the same location where you started.

The tour accommodates service animals and has specialized infant seats available if you're traveling with young children. Bottled water is provided throughout, and the air-conditioned transport means you're not exposed to heat during the drive itself.
