The experience
You get picked up from your Marrakech hotel and driven through Berber villages toward the Agafay Desert, a rocky landscape that rises just outside the city. Along the way, the tour stops at a local Argan oil women's cooperative so you can see how the oil is made by hand. The drive takes you close enough to see the Atlas Mountains before you arrive at the desert camp in the late afternoon.
At the camp, you change into traditional Moroccan clothing, then mount a camel for a ride through the desert landscape as the sun drops toward the horizon. The ride lasts about twenty minutes: long enough to move away from the camp and watch the light shift across the rocky terrain. You'll have time to take photos and move around the camp before dinner begins.
As darkness falls, you sit by a campfire and eat a three-course Moroccan dinner out under the stars. A live Berber and Arabic music show fills the evening. Mint tea and bottled water come with the meal. Once the show ends and the night has settled in, your driver takes you back to Marrakech.
