Departure from the riad at the end of the afternoon towards the Agafay Desert, located just 30 minutes from Marrakech. On the outskirts of the Red City, the Agafay Desert remains one of the least known destinations on tourist circuits. It is a vast arid region with white dunes stretching over hundreds of hectares. Though they resemble sand dunes, they are actually rolling hills of a whitish color, evoking the distant and inaccessible ergs of the deep Moroccan south.
Along the way, the majestic High Atlas Mountains rise in the distance. You may pass by a mule driver or stumble upon a small oasis where a few families still live in this harsh landscape. As you approach the track, you’ll be struck by the immensity of the desert and its profound silence.
During this unique experience, we offer you an unforgettable dinner show in the heart of the Marrakchi desert—a magical journey through time. Nestled in a small arid valley, campfires are lit and blue-robed men ignite their torches. You’ll enter a traditional nomadic tent, where Moroccan tea is served. In this cozy space, your mind will slowly drift into the romantic imagination of nomadic life.
We welcome you for an evening dinner show under beautifully decorated tents. You’ll enjoy traditional Moroccan dishes in a warm and friendly Berber atmosphere. The dinner in Agafay is simple yet flavorful, served under large tents lit by candlelight, all while being enchanted by the rhythms of Gnawa musicians, belly dancers, and more.
After this unforgettable experience, we will drive you back to your riad.
