Visit Maroc Travel

Overview

Agafay, often called the “stone desert” of Morocco, is a striking lunar-like landscape located just a short drive from Marrakech. Unlike the rolling sand dunes of the Sahara, Agafay’s charm lies in its rocky expanses, dramatic hills, and golden plateaus that shimmer under the Moroccan sun. This serene desert offers an oasis of calm, where wide horizons and vast open skies create a sense of freedom and tranquility. Despite its rugged appearance, Agafay is full of life and authentic experiences. Travelers can enjoy camel rides, quad biking, buggy adventures, or peaceful sunset moments overlooking the desert’s warm tones. Luxury camps and traditional tents dot the landscape, offering immersive stays with Berber hospitality, starlit dinners, and the soothing sounds of nature. As the sun sets, Agafay transforms into a magical scene — lanterns glow, the sky fills with stars, and the cool desert breeze invites moments of reflection. Whether seeking adventure or relaxation, Agafay delivers a unique escape that feels worlds away from the city while remaining incredibly accessible.
