Transfer: Marrakech → Agafay Desert (by 4x4)
Private air-conditioned 4x4 drive from Marrakech toward the Agafay Desert. Scenic transfer of approximately 45 minutes depending on traffic and pickup location.
Tips from local experts:
- Vehicle is air-conditioned; windows may be opened briefly for photos but expect some dust near the desert.
- Keep small valuables and cameras in a secure bag during the transfer.
- If you prefer quieter seating, mention seating preferences to the driver at pickup.
Arrival & Sunset Exploration — Agafay Desert
Arrive in the rocky Agafay Desert area. Time to walk the immediate surroundings, take sunset photos with the Atlas Mountains as a backdrop, and relax before the evening program.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring a light jacket or layers: desert temperatures drop after sunset, even in autumn.
- Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes suitable for uneven, rocky terrain.
- Phone signal can be weak; download any maps or music in advance and bring a power bank for photos.
Traditional Moroccan Dinner, Live Fire Show & Music
Settle into the desert camp for a traditional Moroccan dinner prepared with local ingredients. Soft drinks are included. The evening features a live fire performance and traditional music for a relaxed, atmospheric experience under the stars.
Tips from local experts:
- Inform your operator in advance of any dietary restrictions or allergies so the kitchen can accommodate them.
- Soft drinks are included with the meal; alcoholic beverages and additional drinks are not included unless stated otherwise.
- Carry a small amount of cash for personal expenses and customary tips for performers/staff if you wish to show appreciation.
Return Transfer to Marrakech (by 4x4)
Private return drive to Marrakech with hotel/riad drop-off. Transfer time varies by exact drop-off location; allow up to 60–75 minutes from the desert.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect some residual dust on clothing after the desert visit—bring a light cover-up for the drive back if desired.
- Notify the driver of any changes to your drop-off address or if multiple stop requests are needed.
- If you need a seatbelt extender or have mobility needs, mention them at pickup so the driver can assist.
Hotel drop-off in Marrakech

Tips from local experts:
- Confirm your exact accommodation name and preferred drop-off entrance before the tour starts to avoid delays.
- Check you have all personal items (camera, charger, passport) before leaving the vehicle.
- If you plan an early departure the next day, confirm pickup arrangements with reception when returning.
