Highlights

A day from Marrakech, the Moroccan desert of Agafay is an easy alternative to visiting the Sahara desert further south. With this private tour, avoid the hassle of a self-guided trip and combine the Agafay Desert with a trip to the Atlas Mountains. Explore the Berber villages, drink a tea at home, go to an argan oil cooperative. Cross the Kik plateau, and finish with a 30-minute camel ride in the Agafay before finishing with a meal in a Berber tent. I have more than 42 years of experience as a guide, I can help you in all your excursion in Morroco. I live in the Atlas, near Marrakech city.

About Marrakech

At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, red-walled Marrakech is famed for its maze-like medina, lively main square and tranquil riads and gardens.

Jemaa el-Fnaa, the great square at the centre of the medina, changes character through the day, from juice sellers and snake charmers in the morning to smoke-wreathed food stalls and musicians after dark. The minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque rises nearby as the city's landmark, and the souks spread north in a warren of lanes selling leather, lanterns, carpets and spices.

Top-ranked sights in Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Tizi-n'Tichka Pass, Jemaa el-Fna (Djemaa el-Fna).
