Just 45 minutes from the heart of Marrakech lies the extraordinary landscape of the Agafay Desert, where rocky hills, sweeping horizons and views towards the Atlas Mountains provide the setting for an immersive desert escape.

Set within this secluded landscape, Les Terrasses d'Agafay invites guests to experience a private desert retreat, combining adventure, considered hospitality and distinctive experiences against one of Morocco's most striking natural backdrops.

Away from the bustle of the city, guests can spend their days exploring the desert in different ways, from private camel rides and horseback adventures to guided quad excursions and off-road driving experiences. For something a little more indulgent, a professional flying dress photoshoot offers the opportunity to capture a memorable moment against the dramatic desert backdrop, followed by a leisurely picnic in the canyon.

Whether seeking adventure, a change of scenery or simply an opportunity to reconnect with nature, this is an experience that brings together the spirit of exploration and the pleasure of slowing down. As evening falls, guests can return to camp for an intimate dining experience, surrounded by the stillness of the desert and the beauty of the open landscape.

About This Experience

At the heart of this desert escape is Les Terrasses d'Agafay, a secluded camp comprising 50 luxury tents, nestled among the rocky dunes with the Atlas Mountains as its backdrop. Established in 2020, the property offers guests the opportunity to experience the outdoors without compromising on comfort, with an infinity pool, expansive terrace and on-site restaurant providing inviting spaces in which to unwind between adventures.

The experience can be shaped around individual interests, with a selection of activities available throughout the stay. Guests can enjoy a private camel ride departing directly from camp, explore the desert on a guided quad excursion or discover its quieter surroundings on horseback. For those with a passion for driving, an instructor-led Porsche Cayenne off-road experience offers a more exhilarating way to navigate the rugged terrain.

A particularly distinctive addition is the Flying Dress experience, where guests can choose from a selection of elegant flowing gowns in colours including Sand Beige, Majorelle Blue, Fuchsia Pink, Ochre Yellow, Emerald Green and Tangerine Orange. Accompanied by a professional photographer, the one-hour session captures the movement of the dresses against the desert landscape, with approximately 40 photographs to choose from. The experience can be followed by a leisurely picnic in the canyon, offering time to take in the surroundings at a slower pace.

Whether visiting for a single day or extending the experience into an overnight stay, Agafay offers a wonderful opportunity to discover a different side of Morocco, away from the city's more familiar sights.

Why We Chose This Experience for You

Morocco is a destination that offers so much more than the bustling souks and beautiful architecture of Marrakech. We particularly love the opportunity to introduce guests to Agafay, a landscape that feels worlds away from the city despite being just 45 minutes from its centre.

What makes this experience special is its versatility. It can be as adventurous or as leisurely as guests wish, whether that means spending the afternoon exploring the desert, enjoying a private photography session or simply taking in the surroundings over a beautifully arranged picnic. Combined with the comfort of a secluded desert camp, it offers a rather different perspective on Morocco and an opportunity to experience its natural beauty in a more immersive way.
