Agafay Desert Camel Ride at Sunset

The classic camel ride, but with the right backdrop: 40 minutes from Marrakech the Agafay desert offers lunar-stone hills and views of the snow-capped Atlas in winter. You ride for about an hour at sunset, with a mint tea stop in a Berber camp and time for photos.

A short experience, perfect if you don't have days for the Sahara: leave Marrakech in the late afternoon and return after sunset. From €25 per person with transfer; it combines perfectly with the Agafay dinner show for a full evening.

Good to know

• Agafay is a stone desert, not sand: for tall dunes you need Merzouga or Zagora.
• Camel riding rocks side to side: if you have back problems, the quad or the camp dinner are better.
• In summer the sunset slot is the only sensible one: daytime heat is intense.
