Transfer to the Agafay Desert

The organizer usually tells you when and where to pick it up. It is best to pick up your luggage no later than three hours before sunset in Marrakesh. This leaves plenty of time in the camp to see everything before the sun starts to enchant the landscape.

The tour operators usually have meeting points near Jemaa el Fna. The trip takes place in comfortable off-road vehicles or minibuses. It takes about an hour to get there. Transfer to Agafay Desert.

Just like the olive and orange groves and eucalyptus trees farther away, outside of the new buildings.
