FAQs

Where you’ll go?
Your overnight glamping adventure will take place 35 kilometres from Marrakech, in the small rocky desert of Agafay. Your campsite is set around a central courtyard with views of the snow-capped Atlas mountains. Each elevated tent is decked out with white Berber rugs, iron-framed beds and traditional Moroccan lamps; bathrooms are on the bijou side, but there’s running water for showers. Outside areas have deck seating and fire-pits that glow under the twinkling night sky.
What you’ll do?
During the day you can relax in the lunar-like landscape or venture out for camel-riding, trekking or 4×4 driving. In the evening, you’ll gather around the communal fire-pits for a traditional Moroccan dinner; a local guitarist will provide the mood music for the candlelit scene. When night falls, you’ll cosy up for an overnight stay in your canvas tent – sneak outside to spy on stars that shine brightly away from the city lights. In the morning, you’ll have an alfresco breakfast before returning to Marrakech.
