1. Lunch in The Luxury Camp in the Great Agafay Desert
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
27 miles from Marrakech, Agafay desert is a wonderful mineral desert with an exceptional micro climate, halfway between the mountains of the Atlas and the great plains of the Pearl of the South, and offers breathtaking landscapes. The weather changes very quickly here in Agafay and throughout the day colours, contrasts and atmospheres shift and swirl as if a master painter were at work. No sand dunes here, but soft rolling hills of pebble, stone and rock, although as you follow the tracks and hills of the Agafay desert you will feel the soul of the Sahara in this immersion into authentic nomad experience.
Inclusions: Lunch, Air-conditioned vehicle
Exclusions: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase), Drinks

Overall it was a great experience. Most of our time was spent traveling in a mini bus, but time at camp was really worth it. A couple highlights: - Riding on the camels. They seemed to be treated ok and it was neat to walk by all the local agriculture (mostly melons). This was not a very sandy area, but there were some dunes. It felt like we were in a huge flat crater. - Eating dinner with our guide in the big tent. He told us about several berber traditions and what it was like to go from a nomadic lifestyle to working in tourism. He included all the members of our group, speaking English or Spanish as needed. The food was very good, and I was glad to have several questions answered about moroccan cuisine, such as learning that "sheeba" is wormwood/absinthe, and it's what they put in the tea when it's cold outside. - Our tent was simple but very clean and spacious. Much nicer than I expected. Areas for improvement / things to keep in mind - When booking this trip we got a confirmation number and the name of the tour company, but it was a bit tricky to figure out who to call/email for them to pick you up (and we didn't speak French). Definitely work with someone at your riad/hostel to get in touch with this tour company so you don't need to worry about it. Evidently, even though you book months in advance, the details of where to pick you up are decided last minute. - The tours along the route to Zagora leave a lot to be desired. On the way there, they stopped at the place they filmed Gladiator and some Game of Thrones episodes, but the tour guide there was mediocre and you mostly just wander around, so bring a big hat and plenty of water. Also, you'll need to pay the guide 30 DH or, so have some small bills handy. On the way back, we mostly just stopped to use the restroom. - The restaurants along the way are pricey, for tourists. I was on vacation and didn't mind spending 120 DH a meal, but if you're on a budget, bringing your own snacks would be a good call. One final silver lining of the tour is it's in a group, so you get to meet interesting folks from around the world.

This is one of the best things I've ever done on holiday, and cannot praise Mohamed enough. The day was carefully structured and along with the waterfalls the walking in the mountains, and the drive there, was spectacular. We went on a Saturday which meant we could also visit the Berber weekly market. To be able to walk off the mountains and into Mohamed's family home for tagine was a privilege and something I will never forget. A thousand thank yous and we will return, inshallah.
