An hour from Marrakech, the stone desert faces the snowy peaks of the Atlas.
Agafay has no great dunes: it is a desert of bare hills, ochre and grey, that change colour with the light. You walk along the ridges facing the Atlas, before a night in a luxury camp, in a tent with a proper bed and bathroom.
The next day you walk from village to village to Lake Lalla Takerkoust. A short break for a long weekend, or to round off a stay in Marrakech.
