Agafay Desert Tour

How can I meet my driver in Marrakech?

Your driver will meet you directly at your accommodation in Marrakech. If you are staying in a riad inside the old Medina where vehicles cannot enter, your driver will come to your accommodation and meet you at the reception. We will use the accommodation details you provided during your booking, so you do not need to go to another meeting point.

Is Agafay Desert the same as Merzouga Desert?

No. Agafay Desert and Merzouga Desert offer different landscapes. Agafay is a rocky desert located near Marrakech and does not have the large sand dunes of the Sahara. Merzouga Desert is located beside the Erg Chebbi dunes in southeastern Morocco and is part of the Sahara region. Both offer camel rides and desert camps, but Merzouga is the better choice for travelers looking for the Sahara sand-dune experience.

Is this a private tour or a shared tour?

Are vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free meals available?

Does the luxury desert camp in Agafay serve wine?

Some luxury camps in Agafay Desert serve wine and other alcoholic beverages, while others do not. This depends on the camp and its alcohol licence. If having wine with dinner is important to you, please let us know in advance so we can confirm whether it is available at your selected camp.

Is this tour suitable for families with children?
