From Marrakech: Agafay Desert Horse ride with sunset

Discover the Agafay Desert on a horse-riding adventure, just 45 minutes from Marrakech. Ride across golden dunes, admire stunning sunsets, and enjoy refreshing mint tea in this serene and captivating landscape.

Begin your adventure with a convenient pick-up from your accommodation in Marrakech. Set off on a picturesque 45-minute drive southwest, passing through charming olive and orange groves, before arriving at the enchanting Agafay Desert. This serene, rocky expanse offers a perfect escape from the bustling city.

Upon arrival, immerse yourself in the nomadic spirit by joining a horse caravan and dressing in traditional attire, including a blue robe and headscarf. These vibrant garments not only enhance the experience but also provide a wonderful opportunity for unique photos. Once dressed, familiarize yourself with your camel, your companion for the journey ahead.

Embark on a peaceful, one-hour ride across the desert’s captivating arid landscapes. Depending on the season, the terrain may feature patches of greenery, especially during the rainy spring months. Throughout your ride, marvel at the tranquil beauty of the desert and the striking contrast of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains in the distance.

As the sun begins to set, ascend to a high plateau where you'll be treated to a refreshing cup of traditional mint tea. Bask in the stunning hues of the setting sun as it paints the desert in warm, golden tones—a truly magical moment to savor.

As twilight settles over the desert, your driver will escort you back to Marrakech, ensuring a safe and comfortable return to your hotel, Riad, or a central city location. This unforgettable adventure offers a perfect blend of culture, nature, and tranquility.
