Your Accommodation

A private sunset camel ride in the Agafay Desert is a memorable experience that offers stunning views and a unique way to explore the beautiful Moroccan landscape.

  • Overview of the Agafay Desert

The Agafay Desert is located about 40 kilometers (25 miles) southwest of Marrakech. Unlike the Sahara, it’s a stony desert with rolling hills and rocky outcrops, creating a striking and unique landscape. The proximity to Marrakech makes it an ideal destination for a short excursion.

  • Planning Your Private Sunset Camel Ride

Our tour includes round-trip transportation from your accommodation in Marrakech, a camel ride, a guide, and fresh Moroccan Mint Tea.

Our tour departs from Marrakech in the late afternoon to ensure you arrive in the desert in time for the sunset.
Upon arrival, you’ll be introduced to your camel and given some basic instructions. The ride lasts about 1 hour, taking you through the scenic desert landscape.

Enjoy the breathtaking sunset over the desert, with opportunities to take stunning photos. The colors of the sky and the landscape make for a magical experience.

  • What to Bring:

Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing suitable for the desert climate. Bring a light jacket as it can get cooler in the evening.

Sun Protection: Even though it’s a sunset ride, the sun can still be strong. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
Camera: You’ll want to capture the beautiful sunset and desert scenery.
Water: Stay hydrated by bringing a bottle of water.

  • Additional Tips:

Physical Fitness: Camel riding can be a bit bumpy. Make sure you’re comfortable with the physical demands of riding a camel.

Respect Local Customs: Be respectful of local customs and traditions. If visiting a Berber village or interacting with locals, it’s important to dress modestly and ask permission before taking photos.

Experience Highlights

Scenic Ride: Enjoy the serene and quiet desert environment, with panoramic views of the rocky landscape and distant mountains.

Cultural Insight: Learn about the traditional way of life and the history of camel riding in Morocco from your guide.
Sunset: Witness one of the most beautiful sunsets, with the changing colors casting a magical glow over the desert.

Tour Details Agafay Desert Sunset Camel Ride

Have you ever thought about how it would feel to ride a camel at sunset within the Agafay desert? If so, this guided experience is for you! With an one-hour camel ride, a pause to capture the scenery, and Berber tea drinking in Haima, you'll not want to miss out.

Get collected at your accommodation about 2 hours before sunset and be driven 40 minutes (more or less) to the impressive Agafay desert. Smile as you find camels waiting for you to meet them.

You will also enjoy dressing as a Berber Tuareg with a djellaba and a turban to start the dromedary walk. Marvel as the colors change and the sun descends with a calculated stop to capture by camera the special moment. Next, indulge at Haima in a Moroccan Berber tea and have a chat about the distinct experience before the return to Marrakech.
