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.

Tour Plan
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.
