The Best 2 Days From Marrakech To The Agafay Desert

2-Day Marrakech to Ourika Valley, Imlil, and Agafay Desert Luxury Camp Itinerary:
Your adventure begins with an early morning departure from your hotel in Marrakech, around 8:30 AM. A comfortable 4×4 vehicle or a luxury minivan will take you on a scenic drive to the Ourika Valley, nestled in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. The journey offers stunning views of lush green landscapes, traditional Berber villages, and flowing rivers. Arriving in the Ourika Valley, you’ll have the chance to explore this beautiful region. Visit the local markets, where you can see traditional crafts and products. Take a leisurely walk along the river and through the charming villages. If you’re up for a bit of a hike, you can trek to the Setti Fatma waterfalls, a series of seven cascades that offer refreshing sights and sounds. After exploring Ourika Valley, we will continue our journey to Imlil, a picturesque village situated at the base of Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa. Imlil serves as a popular starting point for trekking adventures. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to stroll through the village, interact with the friendly locals, and perhaps visit a traditional Berber house to learn about their way of life. Enjoy a traditional Moroccan lunch in Imlil, savoring dishes like tagine and couscous, which are staples of the local cuisine. In the early afternoon, set off towards the Agafay Desert. The drive offers a stark contrast as the lush landscapes give way to the rocky, moon-like terrain of Agafay. Upon arrival at your luxury desert camp, you’ll be greeted with warm Moroccan hospitality. Refresh with a welcome drink and settle into your luxurious tent, which combines traditional Moroccan decor with modern comforts.Take some time to explore the camp and its surroundings. Engage in activities like camel riding, quad biking, or a guided nature walk, allowing you to fully appreciate the unique beauty of the Agafay Desert. As the day draws to a close, head to a vantage point to watch the sunset over the desert. The shifting colors of the sky and the serene landscape create a breathtaking view. Dinner at the camp is a sumptuous affair under the stars. Enjoy a multi-course meal featuring traditional Moroccan cuisine, accompanied by the flickering light of lanterns and possibly live music or entertainment. After dinner, take advantage of the clear desert skies for stargazing, or gather around a campfire to share stories and soak in the tranquil night. Retire to your luxurious tent for a restful sleep amidst the desert tranquility.
