2 Day Luxury Camp Escape in the Agafay Desert
Not every desert needs a ten-hour drive. Forty minutes from Marrakech, the Agafay is a landscape of bare golden hills with the snow-capped High Atlas on the horizon. This private overnight escape pairs it with a luxury tented camp: a camel ride at golden hour, a long dinner by lantern light, a sky full of stars and a slow breakfast with mountain views.
