Our Oasis in the Heart of the Agafay Desert

The only palm oasis just 40 minutes from the Red City

Just 40 minutes from Marrakech, discover a rare and unforgettable experience in the only palm oasis of this scale so close to the city. While most Moroccan oases require long drives toward the Sahara, our private Agafay oasis offers the luxury of the desert without the distance. Nestled between majestic mountains, wind-sculpted canyons, and rocky desert hills, our 10-hectare natural sanctuary invites you to experience total disconnection in absolute calm. Dozens of lush palm trees rise into the sky, forming a green haven of freshness and serenity in the mineral landscapes of Agafay. Beneath traditional Berber tents or in the natural shade of the trees, we welcome our guests to an intimate and peaceful retreat, no matter how busy the day. You’ll enjoy generous, home-style Moroccan cuisine, lovingly prepared: slow-cooked tajines, fragrant couscous, seasonal salads, freshly baked bread, and mint tea, served in a welcoming and soothing atmosphere.

Our oasis is ideal for:

  • A contemplative break after a quad or camel ride
  • A traditional Moroccan lunch by the dry riverbed
  • A buggy excursion with a dramatic arrival through desert trails
  • A walk through the dry river, surprisingly alive with birds, plants, and contrasts
  • A romantic dinner under the stars, by lantern light and open fire
  • Or simply to enjoy the silence of the desert, carried on the wind through the palms

Hundreds of travelers have shared their experience at our oasis on Tripadvisor and Google Reviews, praising the warm welcome, the stunning setting, and the quality of the food. Check out what they have to say, and discover why our oasis has become a must-see destination in the Agafay Desert. Our oasis is more than just a place—it’s a signature. A signature of Dunes & Desert, offering exclusive access to an Agafay that is authentic, private, and deeply alive. Come experience what few travelers ever get to discover.

 

Situation

A track accessible to cars and minibuses links the road to our parking area.

How do you get there?

Many of our activities include transportation from Marrakech. Our drivers will take you there with a smile and kindness. If the activity does not include transportation, please ask our booking office about your options. We have shuttles that run several times a day.

Alternatively, you can arrive by car, via the Dam road (P2009 – Route d’Oasiria), then head for Tamesloht. Once you’ve passed through the town, simply go to the end of the road (P2014) and then turn left onto the road alongside the wadi (P2013). After approx. 8.5 km, find the Dunes & Desert sign pointing to the right and turn in that direction. Follow the signs.
