Would you like to discover the lunar landscapes of the famous Agafay desert, 45 minutes south of Marrakech, during your stay? Dunes & Désert welcomes you to its brand-new base in a magnificent oasis in the heart of the Agafay desert!
Built with 90% natural materials (earth, wood, stone), our new Agafay base offers an exceptional welcome for all our activities departing from this stone desert.
In fact, your day begins and ends in this new space designed to welcome and relax our customers. Here you can freshen up, go to the toilet, visit the camels in their enclosure, taste the famous Moroccan tea accompanied by delicious pastries… And even enjoy a delicious tagine or couscous, depending on the activity you choose!

From our oasis, you will have access to the following activities:

– Ride a camel through this lunar landscape, dressed in the traditional cheich of Saharan nomads, with a view of the Atlas Mountains. An unforgettable experience for the whole family! Children under 10 years of age must be accompanied by an adult and share the ride (half price). For all our camel excursions, we advise you to wear comfortable clothing, not too tight, and warm in winter. Closed shoes (no flip-flops) and long pants are recommended (avoid shorts and short skirts to respect local customs). Camel rides are available all year round.

– Quad biking: our guides will take you on trails totally forgotten by tourists in the Agafay desert. You’ll zigzag between stretches of dry earth and arid hills that stand out like dunes against the sky. You’ll even pass through abandoned Berber villages. There are tracks for all levels, making it the ideal tour for a day out with family or friends (including children). The great thing about quad biking is that you can have fun in all weathers! It’s just as much fun on dry land as in the mud. Our circuits are accessible all year round, and several slots are available each day: morning, afternoon, full day…

– Buggy ride: treat yourself to a moment of pure adrenalin on the rocky hills of the Agafay desert! These two-seater vehicles are perfect for slaloming between the various obstacles you’ll encounter as you follow our professional guides! Our buggy rides are open to all levels: whether you’re a beginner or an expert, you’re bound to have a great time exploring our trails, which are well off the beaten tourist track. Our fleet includes Wolverine Yamaha, Can Am and Polaris buggies, all in excellent condition. Equipped with powerful engines that are just as enjoyable to drive on flat or uneven terrain, and with speed peaks on flatter terrain, these buggies will give you adrenaline and safety. Our buggy rides are available all year round, because we have just as much fun on dry land as in the mud. You can choose from several packages: full-day, half-day or combined with a camel ride.

– Don’t feel like choosing between two activities? The “combo” is for you! Choose our combined quad + dromedary or buggy + dromedary activities and enjoy two activities in one day! With a lunch break (tajine or couscous) to die for. The “combo” is truly the perfect activity for a stay in Morocco, perfect for the whole family or a group of friends!
– New: we also offer a camel ride in the Agafay desert on a PRIVATE tour. Arid, pastel-colored hills set against the backdrop of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains. A real postcard! Experience the magic of the desert caravans that once roamed these same roads between the Sahara and the Atlantic… A must-try!
