Just 45 minutes from Marrakech, the Agafay desert changes with the hours. In the morning the air is crisp and the Atlas stands out on the horizon. In the late afternoon the stone hills turn copper and the sky lights up. So, morning or Agafay sunset? It depends on your trip. Here is how to choose, and what we offer at each time of day from our oasis.<\/p>\n\n\n

Morning: fresh air and the whole day ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In November the sun rises around 6:50 am in Marrakech (Morocco time, GMT) and nights drop to about 10 \u00b0C. Mornings start cool, then days climb to around 22 \u00b0C on average. On clear days the morning air lets you see the peaks of the High Atlas from the Agafay ridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another plus: you are back in Marrakech by mid-afternoon. The pace suits families with young children, and your evening stays free for the medina or Jemaa el-Fna square.<\/p>\n\n\n
