Some travellers want the desert evening without the activity programme that usually comes bolted onto it. This is that evening: you are collected from your hotel in the late afternoon, driven out to the Agafay desert for the sunset, and sit down to dinner in a camp under the open sky.
Agafay is not sand. It is a landscape of pale stone hills and dry riverbeds thirty-odd kilometres from Marrakech, with the High Atlas on the horizon — which is why the sunset here is worth driving out for, and why the light lasts longer than it does in the city.
Dinner is Moroccan and served at the camp: salads, a main course cooked on site, and mint tea. Ask us about vegetarian, vegan or allergy requirements when you book and we pass them to the kitchen rather than promising a menu here.
After dinner there is time out at the camp with the lamps and the sky before the drive back to Marrakech. It suits couples, small groups of friends, travellers arriving on a late flight the next day, and anyone whose first evening in Morocco should not be spent in a restaurant with a car park.

Plan your private tripNo. Agafay is a stone and clay desert of pale hills close to Marrakech, with the High Atlas behind it. Sand dunes are in the Sahara, which is a multi-day trip.
No — this evening is deliberately dinner and sunset only. If you want activities we have quad, buggy and camel programmes as separate products.
Tell us when you book and we pass it to the camp kitchen. We confirm what they can do for your date rather than publishing a menu here.
It depends on the season and your pickup point, so we agree the window with you when you book instead of printing an hour we have not verified.
Yes. Tell us their ages and we will let the camp know so the timing and the food suit them.
