Full description

Most desert days are designed for adults and then children are added. This one is the other way round. The camel ride is kept short, the pool and the shade are central, lunch happens before everyone is too hungry, and the whole thing is close enough to Marrakech that a nap at the riad is still possible afterwards.

You are collected from your hotel in the morning and driven out to the Agafay hills. The camel ride is a gentle loop with handlers walking alongside — long enough to be the story of the holiday, short enough that nobody gets restless. Afterwards the day settles at the camp: pool, loungers, shaded areas and space to run around on safe ground.

Lunch is Moroccan and served at the camp; tell us your children's ages and any dietary needs and we brief the kitchen. Mint tea, water and shade come with it.

If your group splits — one parent wanting a buggy hour, the rest staying at the pool — say so when you book and we will quote it, rather than making the whole family follow one programme.

Good to know before you book

  • Tell us the ages of your children when you enquire. Camel handlers set minimum ages for riding and we confirm them for your date rather than guessing here.
  • There is very little natural shade away from the camp; the shaded areas are part of the plan, not an afterthought.
  • Children must be supervised at the pool at all times — there is no lifeguard included.
  • Agafay is stone desert, not sand dunes, so shoes matter more than sandals.
