Marrakech To Agafay Desert

Your driver will take you up at 09:00 a.m. for the Marrakech to Agafay Desert day excursion, which will allow you to appreciate the tranquillity of the countryside, Takerkoust Lake, and the Agafay Desert. The path is shaded by lush vegetation, olive and orange orchards, and passes through the occasional village of Ait Imour, from which we will go off road and drive through a completely different scenery of stone desert, barren light brown plateaux, Bedouin villages, Oasis, and high hills with panoramic views of the High Atlas. After a few hours, small spots of green will appear, and you'll be back on the tarmac road flanked by old eucalyptus trees. You will reach the Lalla Takerkoust's rim. You will arrive at the brink of the Lalla Takerkoust lake, which was erected as a dam to provide energy to Marrakech. You will reach Nfis valley by tiny hills beside the dam, passing through Berber towns and arrive at a Berber family dwelling. You are welcome to visit the house and eat lunch there. After lunch, you will have the choice of hiking for 2 hours with Saida or Hamid and climbing for an hour to see one of the oldest settlements in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains' largest forest. Following a visit to a traditional olive oil presser, you will descend between olive trees and terraced fields to the only house next to the Nfis river, from which your journey will continue to Ouiragan via the forest, traditional salt pools, and Asni, a small town (market on Saturdays) with a view of Toubkal, North Africa's highest peak. Before arriving in Marrakech, you will pass through the Moulay Brahim gorges, the Ghighaya valley, and Tahanouete.
