Agafay or the Sahara?

Agafay is a stony desert of hills with views of the Atlas Mountains. It is close to Marrakech and easy to fit into a short trip. The Sahara at Merzouga has the tall golden sand dunes most people picture, but it is a long drive from Marrakech or Fes.

If you have the time, we recommend two nights in the Sahara for the full experience. If your trip is short, Agafay gives you a desert sunset and a night under the stars without the long drive. Read our full comparison of Agafay vs Merzouga and our guide to Sahara desert camps in Morocco.

Getting to Agafay and How Long to Stay

Agafay is about 40 minutes by car from Marrakech. Most camps can arrange a transfer, or your private driver can take you there.

Half a day is enough to enjoy the desert. Arrive in the afternoon, watch the sunset, have dinner and either drive back to Marrakech or stay the night and leave after breakfast. For more ideas in and around the city, see our guide to visiting Marrakech and the top Marrakech experiences you can book now.

The trip of a lifetime! Had the absolute best experience on my custom solo trip to Morocco. Simo and Hassan made planning seamless—they were quick to respond, friendly, and tailored every detail to my wishes. My driver spoke great English, was super accommodating, and went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable and safe at every step, making sure I made it safely to my room at every riad. He even texted me after I got home to ensure I made it back safely! Incredible attention to detail and customer care from start to finish. I’d book with them again in a heartbeat!

8-Day Private Family Tour of Morocco -- Geography, Culture, and Hospitality Wonderful family vacation that showcased the amazing diversity of Morocco. Simply Morocco arranged an 8-day itinerary that was very well-paced and could be tailored to interests. We had a private tour. Our guide picked us up at the airport and stayed with us through the entire journey. Accommodations were all excellent. The agency was responsive and communicative. The hospitality exceeded expectations. Strongly recommend!

Tarifa Lodge

Unforgettable Morocco tour ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Morocco tour – perfectly organized from start to finish! We have just returned from an 11-day private tour of Morocco – and we can say with complete conviction: it was one of the best trips we have ever made! From the first contact, the trip was excellently organised – the travel agency has put together a fantastic itinerary, with lots of variety, well-coordinated pace and very tastefully selected accommodation. Each station was a highlight in itself – scenic, cultural and atmospheric. Our driver and companion HassanBen Hierte was by our side throughout the journey – courteous, reliable, calm and prudent. He took care of everything, was always approachable and coordinated the processes so that we didn't have to worry about anything. The journey went absolutely smoothly – no incidents, no breakdowns, no uncertainties. We could just enjoy and dive deep into the diversity of Morocco. Also Said, who drove us the last two days, was very attentive, friendly and helpful – we also felt in good hands with him. A big thank you to the whole team for this unforgettable trip! The only mistake was that we didn't stay longer ... We can fully recommend this agency and its drivers – to anyone who wants to experience Morocco intensely, comfortably and authentically. We will definitely come back! Best regards Marion and Silvia

A great tour company for your visit to Morocco We had a great vacation in Morocco with thanks to Simply Morocco. We are a family of five, with three adult children. We are not fans of large group tours as they tend to be very rigid and not as personable as small or private tours. When traveling, I typically plan and book all of my accommodations based on where I want to stay and what I want to see. I typically lost book local guides for day tours in different cities that we visit. For Morocco, there were a number of different places we wanted to visit so traveling around by train and renting cars would not be very convenient. I read a number of reviews for private tours and reached out a few to inquire about a custom itinerary. Hassan and his team at Simply Morocco were excellent to work with and helped plan a 15 day tour with a private guide and driver. We based our trip on their 14-day itinerary. Brahim and Omar (guide and driver) were excellent, very professional, and made our trip very easy and enjoyable. Our accommodations in the Riads were very nice, clean, and in great locations in the old Medina's. If you are planning a trip to Morocco, I highly recommend using Simply Morocco.

One of the BEST in Morocco - Travel Agency & Social Media platform I stumbled upon Simply Morocco in instagram. If you haven't visited Morocco I suggest you go look in their social media platform for some inspiration. They also have a rich blog full of details about cities, their food & tradition.. I found very useful while I was preparing for my trip to Morocco. Simply Morocco now can help organize your trips to Morocco. I highly recommend their services to anyone visiting Morocco.
