AGAFAY DESERT
Just a short drive from Marrakech, the Agafay Desert’s accessibility from the city makes it the ideal escape for reflection as you take in the desert's austere poetry tempered by the brush of local life. Across the first foothills of the High Atlas, the Agafay unfolds as a stony, iron-rust expanse rather than the classic dune sea of the Sahara. In clear light, the peaks of the Atlas appear rimmed with snow. Dry, ochre riverbeds snake their way through folds of rock and clusters of scrub.
