Agafay Desert — FAQs
Is Agafay a real desert?
Agafay is a rocky stone desert rather than a sand desert. It offers dramatic scenery and a desert atmosphere very close to Marrakech, but it doesn't have the tall dunes of the Sahara.
Is Agafay worth it if you can't reach the Sahara?
Yes. If you're short on time, Agafay delivers a memorable desert evening with dinner, camps and stargazing without the long drive to Merzouga.
