A day trip from Marrakech to Agafay Desert offers a wonderful opportunity to experience a unique desert landscape, just 30–45 minutes away from the city. Unlike the famous Sahara Desert, Agafay is a stone desert with striking sand dunes, rocky hills, and palm trees. It’s a great destination for a day trip to escape the hustle and bustle of Marrakech.
