Berber villages and a stone desert
After the medina, the High Atlas is the cool, green exhale: walnut groves, terraced villages and mule paths, with Kasbah Tamadot looking across the valley. In the other direction lies the Agafay — a rocky, lunar desert an hour from Marrakech, where we reserve a private corner of a luxury camp, with musicians and an astronomer after dinner.
Mule treks, Berber village visits and a pool with mountain views — about 10°C cooler than Marrakech in summer.
In the Agafay, an exclusive-use corner of the camp with your own musicians and an astronomer after dinner.
The Agafay is an hour away; the great dunes of Merzouga are eight to nine hours. We help you choose properly.
Best time to goMarch to May, and the winter months for snow on the peaks — with warm layers for cold desert nights.
A starting point, not a package — every day is shaped around you.
A riad in the medina, and the souks with a private guide.
An hour's drive up to the mountains and Kasbah Tamadot.
A mule trek between Berber villages, with lunch in a family home.
Sunset camel ride, dinner under the stars and an astronomer at your private camp.
For a week-long trip, the Agafay usually wins: an hour from Marrakech, no long drives. If you want the great Sahara dunes, we plan Merzouga properly, with a flight or an overnight on the way.
Very. Camel rides, quad bikes and sandboarding in the desert, and mule treks in the mountains — active, safe and screen-free.
