2 Days Atlas Mountains Hike and Agafay Desert Tour from Marrakech

Experience Berber villages, mountain trekking, and a magical camel ride in the desert – all in just 2 unforgettable days.

Escape the hustle and bustle of Marrakech and immerse yourself in the natural beauty and cultural richness of Morocco on this unique 2-day adventure. This journey combines the best of the High Atlas Mountains and the serene landscapes of the Agafay Desert, offering the perfect blend of mountain trekking and desert experience.

Your tour begins with a scenic drive to Imlil Valley, located at the foot of Mount Toubkal, North Africa’s highest peak. Accompanied by a local mountain guide, you’ll trek (or ride a mule) through traditional Berber villages, walk past terraced fields, and enjoy a hearty lunch in a local guesthouse overlooking the valleys. Spend the night in a charming Berber guesthouse in the village of Ait Souka, where you’ll experience authentic mountain hospitality under starry skies.

On the second day, journey across the beautiful Kik Plateau with its sweeping views of Lalla Takerkoust Lake, before arriving in the Agafay Desert. Unlike the sandy Sahara, Agafay offers a dramatic rocky desert landscape just outside Marrakech. Enjoy a peaceful lunch in a desert camp, followed by a relaxing camel ride at sunset, with the Atlas Mountains silhouetted in the background. A perfect end to your journey before returning to Marrakech in the evening.

We booked the 2 Days Atlas Mountains Hike and Agafay Desert Tour from Marrakech and it was the highlight of our trip to Morocco! The hike through the Atlas Mountains was breathtaking, with stunning views and welcoming Berber villages along the way. In the evening, we continued to the Agafay Desert where we enjoyed a magical sunset, a delicious Moroccan dinner, and a peaceful night under the stars. Everything was perfectly organized, from the transfers to the guides. Highly recommended!

The 2 Days Atlas Mountains Hike and Agafay Desert Tour from Marrakech is perfect if you want both adventure and relaxation. On the first day, we explored the Atlas Mountains with a professional local guide who shared so much about Berber culture. On the second day, we reached the Agafay Desert and it felt like a dream — camel ride, campfire, and a luxury tent stay. A great mix of nature, culture, and comfort.

If you are visiting Morocco, don’t miss the 2 Days Atlas Mountains Hike and Agafay Desert Tour from Marrakech. The hike was not too difficult but very rewarding, with panoramic views of valleys and snow-capped peaks. Spending the evening in Agafay was unforgettable — a true desert atmosphere so close to Marrakech. The team took care of everything, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. I would definitely do it again!
