What to expect
You'll be picked up and driven in a private 4WD vehicle into the Agafay Desert, heading away from the main tourist zones. The route includes an off-road section designed to show you quieter parts of the landscape. Partway through, you'll dismount for a camel ride across the dunes.
As sunset approaches, the group gathers in a nomadic tent where Moroccan tea is prepared and served using traditional nomad methods. You'll have time to sit, drink tea, and watch the light change over the desert before being driven back. The whole outing takes between 4 and 6 hours depending on driving distance and how long you linger.

Good to know
This suits travellers who want to see Agafay without the crush of large tour groups, and who are comfortable with off-road driving and camel riding. It's suitable for all fitness levels, though the experience isn't recommended for anyone with spinal injuries owing to the rough terrain. Infants can sit on an adult's lap, and specialised infant seats are available. The vehicle holds a maximum of 4 people, which keeps the group intimate but means it books out quickly during peak season. Tips for the driver and staff are not included and expected separately. The timing means you'll experience the best light, but late risers should plan accordingly.
