Additional Information

The terrain resembles that of the moon, dotted with tiny rocks and mounds in hues of ivory and beige. In the distance, the majestic High Atlas Mountains gleam with shades of cerulean and violet, sometimes adorned with a frosting of snow, varying with the time of year.

It’s true that the Sahara, with its iconic undulating sand dunes, is the quintessential desert destination most envision. However, the trek to the Sahara from Marrakech is a hefty eight-hour drive, often best split across several days. For those with tighter schedules, the Agafay Desert has become a favored alternative, offering quick access from Marrakech for tourists eager to immerse themselves in a surreal habitat for a night.
Revel in a tranquil sunset escapade to the Agafay Desert located a stone’s throw from Marrakech. Bask in the tranquil desert landscape complemented by the breathtaking vista of snow-dressed High Atlas peaks. What’s more, enrich your experience with an optional camel excursion.

Radwan, an excellent driver / guide in Marrakesh - We had an excellent guide and driver named Radwan. He collected us from our Riad and gave us a tour on the way to Nkhila Lodge. Radwan pointed out places of interest along our journey, taking us to a few locations of interest, the highlight being breakfast and demonstration at a woman’s cooperative. We were extremely happy to see Radwan back at Nkhila Lodge as our driver taking us to the airport. Radwan was friendly, courteous, kind and knowledgeable, speaking good English. It goes without saying he was a very safe driver. We would recommend asking for Radwan when they are in Marrakesh. We will certainly request him again when we return.
