Desert Trip

We have curated a full-day cultural visit and desert trip.

The excursion will explore the stunning landscapes of the Agafay Desert and Atlas Mountains on a camel ride from Marrakech, visit a local argan oil cooperative to learn about producing quality argan oil, and provide immersion in the serene atmosphere of the local culture, among other activities.
