    When planning a trip to Agafay, travellers usually choose between a relaxing daytime pool pass at a desert camp or an evening sunset dinner with quad and camel activities. This page only answers that choice; for what Agafay is, when to go and how it compares with the Sahara, see our Agafay Desert guide.

    Frequently asked

    Some Agafay camps sell afternoon pool access and dinner together, but each camp sets its own prices and inclusions, so ask for a written total. We publish the €35 sunset evening (14:00–22:00) and do not publish a pool-day price.

    Agafay Desert — Sunset & Dinner

    Afternoon & evening · Quad + camel · Buffet dinner · Fire show under the stars

    Current published basis
    €35 / MAD 350 per person

    An Agafay desert afternoon and evening from Marrakech for €35 / MAD 350 per person, 14:00 to 22:00 with hotel or riad pickup. It includes 1 hour of quad biking, a 30-minute camel ride at sunset, a buffet dinner at a Berber camp and a fire show; drinks and tips are extra. Agafay is a stone desert 45 minutes from the city, not the Sahara sand dunes — for dunes, take the 3-day Merzouga tour. Get picked up at 14:00, ride quad for an hour across the lunar stone desert with the High Atlas on the horizon, swap the engine for a 30-minute camel ride at sunset, then settle into a Berber camp for a buffet dinner (grilled meats, chicken, salads, couscous) and a traditional fire show under the stars. Back at your riad by 22:00.

    Duration: Afternoon & evening (14:00 – 22:00, approx. 8 hours) Shared
