Lalla Takerkoust lake sits right beside the Agafay Desert, about 40 km from Marrakech, making the two a perfect combined day trip: desert plains and a turquoise lake, both backed by the High Atlas Mountains.
What is Lalla Takerkoust?
Lalla Takerkoust is a scenic reservoir near Marrakech, popular for lakeside lunches, water sports and relaxing with mountain views. It pairs beautifully with the nearby Agafay Desert.
Combine the lake and the desert
A great day mixes a morning or lunch by the lake with an afternoon in the Agafay: a camel ride, quad tour or pool day, ending with a sunset dinner.
