The Agafay Desert is stunning at both ends of the day, but sunrise and sunset offer different experiences. Here is how to choose the perfect time for your camel ride, dinner or photos near Marrakech.
Sunset in Agafay
Sunset is the classic choice: the desert glows gold and pink, the temperature is perfect, and it leads naturally into a dinner show under the stars. It is the best time for a camel ride and the most popular, so camps can be busier.
Sunrise in Agafay
Sunrise is quieter, cooler and wonderfully peaceful, ideal in the hot summer months and the only option for a hot air balloon flight. The light is crisp and the desert feels like it is yours.
Why not both?
An overnight camp stay lets you enjoy sunset, a starry night and sunrise, the complete Agafay experience.
