A day pass at Scarabeo means a day at the most photographed camp in the Agafay. Scarabeo is famous for its timeless, design look – canvas tents, muted tones and a clear horizon – about 40 minutes from Marrakech. Scarabeo takes day visitors by arrangement rather than selling a fixed online pass, and it is the choice of photographers and design lovers who want that iconic, minimalist desert setting.
What a day at Scarabeo looks like
Because the setting is the attraction, a day here is as much about the landscape as the pool: swim, lounge, wander the camp for photos, and have a quiet lunch framed by the stone desert and the distant Atlas. The look is deliberately restrained – no loud music, just space and light. The pool is unheated, so Scarabeo is at its best from spring through autumn.
What’s typically included
- Pool and lounger access for the day (by arrangement)
- Lunch at the camp
- Free run of the communal areas for photos
- Optional add-ons: camel ride, sunset session, or an overnight stay
Who Scarabeo suits
Photographers, couples and design-minded travellers. Atmospheric and quiet rather than lively – if you want a party pool, this is not it, and we will say so.
How much a Scarabeo day pass costs
Scarabeo does not publish a fixed day-pass price online – day visits are arranged directly for lunch, dinner or an activity. For reference, comparable pool-and-lunch day passes at nearby Agafay camps run from about 45€ to 55€ per person. We get the current Scarabeo rate confirmed for your date before you commit, so there are no surprises.
Getting there
Scarabeo is about 40 minutes from central Marrakech, the last stretch on desert track. We arrange a private transfer with pick-up from your hotel, riad or the airport, one-way or return with waiting time, so you are not driving back in the dark.

Good to know before you go
The pool at Scarabeo is unheated, so plan your visit between spring and autumn for comfortable swimming. Bring a camera – the camp is built for photographs – along with swimwear, a hat and sun cream. Because day visits are arranged rather than sold online, book a few days ahead so the camp can confirm. It is a quiet, no-music setting, which is exactly why photographers and couples choose it.
