Yes, you can reach the Agafay by helicopter. A private flight lifts off from Marrakech, crosses the stone desert and the foothills of the High Atlas, and sets down right at a desert camp, trading the 40-minute drive from the city for a short, scenic flight.
A private flight over the Agafay
From the moment you take off, the Agafay opens up beneath you: rolling stone hills, dry riverbeds and reservoirs, with the snow-capped Atlas on the horizon. It is the most scenic way to arrive in the desert, and a memory in itself before you even land.
What’s included
- Private helicopter transfer from Marrakech to the Agafay
- A scenic aerial tour over the desert and the Atlas foothills
- Landing directly at a desert camp with its own airstrip
- The option to combine your flight with a pool day, a private lunch or a sunset dinner
Who it’s for
The helicopter is a favourite for special occasions, proposals and honeymoons, for VIPs and photographers, and for anyone short on time who wants maximum wow with minimum travel.
How it works and price
Flights are private and arranged with our helicopter partner; capacity and timing depend on the aircraft and the weather. Because every flight is tailored, we quote it per flight on request. Tell us your date, the number of passengers and what you would like to do at the camp, and we will come back with a clear, all-in quote.
Make a day of it
Most guests pair the flight with time in the desert. See our Agafay activities and prices or a private desert dinner to build the full day.
