A camel ride in Agafay Desert is one of the most iconic experiences visitors can enjoy during their stay in Marrakech. Often called the "Stone Desert," Agafay offers a peaceful and authentic environment that feels worlds away from the city — even though it’s only 40 minutes from the center of Marrakech.
