The Agafay Desert is located about thirty kilometers south of Marrakech and stretches over several hundred hectares. This desert, however rocky, can be compared to a desert of sand. Indeed, its white dunes stand out from the landscape and resemble the dunes of the Sahara. Right in the middle of this desert, there is a surprising oasis nicknamed the Enchanted Oasis, a true haven of peace and tranquility, where flora and fauna can easily develop. In this hollow of the wadi, frogs and turtles live peacefully, in the midst of water and arid lands! Lost in the desert hills that look like dunes, there are still some Berber villages that continue to exist in this austere but sublime nature.

The team is amazing and what they do shows the integrity they have. One of our party members was ill and had to stop twice during transfer before getting to the bikes. We decided to cancel trip in route. They offered to take other members to bikes and bring the sick family member back to hotel or to reschedule for the next day. Thank you for trying so hard to make this a great trip.
Great friendly guy Youness, speaks Japanese and English and takes good care of everyone. He speaks Japanese English French Spanish and I'm sure many more. Great day can recommend. ユーニスさんというガイドは優しくてツアーの間ちゃんと日本語で丁寧に説明できます‼️ 日本人の方はこちらで旅行したいのであれば是非ユーネスさんのツアーがおすすめです！
