    Agafay

    Around 9am the trip starts heading south, between olive farms, but before, see the high Atlas, and then, finish with the Agafay desert area, that remains one of the most beautiful and also the closest deserts to Marrakesh . This is a large and arid rocky hilly site that offers you the feeling of being in the desert but not away from Marrakesh.
