The other desert
Agafay at sunset, a camel, and dinner under the Atlas. Back in your bed tonight.
No sand here: Agafay is a desert of stone, forty minutes from the medina, with the High Atlas laid along the horizon. It is the Sahara's quieter cousin, for an evening rather than three days.
01
Late afternoon
The car collects you at our door. Forty minutes, and the city gives way to bare hills the colour of a lion's back.
02
Sunset
A camel walk over the stone desert while the Atlas turns pink, then violet, then gone.
03
Nightfall
Dinner at a camp in the hills, lanterns on, the sky filling with stars. Then the drive home, back at the riad by late evening.
€130 per person
Included: a private car and driver from our door and back, the camel at sunset, dinner at the camp.
