Agafay’s rocky desert turns magical after dark, and this overnight trip from Marrakech captures it without the long Sahara haul. Late-afternoon minibus pickup gets you to the cozy camp in an hour, just in time for welcome mint tea and optional sunset camel ride as the sky shifts pink and orange. Dinner around the campfire – salads, chicken tagine, couscous and dessert – comes with belly dancing, gnawa music and a fire show. Sleep in a comfy tent under brilliant stars, wake for a glowing sunrise and simple Berber breakfast, back in Marrakech by midday. Peaceful tradition and desert stillness in one short escape. (Note: kids under 10 not allowed.)
