Agafay Desert Dinner from Marrakech

Dinner in the Agafay desert is a Moroccan evening in the open: lanterns across the camp, a full spread of salads, tagine or couscous, mint tea, and live music once the plates are cleared — about 40 minutes from your Marrakech hotel.

What is served

A traditional Moroccan meal: an assortment of cooked and raw salads to start, followed by tagine or couscous, then seasonal fruit and mint tea. Vegetarian options are available — tell us in advance and we arrange it with the camp.

If anyone in your group has allergies or dietary requirements, send us the details on WhatsApp when you book so the kitchen can prepare properly.

The evening after dinner

Camps usually follow dinner with drumming and Gnawa music, and some evenings include dance and a fire show. Away from Marrakech's light, the sky above the camp is genuinely dark, which is half the reason people remember the night.

We drive you back to your hotel afterwards, so you do not need to arrange transport.
