It is a magical gateway to all the diversity Morocco has to offer At the heart of stunning lansdacpes, Marrakech is just a short journey away from anywhere:
The Atlas Mountains form an impressive chain that crosses Morocco from south-west to north-east. They separate the Atlantic plains from the Sahara Desert and are home to the highest peak in North Africa, Toubkal (4,167 m). This region offers spectacular landscapes, traditional Berber villages and numerous opportunities for hiking and outdoor adventures.
For an immersive experience among camels, bivouacs and unforgettable sunsets. Near Marrakech, the most accessible desert is Agafay. Located about 30 kilometres from the city, this rocky desert offers an arid, lunar landscape, which is very different from the sand dunes of the Sahara but just as exotic. It is an excellent option for a day trip or a night in a bivouac, with views of the Atlas Mountains. Meanwhile, for a true sandy desert experience, the Merzouga region is ideal. Located about 550 km from Marrakech, it lies at the gateway to the Sahara Desert, near the famous Erg Chebbi dunes. These golden dunes, which can reach heights of up to 150 metres, offer spectacular scenery and are perfect for camel rides, camping under the stars and exploring the desert in all its grandeur.
