Day Pass in the Agafay Desert

The camp from eleven until the light turns. Pool, lunch, and the long quiet hours in between.

A day pass gives you the run of a camp on the plateau without staying the night. You arrive from eleven, you have the pool and the terraces, lunch is served under cover, and you leave when the light starts to go.

It suits people who are based in Marrakech and want a day out of the city, or who are travelling on and have one afternoon to spare. If you would rather see the plateau after dark, the Night Pass covers sunset and dinner instead.

Before you come

How and when do I pay?
You pay in cash at the end of the day, to the driver who brought you. Nothing is taken when you book and no card details are needed. Bring the amount with you: there is no card machine at the camps and no cash point on the plateau. Your booking is held on our written confirmation alone.
What time does the day pass start and end?
From 11am to 6pm. Lunch is served in the middle of that window. If you would rather stay for sunset and dinner, the Night Pass runs from 2pm to 10pm.
Is lunch included?
Yes. A Moroccan lunch and soft drinks are included. Tell us about allergies or dietary requirements when you book and we pass them on.
Can I get there without a car?
Yes. We arrange transfers from your riad, hotel or the airport. It is roughly 40 minutes from central Marrakech.
Can I add an activity?
Camel rides, quad biking and buggies can all be added to a day pass. They are booked separately and cost extra.
What should I bring?
Swimwear, a towel if you prefer your own, sun cream and a hat. The plateau is exposed and there is very little shade away from the camp.

Staying the night instead?

The plateau is different after dark. Tell us your dates and we will place you in the camp that suits.
