Lalla Takerkoust lake day trip with lunch
Forty-five minutes from Marrakech, the Lalla Takerkoust lake spreads its water out in front of the Atlas mountains. It is the definitive easy day out: lunch at the water’s edge, a nap in the shade, superb light at the end of the day.
The lake pairs naturally with the Agafay plateau next door — many travellers link the two in a single day. On its own, it is the ideal trip with young children.

Frequently asked questions
Can you swim in the lake?
It is a reservoir: swimming is not organised. For time on the water, the supervised activities are the right option.
What can you do there?
Depending on the season: pedalos, jet-ski, and horse or quad rides around the shore, paid directly on site.
Is the Agafay combination worth it?
Yes — it is the best use of the day: the lake in the afternoon, then sunset and dinner in Agafay. Ask us for that version.
