A great way to spend an evening if you are in Marrakech. We were picked up at our hotel by our guide Idriss and a driver in a private vehicle. Idriss clearly explained the itinerary to us and we set off on the hour or so drive to the desert. 1st was the desert camel ride at sunset which was absolutely stunning and Idriss made sure he got plenty of photos for us so we could enjoying the camel ride and take in the sunset. We chose to dress in the traditional Berber clothing but you don't have to.
After the camel ride we paused for some tea before heading further into the night-time desert to the restaurant for dinner. The food at the restaurant was amazing, the service excellent and we were entertained by traditional Berber musicians.
Idriss was an excellent guide who took time to explain about the Agafay desert, Berber people and Moroccan traditions, he was more than happy to answer any questions we had.
A final mention to the driver as the drive felt very safe despite the night time desert conditions!
