# Private Excursion in the Agafay Desert

In our comparison: #53 of 130 in Agafay Desert Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

A day from Marrakech, the Moroccan desert of Agafay is an easy alternative to visiting the Sahara desert further south. With this private tour, avoid the hassle of a self-guided trip and combine the Agafay Desert with a trip to the Atlas Mountains. Explore the Berber villages, drink a tea at home, go to an argan oil cooperative. Cross the Kik plateau, and finish with a 30-minute camel ride in the Agafay before finishing with a meal in a Berber tent. I have more than 42 years of experience as a guide, I can help you in all your excursion in Morroco. I live in the Atlas, near Marrakech city.
