About this experience
Dive into the soul of Morocco with our camel ride in the Agafay Desert. Less than an hour from Marrakech, forget the city's turmoil and let yourself be carried by the peaceful rhythm of ancient caravans.
This experience begins with a visual immersion: you will don traditional nomad attire—the gandoura and the cheche—for authentic sun protection and the look of a true desert traveler.
Mounted on your camel, you will traverse the rocky ridges and valleys of Agafay, a lunar landscape of wild beauty. The highlight of this excursion is undoubtedly the sunset.
As the Atlas Mountains loom on the horizon, the sky takes on flamboyant colors, offering a striking natural spectacle. This approximately one-hour walk is an invitation to contemplation and serenity.
To conclude this adventure beautifully, you will enjoy a traditional mint tea under a Berber tent, sharing a moment of conviviality with our local camel drivers.
It is the ideal activity for those wishing to experience the magic of the desert in a gentle, ethical, and memorable way. Families with children, couples, and solo travelers looking for an iconic Moroccan activity that is accessible and peaceful.

« Consiglio tanto ITINERANCE PLUS che è riuscita ad accoglierci e farci sentire a nostro agio nel organizzare i nostri tour con loro, a differenza di molte agenzie che abbiamo sentito prima di loro, (quest’ultime molto vaghe e oppressive) . Hanno una vasta proposta di esperienze e servizi di trasposto. Siamo stati ad Essaouira e Ourika in giornata, servizio di solo trasporto andata e ritorno, ma comunque puntuale come da accordo, svariati Caffe/toilette STOP o PHOTO STOP ( aprezzatissimi) , nella tratta di ourika ci siamo fermati pure a visitare e scoprire una casa berbera e gustarci un bicchiere di te offerto! Poi ci hanno organizzato un viaggio di tre giorni verso il deserto di MerZouga Un tour meraviglioso che consiglio tantissimo Mi soffermo sui servizi offerti dall’agenzia: Trasporto, prima notte in albergo con cena e colazione e seconda notte in tenda con cena SOETTACOLO davanti al fuoco e colazione giorno dopo, e GIRO IN CAMELLO . da non trascurare la disponibilità dell’autista durante i tragitti sopratutto con i photostop Esperienza molto molto bella! E tutto come da accordato . Menziono HASNA che è stata la nostra organizzatrice e IL NOSTRO PUNTO DI RIFERIMENTO che con i suoi modi e SOPRATTUTTO la sua DIPONIBILITA CI ha fatto sentire come a casa.

« Félicitations aux organisateurs pour l’accueil chaleureux et le respect dont vous avez fait preuve du début à la fin. Vous avez su rendre chaque instant mémorable. Toutes les excursions étaient parfaites : le vol en montgolfière qui m’a offert une vue incroyable, la balade à dos de chameau pleine de douceur, la piscine à Agafay où j’ai pu me détendre et profiter du calme… chaque activité a été organisée avec soin et professionnalisme. Merci pour cette expérience inoubliable, vous avez réellement marqué mon séjour.♥️ »

Conhecemos a Itinerante Plus já em marrakesh, através do Youssef. Youssef nós proporcionou excelentes passeios a um ótimo preço! Foi uma experiência incrível!! Viajamos por diversos lugares como Ouzoud, Deserto de Agafay, montanhas Atlas, Ourzazate e outros. Sempre com transportes de qualidade e seguros. Cumpriu tudo o que foi prometido! Super indico. Além de tudo foi sempre muito atencioso... esteve a disposição a todo momento para nos dar dicas na própria marrakesh, onde comer, melhores lojas para compras, etc. Quando voltarmos de certeza que o procurarei novamente. We got to know Itinerante Plus already in Marrakesh, through Youssef. Youssef provided us with excellent tours at a great price! It was an incredible experience!! We traveled through different places like Ouzoud, Agafay Desert, Atlas Mountains, Ourzazate and others. Always with quality and safe transport. Fulfilled everything that was promised! Super nominate. In addition, he was always very attentive... he was available at all times to give us tips on Marrakesh itself, where to eat, the best stores to shop, etc. When we return I will definitely look for it again.

The experience if was incredible!!! The driver good person a lot of paciente cause the ucrania girls that speak down, make lot of noise, we stop more times for this girls cause the princes nice to change more than 5 times in a day!! The experience in the desert is for enjoy something different no for instagramers that only disturb the group! The dessert if was incredible but yes the camel's no Smells like roses!!! I hate how this kind of people can speak wrong about your agency really!!!! This 4 princes it's better still at home!!! And we take more air!!! For the rest of the group if was magic and incredible experience! Lo escribo en ingles para que se entere más gente! Pero de verdad que es una experiencia super bonita! Lo peor fue contar con esas 4 cotorras que solo se preocupaban de los instagramers y de subir su foto con vestidos diferentes!! Me parece fatal que hablen así de la agencia!!!

Merci Youssef, pour l’incroyable excursion nous avons visité ourika le village berbère c’est à faire avec une belle petite randonnée d’une heure et demi pour voir la cascade et prendre de belles photos avec un très beau paysage. Et nous avons fait le quad à Agafay c’était l’une de mes plus belles excursions avec bien entendu le dîner et le show du soir juste incroyable la vue le paysage les gens serviables. L’année dernière j’avais fait l’essaouira c’était trop bien aussi. Bien entendu ce n’est pas la première fois que je passe par cette agence c’est la deuxième fois la première fois avec mes parents et la deuxième fois avec mon mari. Les prix sont vraiment attractif et pas cher je recommande et je reviendrais avec grand plaisir. Merciiii Yousseeeef De la part de Soso et Imen les tounssiiii

We arranged an air balloon ride along with quad biking and a camel ride through Itinerance Travel, and our experience was absolutely amazing. Hasna from Itinerance Travel assisted us in booking all the activities. She was incredibly helpful, patiently answering all our queries and always responding to our messages promptly. Everything was meticulously planned, from picking us up at our hotel to dropping us back, with no delays whatsoever. Our air balloon pilot was friendly and thoroughly explained the entire process, including the dos and don’ts before our ride. Flying at an altitude of over 900 meters was a truly mesmerizing experience. And not to forget—the landing was exceptionally smooth! 😊
