While we love the idea of camping in the desert, in reality, we don’t love sleeping on the cold, hard ground or being exposed to the elements overnight. Temperatures in the desert dip quite low when the sun goes down, and most deserts are home to some dangerous animals such as snakes and scorpions. Fortunately, “glamping” has become somewhat of a trend in recent years, offering all of the fun of camping with none of the discomfort. Caravan Agafay in the Moroccan desert has brought glamping to a new level, allowing guests to sleep under the stars in total comfort and luxury. If you’d like to plan a trip, here’s what you should know.
The campsite is located in the middle of the Atlas Mountains about 45 minutes outside of Marrakech. Guests can take in almost other-worldly views of the mountains and the desert as they enjoy all that the property has to offer.
Aside from 20 tents, each of which includes a king-sized bed, private bathroom, and complimentary Wi-Fi, amenities include two swimming pools, an outdoor movie theater, and even a horse and camel stable. Throughout the day, activities such as yoga classes, camel trek excursions, and even desert survival workshops are held for guests to enjoy.
Caravan Agafay officially opens on October 1, but room reservations are filling up fast! Book now to start planning your trip to this little desert paradise.
