Agafay Desert or Palmeraie: which should you choose?
Agafay Desert
The Agafay Desert is a rocky, open desert landscape with views towards the Atlas Mountains. It’s about a 40-minute drive from Marrakech.
Palmeraie
The Palmeraie is the palm grove on the edge of Marrakech. It’s only about 20 minutes away, so it suits travellers who are short on time.
