Sunset buggy or quad ride in Agafay
The desert’s most photogenic hour: set off around 90 minutes before sunset, head for the ochre plateaus of Agafay, low light raking across the rock and the High Atlas running through every shade of orange. Back at the base at nightfall, in time for dinner in Marrakech.
