There is a certainty in the recurring rhythms of nature. The sequences of sun and moon. The steadfastness of the seasons, guaranteed to come and go. These constants in a world ever-changing offer reassurance – the first blossom of spring sparking feelings of joy and renewal – a sentiment echoed across the globe.
Living amid the theatre of nature, discover new, extraordinary things about the world and mankind's place within it.
-Vincent Van Gogh
OVERVIEW
With its fascinating history and rich Berber culture, the city of Marrakch is the perfect example of what draws people to Morocco. Near one thousand year old red walls surround the historic medina, with monumental gates leading through to a warren of winding alleys.
Roads follow green valleys dotted with mud-built Berber villages, up through forest and over winding passes then down to wadis and old caravan trading posts on the edge of the Sahara. It is a haven for hikers of all levels from spring through to autumn.
Wake up when the sun rises and admire how the day reveals itself in this deserted area, whilst enjoying breakfast near the tents. After breakfast, you will head to Ouarzazate. Your drive will take you towards the majestic Dades and Todra Gorges, which are known for their excellent rock climbing.
Essaouira is a laid-back port town cooled by the vents alizés trade winds gently blowing in from the ocean on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. Once known as Mogador, the town took its current name from the 18th century medina – ‘souira’ meaning small fortress – with crenelated walls enclosing a handful of palmed-lined avenues and connecting atmospheric alleys. Sandy beaches extend for miles out from either side of the town, swept by near perfect breezes.
ACOMMODATION & DINING
Designed as a unique interpretation of the traditional Desert lodge, Agafay Camp represents the first year-round camp of its kind in North Africa. Elegant, temperature-controlled, tented pavilions bring peerless comfort and privacy to the wilderness – with spacious living and dining rooms, outdoor terraces, fire pits and cooling pools.
A stone's throw from Marrakech, Agafay Camp promises a back-to-nature experience amid an unearthly 900-acre landscape of rugged mesas and rust-coloured sands. A haven of exploration in Southern Morocco’s desert heart, the camp offers ten spacious tented pavilions that provide an unparalleled base for exhilarating journeys through the untouched wilderness of the Moroccan Sahara Desert.
Dining in the wild is a gourmet experience from sunrise until the constellations wheel in the endless night sky. Serving cuisine as artful and sophisticated as in any land-based restaurant, the camps offers multiple dining settings in which to savour exquisite Moroccan, Asian-inspired and international dishes all prepared using the freshest ingredients.
Open to the elements, the Desert Lounge lets the scenery take centre-stage, with views of the majestic Atlas Mountains towering over the undulating sand dunes. Ideal for cocktail soirées, special-occasion dinners, and moments of quiet contemplation.
Wellness & Fitness
Spa experiences at Agafay harness the power of nature to rejuvenate and rebalance. Earth and wind come together for Yoga on the Rocks, as guests take a short hike to the top of a desert formation for a one-of-a-kind movement experience, high above the valley floor.
With breathtaking 360º views of the Grand Agafay Desert, CrossAtlanTrip's dedicated yoga specialist guides guests through the personalised session, using the visual reference of the horizon to bring about balance and shift perceptions.
Put aside distractions and tune into the stillness of the present moment.
Experience the stark beauty and intrinsic peace of the desert with a Mindfulness Walk, indulge in an assisted Floating Meditation in a heated desert pool or disconnect from devices during a dedicated Silent Session, as instructors calm restless minds and cultivate a feeling of profound peace amid Agafay's ancient land.
Designed to imbue a deep sense of place as well as to relax and rejuvenate, this journey is the ideal way to start a stay in Morocco. It begins with an aromatic body exfoliation using a body polish of Moroccan herbs, spices and extra-virgin coconut oil.
Follow this with a classical massage, either aromatic with herbal compresses, or dry with deep stretching or pressure point stimulation. End with a personalised facial that leaves the skin glowing.
