Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Agafay Desert Transfers & Travel

Q: How long is the transfer time from Marrakech to Agafay Desert?

The travel time from Marrakech (city center or airport) to the Agafay Desert camps is typically between 35 and 45 minutes, depending on the pickup location and traffic. Our drivers use the most efficient routes.

Q: Why can't I use a standard Marrakech Grand Taxi to reach the Agafay Camps?

The final 5-10 kilometers to the desert camps involve driving on unpaved tracks (the 'piste'). Standard city taxis are usually not licensed or equipped to handle this terrain, often dropping you off far from your camp. Taxi Agafay uses specialized vehicles (Van, 4x4) licensed for tourist transport to guarantee door-to-door service.

Q: Is Agafay a sand desert like the Sahara?

No. Agafay is known as the 'stone desert' or 'Marrakech desert.' While it offers a dramatic, remote landscape and luxury camping experiences similar to the Sahara, its terrain consists of dusty, white hills and rocky expanses, not the large sand dunes of Merzouga.

Q: Is the fixed price the same for all camps in Agafay?

Yes. Our fixed-price model applies to all major camps and lodges within the Agafay Valley, including Scarabeo, White Camp, Terre des Étoiles, and others. The price is per vehicle, not per person, regardless of the final piste distance.
