We will enjoy a pleasant excursion from Marrakech combining art, nature, and Berber culture.
We will start with a visit to the magnificent Anima Gardens – André Heller, a colourful universe of lush plants, sculptures and art installations, with the Atlas Mountains as a backdrop. We can stroll along shaded paths, discover hidden works of art and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the place.
Next, we will visit the Saffron Paradise in the Ourika Valley and continue the day with a scenic drive to the rocky Agafay desert, where we will arrive at a comfortable camp offering breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and, on clear days, the Atlas Mountains.
We will have the opportunity to sample a traditional Moroccan lunch consisting of fresh, local dishes — salads, tagines, and seasonal fruits — served in a peaceful setting in the heart of the desert. We will take time to relax, have a drink, and soak up the atmosphere before returning to Marrakech.
This full-day experience is ideal for travellers seeking a combination of adventure, comfort, and desert landscapes.
