This is the third part in my series of a journey with my teenage son to Morocco over Easter 2022.
We headed back down from the Atlas Mountains and set off out to a barren grey landscape – the Agafay Rock desert.
This is not the Sahara, you can reach Agafay within half an hour from Marrakech, but it’s not quite the same pretty experience as the real Sahara, but it’s nearer if you don’ t have enough time.
The road out to Camp Cameleon was incredibly rough, but that’s obviously part of the adventure and they had a sturdy 4x4 that picked us up after some confusion, as it was a new camp. It took a good 20min off the main road on the bumpy gravel before we got to the secluded tent camp.
This camp is very simple, it doesn’t have Wi-Fi and we only had one light bulb in the tent, fuelled by solar power! So be prepared.
We were served a good dinner and a big breakfast, but there’s nothing there except for the dining area and an outdoor seating area which no one used as it was too cold.
We slept well but woke up to a rather grey and cold morning (April). We had breakfast and then went off on a long camel ride, which turned out to be a really meditative and pleasant ride, the sun warming up my bones and brightened up our mood.
We carried on to quad biking, which was fun but I definitely preferred the camel ride despite having done that several times before – for some reason, this was my most comfortable camel experience.
I’m not sure I’d choose to go back to Agafay, Sahara is definitely a more beautiful experience, but again, if you don’t have time, then it’s worth going to the rock desert.
Enjoy your travels!
