As part of our Sidecar Tour of Marrakech, our guides recommended that we escape the frenzied energy of the city and book a half day camp in the tranquil desert. Excited by the prospect of a relaxing oasis in the scorching heat, we eagerly called to reserve our spot at The White Camel Agafay, after considering several other options.
After arranging for a taxi through one of the recommended companies, we embarked on an hour-long journey towards the camp, navigating through bumpy and unfinished roads. But as we arrived and checked in, any discomfort from the ride was quickly forgotten with a refreshing welcome drink in hand and the temptation of an infinity pool just steps away. Our requests for specific drinks were met with difficulty, as the camp seemed to be more focused on providing a party atmosphere for groups of bachelorettes.
As the sun began to set over the horizon, we took a dip in the pool before indulging in a delicious meal. At only $45 per person, this experience was an incredible deal and served as the perfect finale to our first trip to Morocco.
Looking back, my only regret is not booking The White Camel Agafay for a full day. The thought of being completely disconnected from civilization and fully immersing ourselves in the serene natural surroundings is something I wish we had experienced during our time there.
