Trip Description

UNIQUE! This stay is an alliance between the discovery of ancestral know-how and disconnecting far from the urban hustle and bustle. For the first part of this stay, we invite you to take part in craft workshops. These workshops are a true social link between the artisan and the traveler. You come out of it richer on a human level. Then, just 45 minutes from Marrakech, the Agafay desert will surprise you and make you forget the hustle and bustle of the red city. Nestled on an oasis in this rocky desert, stay in an Eco Lodge camp, the ideal place where letting go comes naturally.
