By Private Transfer 

Duration: 3 hours 

Traveling by private transfer is an excellent way to see, explore, and experience the stunning Agafay Desert. The earth-toned topography alongside the route gives way to snow-capped mountains in the distance, and the drive will offer many opportunities for you to ask your driver to stop so you can get out to take photographs. 

You can also ask your driver to stop at Lake Takerkoust, a popular weekend destination for people living Marrakech to go swimming, boating, and sailing. For much of the rest of your journey you will have be passing through landscapes filled traditional Berber homes and villages, which you may like to stop and briefly explore. 

You may also chose to ask your driver to take the slightly longer route through Asni, a small town with views that look out on Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa. The town has a market on Saturdays. 

By Car Rental

Duration: 3 hours 

Some travelers who are interested in making longer stops to participate in any of the Agafay Desert's many sporting and adventure activities may prefer the option of renting a car. Of these activities, quad biking and camel riding are two of the most popular. The route is largely flat and easy to navigate, so most drivers should be comfortable navigating the roads.
