Overview

Inara Camp offers a desert escape just a short distance from the bustling city life of Marrakesh. The Agafay Desert, with its unique microclimate and stunning landscapes, is only about 18 miles (30 km or less than an hour) from the city. So, you'll be surrounded by views and the snowcapped Atlas Mountains while still being within driving distance to sites like Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, Palais des Congres, and Avenue Mohamed VI.

The camp features 18 serene glamping tents that blend the rustic charm of the desert with the modern amenities of a hotel room. Previous guests noted the comfortable beds and appreciated amenities like air conditioning and private bathrooms with rainfall showerheads. In addition, housekeeping is provided daily, and rollaway/extra beds are available upon request. 

But once you arrive, you really never need to leave if you don't want to, as the staff can help arrange camel rides, quad biking, and e-bike trips to explore the desert terrain. Enjoy live local music performances in the evenings and indulge in traditional Moroccan cuisine under the stars.

They honestly made what could have been a disappointing stay (it was a hard rain for a good part of our afternoon and evening) fun and comfortable. The dinner was delicious and the staff were fun and charming.

Authenticity & Character
We are not into camping so this was the perfect type of stay in a tent for us. The extra touches (e.g. the shop, fun sculptures) were fun.
Location
A reasonable drive from Marrakech. The next day's drive to Essaouira was very reasonable as well.
Staff
Charming and made us laugh out loud. They made us feel very welcomed.
Cleanliness & Comfort
It was amazingly clean considering we were in the desert with whipping winds that night.

From the moment we arrived at this stunning desert camp, we knew we were in for a treat. It was our first time staying in a desert camp, and we only wished we had booked more than one night!

The tents were spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities of a standard hotel room. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and air conditioning in the tents added to the comfort.

The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel truly welcome. While the WiFi connection in our tent was spotty, we had no trouble connecting in other parts of the camp.

Dinner was a delightful three-course meal, and the evening concluded with mesmerizing stargazing—a highlight of the experience.

Overall, it was an unforgettable stay, and we can’t wait to return for another magical night in the desert.

Never been to a desert camp. Was not sure what to expect, but this luxury tent was really nice. Big bed, air conditioning, shower, safe, tiny fridge, even a hairdryer...not quite the roughing it experience. There is a very nice outdoor pool. The staff were very nice and again, funny...something I was not expecting. Our one night stay was perfect for us. Read more
