Inara Desert Camp, Agafay

4.8 (25 reviews) · Comfort
Desert experience offering glamping tents, Atlas Mountain views, and traditional cuisine

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.

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

I'm thrilled we chose the closer desert experience with the much shorter camel ride. Perfect for us.

This was our favorite part of the trip. The camp feels understated and luxurious, with lots of charming decor and very welcoming staff. The food was also excellent — we really enjoyed the meatballs for lunch and the fish for dinner. The activities were very easy to set up — we did quads, camels, and a last minute e bike trip which offered incredible views of the desert terrain. The sunset and sunrise from the tents are excellent. Read more
