Marrakech experiences

Agafay desert night pass: pool, sunset, dinner and entertainment

The night pass is the Agafay at its best: the pool and the hills in the soft light of the late afternoon, the sunset over the desert, then dinner at the camp with music and entertainment under the stars, from 3:00 pm to 11:00 pm, before the drive back to Marrakech.

How it works

  1. Late afternoon by the pool

    The pass starts at 3:00 pm, with time for the pool and the view while the light softens over the hills.

  2. Sunset

    The sun sets behind the hills of the Agafay. It is the moment most guests remember, and the best time for photographs.

  3. Dinner

    Dinner is served at the camp, usually a Moroccan menu, around a fire or under a tent depending on the season.

  4. Entertainment

    The evening continues with live music and entertainment at the camp until 11:00 pm, then the drive back to Marrakech under the stars.

About this activity

The Agafay desert changes completely at the end of the day. The bare hills turn gold, then pink, then the first lights of the camps appear and the sky fills with stars that you never see from Marrakech. The night pass is built around that transition.

You arrive while there is still light for the pool and the view. The sunset over the hills is followed by dinner at the camp, served around a fire or under a tent depending on the season, and by live music and entertainment that carry the evening until it is time to drive back.

We choose the camp for your group and the occasion, from a quiet evening for two to a birthday dinner for twenty, and we arrange the transfer so that the evening ends at your door, villa, riad or hotel.

Questions about the agafay night pass

What time does the night pass start and end?

The night pass runs from 3:00 pm to 11:00 pm: pool and sunset first, then dinner and the entertainment.

Is the night pass suitable for children?

Yes for families with older children. Tell us their ages when you enquire and we choose a camp and timing that suit them.

Can we combine the day pass and the night pass?

Yes. Together they give you a full day and evening in the desert, with lunch, dinner and the pool in between.
