This semi-lunar terrain provides a stunning setting for those who want to enjoy outdoor activities or a night in a tent camp under a blanket of stars. Certainly a different place, very close to Marrakech, but lost and far from civilization.

Entrance to the Bahia Palace (EI)
It was built at the end of the 19th century over a decade, with the intention of being the largest palace ever built (8,000 square meters), combining the palace and a set of gardens, by Si Moussa, grand vizier of the sultan, for his personal use and owes its name to one of his wives. It has a large number of rooms intended for his concubines.
Excursion to the Kik Plateau and Agafay Desert (EI)
Early morning departure to the Agafay Desert via the Kik Plateau. The rugged highlands of the Kik Plateau are a popular destination for hiking in the High Atlas Mountains, with numerous trails leading from nearby Berber villages such as Asni, Moulay Brahim and Ourigane, easily accessible from Marrakech. Renowned for its unique limestone topography, the plateau is a picturesque place, covered in alpine wildflowers and wheat fields, offering magnificent views of the surrounding peaks, including Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa. Although called a desert, the traveller should note that the Agafay Desert does not have a sand dune landscape like in the Sahara, but rather a barren desert plateau stretching for several kilometres. This semi-lunar terrain provides a stunning setting for those who want to enjoy outdoor activities. Certainly a different place, very close to the city of Marrakech, but lost and far from civilization. In the afternoon, return to Marrakech.
