Caravan by Habitas Agafay
Adventurous glamping meets Berber-inspired design. High-energy community programming, communal pool scene, lively bar with hibiscus cocktails — this is a sociable, outdoorsy crowd. Design is artisanal and warm: oversized Berber rugs, Moroccan lanterns, fine linens, all sourced from local artisans and Marrakech souks.
Bring a torch — night-time lighting outside the tents is minimal, just lanterns and fire pits
Why It Matters
One of the few proper desert glamping camps operating within striking distance of Marrakech, run by the globally respected Our Habitas brand. Rates include breakfast and a full daily activity programme. The setting — rocky dunes, Atlas Mountain views, genuine off-grid feel — is hard to replicate.
Forty solar-powered Berber tents sit in the rocky Agafay Desert, 45 minutes from Marrakech. The landscape is genuinely moon-like — stony, wide open, dramatic — with the snow-capped Atlas Mountains on the horizon. This is an adventure-first camp that runs a full daily programme of activities, so don't come expecting a quiet retreat. Come expecting camels at breakfast, yoga under a geodesic dome, cocktails at sunset, and a sky full of stars after dark.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Atlas Lodge
The largest option on property at 60 sqm — nearly three times the size of the Explorer Tent. Sliding glass doors open directly onto a large private outdoor deck with views over the oasis landscape. En-suite bathroom. Best for those wanting maximum space and the most dramatic indoor-outdoor connection.
King · 60 sqm
Desert Lodge
Same footprint as the Dune Lodge, but with a private stone terrace that faces out over the open desert — ideal for stargazing after dark. Has an en-suite bathroom. The stone terrace is the real sell here.
King · 32 sqm
Dune Lodge
More substantial construction than the Explorer Tent, with sweeping valley views and natural wooden design features. Has an eco-bathroom. The extra 10 sqm over the Explorer Tent is noticeable — better for those wanting a bit more room to breathe.
King · 32 sqm
Explorer Tent
The entry-level option and still genuinely charming. Rustic canvas construction with an outdoor Berber lounge area and views stretching to the Atlas Mountains. Solar-powered lighting, no television. Furniture and decorative pieces sourced from local artisans and the Marrakech souks.
