Planning a desert adventure to Agafay?
Whether you’re riding camels, biking quads, or dining under the stars, what you wear and pack can make a big difference in comfort and experience. Here’s your complete guide to dressing smart and packing light for a day trip to the Agafay Desert from Marrakech.
👕 What to Wear: Desert Essentials
✅ 1. Lightweight, Breathable Clothing
Choose loose, long-sleeved clothing made of cotton or linen to stay cool and protect from the sun.
Avoid heavy jeans or synthetic fabrics — they trap heat.
✅ 2. Closed-Toe Shoes
Wear comfortable sneakers or hiking shoes, especially if you’re doing quad biking.
Sandals are not ideal for activities like camels or quads.
✅ 3. Hat or Scarf (Cheche)
A wide-brimmed hat or traditional Moroccan scarf (cheche) is great for sun protection — and photo style!
✅ 4. Sunglasses & Sunscreen
The desert sun is strong year-round. Protect your eyes and skin even during winter.
✅ 5. Light Jacket or Hoodie (for Evening)
Desert temperatures drop after sunset, especially in winter or spring. Bring a light jacket just in case.
🎒 What to Pack: Smart Add-ons
🧴 1. Sunscreen & Lip Balm
Desert air is dry. SPF 30+ and a moisturizing lip balm are a must.
💧 2. Reusable Water Bottle
Most tours offer water, but bringing your own bottle keeps you hydrated between stops.
📷 3. Camera / Phone with Power Bank
You’ll want to capture every moment — from camel rides to fire shows.
💵 4. Small Cash
Tips, souvenirs, or drinks aren’t always included. Have some dirhams handy.
🧻 5. Tissues or Wet Wipes
Helpful for freshening up before/after meals or activities.
👶 Bonus Tips for Families
- Bring a hat, water, and snacks for young children.
- Baby carriers are better than strollers (terrain is rocky).
- Let the organizer know if you need child-sized meals or special support.
✅ Final Thoughts
When visiting the Agafay Desert, comfort and preparation are key. Dress for sun, wind, and some dust — and you’ll be ready for the perfect mix of Moroccan adventure and magic.
