Agafay isn't a dune desert but a mineral plateau, made of stone hills and ochre earth that take on warm tones at the end of the day. Our partner camp offers nights in a lodge here, halfway between a hotel and a bivouac.
Arrival from three in the afternoon, pool open all day. Time slows quickly: reading by the pool, a walk around the camp, sunset over the plateau. Dinner in the evening in the shared room or on the terrace, then a night of near-total silence, with temperatures dropping sharply even in summer. The lodges offer fine bedding, a private bathroom and heating or air conditioning depending on the season.
Good to know: free for children under 3. Check-in is from 3pm and check-out at 11am.
Cancellation: this lodge night does not follow the usual terms. A deposit is required to confirm the booking, and no refund is given for a no-show or an early departure.

« Petit retour du désert d'Agafay : c'était top, du début à la fin. L'accueil au top, on a super bien mangé et le cadre est magnifique. Merci encore, on repassera par vous, c'est sûr. »
