Celebrities Flock to Morocco’s Agafay Desert: A Luxury Oasis Near Marrakech

Over the years, the Agafay Desert, located near Marrakech, has gained a certain notoriety to the point of welcoming celebrities from around the world.
Spectacular landscapes, golden dunes and a peaceful atmosphere in a setting that combines modernity and tradition... Located less than an hour’s drive from Marrakech, the Agafay Desert offers a variety of activities for tourists, including camel rides to discover the vastness of the landscape, better quad races, and excursions suitable for all levels. "Many camps offer traditional Moroccan dinners in an enchanting setting and an unforgettable culinary experience under a starry sky, all while listening to local music played by the Bedouins," says Grazia. Couples have the possibility to spend a romantic night under Berber tents... which contain a modern and luxurious interior.
Many celebrities have fallen for the charm of the Agafay Desert. Recently, football stars played a charity friendly match as part of the Agafay Football 2024 event. Rachel Legrain-Trapani, a former Miss France, and Valentin Léonard, a former reality TV candidate, are also lovers of this destination. After getting married in total secrecy last June, the two lovebirds celebrated a second wedding on Sunday, October 20, in the desert, in the company of their loved ones and friends.
"Enjoy the silence and tranquility of the desert, and be amazed by the beauty of the stars in the clear sky, and don’t miss the sunrises and sunsets that are literally part of the experience," advises the author of the article, inviting any tourist to visit this must-see place during a stay in Morocco.
