Our Agafay desert dinner from Marrakech guide: the drive for an evening dinner
This Agafay desert dinner from Marrakech guide answers the most practical question when planning your evening: how does the trip work on a weeknight, leaving from your hotel or riad downtown?
The camp is about a 40-minute drive away.
Your driver picks you up directly at your Marrakech address around 6 PM, arriving at the camp before sunset.
The return trip happens after the dinner show, typically around 10-10:30 PM, dropping you back at your accommodation's door.

Why not drive yourself at night
The road is paved for most of the trip, but the final stretch to some camps runs on dirt track.
At night, without knowing the terrain, that's the trickiest part of the journey — and finding a taxi to head back late from the desert can be difficult.
Organized transport (100 MAD per person, round trip) removes that problem entirely: no negotiating a driver on site, no worrying about driving after a glass of wine or tea.
What the evening includes once you're there
Dinner is served under a caidal tent or under the open sky depending on the weather: Harira, briouates, tagine or couscous depending on the day, then dessert.
Entertainment (Gnaoua music, dance, fire breather) carries the evening, which winds down around the central campfire.
For the full program and entertainment lineup, our dinner show guide breaks down every part of the evening.
Price and what's covered in the trip
Dinner is 550 MAD per adult (500 MAD for a child aged 3-12), with transport available as an add-on at 100 MAD per person for the full round trip from your hotel in Marrakech.

Last tips before booking
Bring a jacket even after a hot day: the desert cools down fast once night falls.
If you have dietary restrictions, mention them when booking.
For a couple wanting a secluded table rather than a group setting, mention that too — our romantic dinner is built specifically for that format.
