Scarabeo

Desert Camp

Agafay Desert, Morocco

Tented desert chic

In the small rocky desert of Agafay, Scarabeo Camp affords stunning 360° views of the region’s barren beauty and beyond to the snow-capped Atlas mountains. The collection of white tents sits elegantly amidst the grandeur of its unending landscape and despite being just 45 minutes’ drive from Marrakech, it feels a world away.

Scarabeo offers just 15 tented rooms and each consists of a nomad tent of thick white cotton with comfortable beds, African woven matting and Berber rugs. Interesting pieces brought back from travels abroad and atmospheric Moroccan lanterns deliver the ambience of an expedition from another time. You can recline in a traditional Moroccan lounge strewn with knotted cushions whilst you silently savour the mystical desert landscape in front of your tent. Feasting on...

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.
