Subjects : Rocky desert panorama, Dromedaries. Some (few) species of birdlife. Starry sky. This place has a characteristic: it seems to be on Mars, an extraterrestrial-like landscape. In spring you can witness the flowering of the desert with some species of flora that blooms just a few drops of rain falls in the desert.

Recommended equipment : Wide angle and an all-rounder zoom. Personally I felt good with the 70-200mm. Better tropicalized equipment, a lot of dust in windy weather.

Best months : All year round. It is a rocky desert very close to Marrakech that allows a 'night' in a tent under the stars.

How to get there : From Marrakech about 1 hour by road. Poorly signposted, pay attention to the deviation from the main road towards Agafay. The roads in the desert are rocky dirt tracks and some very narrow paved roads. You can, however, with a little attention, reach the tented camps comfortably with any car.

Visits : Free admission. Stays in tented camps have a fairly high cost (200-300 euros for one night).
