Golden-hour ride
Agafay Sunset Buggy Tour From Marrakech
The same rocky Agafay desert as the standard tour, timed so you're out on the tracks as the sun goes down.
Overview
What the sunset buggy tour is
This tour takes the core ride from the Agafay desert buggy tour and times it for late afternoon, so the desert is at its most photogenic and the heat has eased. Long shadows and warm light make the rocky hills look completely different from midday.
It focuses on the ride and the light. If you want to stay on for a meal and entertainment afterwards, the Agafay sunset buggy & dinner show adds a dinner show to the same sunset timing.
Why choose the sunset timing
- Late-afternoon light is the best of the day for photos across the rocky terrain.
- Cooler temperatures make the ride more comfortable than the middle of the day.
- It pairs naturally with an evening: see the Agafay sunset buggy & dinner show to add a dinner show, or the private Agafay sunset buggy for a private sunset ride.
Who the sunset ride suits
Couples and photographers, and anyone who prefers to ride when it's cooler and the light is soft. If you'd rather have the sunset entirely to your own group, the private Agafay sunset buggy is the private version; for the fullest evening, the Agafay buggy, sunset, camel & dinner show adds a camel ride and dinner show.
