We had an amazing stay at We Agafay. The tent/rooms are amazing, food was delicious. The activities we did were also very good value for money and the views are mesmerising. Yassine and Lahcen were very hospitable the whole time. Would highly recommend for either a couple or family

A small paradise in the desert. Agafay truly surprised our family in the best possible way. The tent house was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed. The whole territory was stunning and incredibly peaceful. The staff were very friendly and helpful with anything we needed.
