Best hotels in Agafay Desert

If you were to dream up the perfect desert camp, it might look something a little like The White Camel. A string of tented suites, perched along an apricot ridge in the Agafay Desert, the snow-capped Atlas Mountains are behind you and the rolling hills of the desert laid out before you. Whether you'd prefer to recline beside the pool all day or ride camel-back across the lunar-scape, you'll have more than a few 'pinch me' moments. Then, after a day with as much or as little activity as you choose, sip cocktails as the sun dips below the horizon and fall asleep in your cloud-like bed to the sound of sweet, sweet silence.

Dreamt up by a connoisseur of luxury desert camps, every detail at Inara is immaculately executed, from the desert-chic decor to private, candlelit dining tents, and a fabulous array of adventurous activities. Whether you're trundling along in a dune buggy or swaying camelback across the rocky landscape, starkly beautiful views occupy every direction - and it's more than worth an early wake-up to catch the sunrise, slowly illuminating the distant Atlas Mountains. The camp truly checks every box for an idyllic escape to the Agafay Desert, and our top tip is to simply soak in the atmosphere over a cup of mint tea.
