It is from the Agafay Desert 🌴, located about thirty kilometers from Marrakech 🇲🇦, that the Agafay-Marrakech Trail takes place. This is a favorite playground for national and international mountain bikers and trail runners 🌏. This trail and bike🚵♀️ celebration and eco-friendly ♻️ event welcomes both novice and professional athletes. Between late November and early December, the Berber (re)light shines on three different events with no less than five distances ⭐. Participants can choose from a trail of 11 km, 15 km or 23 km through the spectacular desert landscapes, or for the most daring, a 42 km! 💪 For experienced mountain bikers, the program includes routes of 30 km and 60 km! 🤯 The Trail Maroc association organizes this event with the intent of introducing or reintroducing this region of Marrakech, while also raising awareness about its preservation. The Agafay Desert, which spans several hundred hectares, is a unique environment of stones and rocks 🗻, featuring dunes
in white and ocher tones. Although it is not a desert in the strictest sense, its topography is reminiscent of the Sahara, offering a popular getaway close to the city 🗺️. Away from the urban heat, Agafay houses an enchanting seven-hectare oasis, where eucalyptus, olive trees, and vineyards 🍇 thrive, nourished by a nearby wadi. In December, the snow-capped peaks of Toubkal, surrounding Agafay, add a spectacular touch to the landscape, offering a striking contrast to the desert dunes. Bivouac accommodation sites ⛺ are also available for participants wishing to experience the authentic and immersive experience under the desert's starry sky 🌌.
