About Caravan by Our Habitas Agafay
Just a fifteen-minute drive from the vibrant center of Marrakech, you can leave the hustle and bustle of the medina behind. Caravan by Our Habitas Agafay is located deep in the Agafay Desert, a vast, stony landscape affectionately known by many as the ‘desert of Marrakech’. Here, rolling rocky dunes stretch to the horizon, with the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas Mountains providing a breathtaking backdrop on clear days.
Caravan is not a traditional hotel, but a nomadic oasis—a collection of tents and lodges thoughtfully placed in harmony with the natural terrain. The philosophy of Our Habitas revolves around connection—with nature, with the local Berber culture, and with each other. You will stay here in a relaxed and mindful manner, with all the comfort you can expect from a special accommodation. The surroundings are just as important as the stay itself. The tranquility and rugged landscape complete the experience.

Your Stay
Scattered across the rolling desert landscape, you will find the tents and lodges of Caravan, each with its own character and designed with nature in mind. The interior is understated and warm, with natural materials and local artisan accents that honor Berber culture. Wherever you stay, the expansive views of the rocky dunes and the Atlas Mountains are never far away. In the evening, when the desert cools and the starry sky becomes exceptionally clear, you truly experience the tranquility of this place.
Accommodation
Caravan offers various categories of accommodations, so you can choose what best suits your journey. The Atlas Lodges invite you to immerse yourself in the rolling desert landscape and evoke a sense of carefree wonder.
The Dune Lodges are situated slightly higher and offer a panoramic view of the valley, allowing you to experience the natural elements of Agafay up close.
The Desert Lodges overlook the vast desert panorama and serve as a serene base. For those seeking adventure, there are the cozy
Explorer Tents – simpler in design but with the same connection to the surroundings that makes Caravan so special. All accommodations are tastefully and thoughtfully furnished, respecting the silence and beauty of the desert.
Restaurants
In the heart of Caravan, you will find the Olivar restaurant, offering views over the rocky dunes of Agafay. Here, you can gather around the table to share stories and discover new flavors. The cuisine is rooted in the rich Moroccan culinary tradition, with influences from the Berbers, the Moors, and diverse cuisines from the Middle East and Africa that have shaped the region over centuries. Chef Youssef Erraji Chahid, born and raised in Morocco, returned home after years abroad to share his creative and versatile cuisine with guests. The dishes are prepared with the freshest, seasonal ingredients from nearby farms, such as citrus fruits, grapes, and dates. The menu changes with the seasons.
Wellness and Spa
Well-being runs through your stay at Caravan. The wellness experience is inspired by the rich Moroccan culture, where local ingredients and centuries-old traditions come together in restorative treatments and rituals. Whether it’s how you eat, sleep, move, or connect: everything is designed to bring body and mind to rest. As a result, you will return home feeling refreshed and relaxed.
Swimming pool
Staying in the desert does not mean you have to miss out on refreshment. At the Caravan pool, you can relax with the vast desert landscape in front of you. It is a place to cool down after a morning full of adventure, read a book under the Moroccan sun, or simply enjoy the silence and the space around you.
Activities
The activities at Caravan are rooted in play, imagination, and connection, with Berber traditions serving as inspiration. You can enjoy a camel ride through the desert, intimate live music and local rituals, or spend the evening stargazing under an unspoiled desert sky. The vast landscape of Agafay provides the perfect backdrop for adventure, discovery, and moments of pure serenity.
Child-friendly
Even with the family, Caravan is a special destination. The vast desert invites children to explore and play, and the terrain offers plenty of space to move freely. Unique family experiences, with desert activities and stargazing, make a stay unforgettable for both young and old. It is a place where children naturally encounter Moroccan culture and the rhythm of the desert.
Sustainability
Sustainability is not a secondary concern at Caravan, but the guiding principle. The tents and lodges are positioned with a light footprint on the landscape, ensuring that nature remains as intact as possible. Our Habitas also actively supports the local community and works closely with surrounding farms and artisans. In this way, your stay contributes to the preservation of both the environment and the livelihoods of the people who live there.
