Agafay Desert Weather: Forecast for the Week and What to Wear
Updated November 6, 2026 · By the Sun Sky Camp team
The weather in the Agafay Desert comes down to two moments: the sun and heat of the afternoon, and the cool of the evening once the sun has set. Most of our Agafay tours run from the afternoon into the evening, so both matter.
Below you find the forecast for the Agafay plateau for the coming days, day by day, with the early-evening temperature. Each day has a link to book our quad, camel ride and dinner show (from €25) on that date. Under the forecast, we explain what the weather means for each tour and what to wear.

Agafay weather forecast for the coming days
The forecast is for the Agafay plateau, 40 to 60 minutes from Marrakech. For each day: the high and the low, the temperature in the early evening (the time of the sunset camel rides and dinners), rain and wind.
What the weather means for each tour
- Quad, camel ride and dinner show, from €25: about 7 hours, from the afternoon to the end of the dinner show. You ride the quad in the afternoon sun, then the camel ride at sunset and dinner in the evening: look at both the high and the evening temperature.
- Sunset camel ride, dinner and show, from €18: about 4 hours, back in Marrakech at about 10 PM. It is mostly an evening outing, so the evening temperature is the one to check.
- Sunset dinner and fire show, from €10: the evening at the camp, with dinner and the fire show after sunset. Here too, the evening temperature matters most.
- Night at the desert camp, from €150: from the afternoon to breakfast, with the sunrise over the hills. The low of the night is the number to check before you pack.
- Pool day, from €15: a daytime outing, back in Marrakech at 5 PM. The high of the day tells you how welcome the pool will be.
Agafay weather season by season
- Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November): warm days and mild evenings, the most comfortable time for quad and camel rides.
- Summer (June to August): very hot during the day. Choose an evening tour or a pool day, and drink plenty of water.
- Winter (December to February): sunny days, clear skies and snow on the Atlas, but the desert gets cold after sunset. Bring a warm jacket for dinner outside.

What to wear for the Agafay weather
- A warm layer or a jacket for the evening: the desert cools quickly after sunset, especially from October to April.
- Sunglasses, sun cream and a scarf against the dust; a hat for the pool day, as there is little natural shade in the desert.
- Closed shoes for the quad: trainers are fine, avoid sandals.
- Long trousers are more comfortable on the quad.
