Caravan Agafay: A Luxurious Wilderness Experience

Caravan Agafay, managed by the hospitality group Habitas, officially opens in Morocco’s stunning Atlas Mountains on Oct. 1. While Marrakesh is renowned for housing some of the best hotels in North Africa, those seeking an extraordinary escape in nature should consider this brand-new luxury camp, designed to provide an out-of-the-ordinary experience.

Oliver Ripley, co-founder and CEO of Habitas, emphasized, “Morocco is a very special country… Caravan Agafay is our take on a desert retreat, where guests can embrace a sense of discovery and exploration through enriching programming that incorporates local culture and authentically connects guests with the local community.”
