An ending the agenda cannot give
Three days of sessions need a last evening that none of them can match. The group leaves the meeting room and arrives on the plateau at golden hour.
Your company only
No other group on the site. Speeches, awards and conversations stay inside the team, which matters when leadership has things to say.
Nothing for the planner to run
One contact handles transfers, menu, running order and hosting. Vehicles collect the group at the hotel and bring it back at a time agreed at the brief.
Four ways to bring a company to the plateau
30 to 300 participants
The seminar closing night
The final evening of a seminar, sales meeting or kick-off. Welcome drinks at golden hour, the long table at nightfall, music and fire to finish. The seminar gets its ending.
30 to 300 participants
The team evening with activities
Team building without forced games: a camel caravan at sunset, pottery with local artisans, a walk across the stone desert, then a whole mechoui shared at one table and stargazing with a professional astronomer. For full days with ATVs, electric bikes and workshops, see the team building page.

The awards and recognition dinner
Speeches, tributes and award moments are written into the running order with the planner. Private branding and a custom menu are available.
Midday
The desert lunch between sessions
For agendas with a full evening already planned: the same privatised setting for a long lunch, back in Marrakech for the afternoon.

End of sessions
Departure from the seminar hotel
Vehicles collect the group at its hotel or riad in Marrakech about ninety minutes before sunset.
Golden hour
Welcome on the plateau
Welcome drinks facing the Atlas while the light turns. Camels wait for those who want the ride at sunset.
Sunset
Hands and horizon
Pottery with local artisans, or a walk across the stone desert as the sky changes colour.
Nightfall
The long table
Mezze, a whole mechoui carved in front of the group, pastilla, desserts. Speeches and awards take place where the planner wants them in the running order.
After dinner
Music, fire and stars
Live Gnaoua music around the fire, then the sky: the plateau is dark enough to see the Milky Way.
Late evening
Return to Marrakech
The same vehicles bring everyone back to their door.

Questions from seminar planners
Where can a company hold a seminar evening in the Agafay desert?
The Long Table Marrakech privatises a site on the Agafay plateau, 40 minutes from Marrakech, for one company per evening. It hosts seminar closing nights, team evenings and awards dinners for 30 to 300 participants, all-inclusive.
How does the desert evening fit into a seminar programme?
Most groups hold their working sessions at a hotel or riad in Marrakech and book the desert as the anchor evening, usually the closing night. Transfers collect the group about ninety minutes before sunset and return at a time agreed at the brief.
What team building activities are possible in the Agafay?
More than the evening alone. By night: fire camp, camel ride at sunset, stargazing with a professional astronomer, a storyteller, belly dance, open-air cinema, local music and show. Around lunch: ATVs, electric bikes, cooking and pottery workshops, desert walks, backgammon and chess. At sunrise: yoga, pilates, electric bikes, a desert walk, massages, then brunch. The programme is composed with the planner for each group.
How many participants can you host?
From 30 to 300 participants at one long table setting. For executive committees and boards under 40, see our seminar and offsite page. Larger groups on request.
Is the site private enough for internal announcements?
Yes. One company per evening and a site closed to the public, on open ground with no neighbouring camp. The hosting team works with discretion.
Which months work best for a European company?
October to May. Days are mild and plateau evenings reliably clear while Northern Europe is dark and cold. Winter nights cool after dark, so fires and warm arrangements are part of the setup.
Can you handle dietary requirements?
Yes. Menus are composed per group with dietary requirements collected in advance, and the drinks are composed for the evening with the company.
How do we receive a proposal for a seminar evening?
Send us the dates, headcount and where the group is staying. You receive a bespoke proposal within 24 hours, all-inclusive: transfers, dinner, drinks, music, activities and hosting, calibrated to group size and date.
