Team Building
in the Agafay Desert

A day on the plateau instead of a workshop in a hotel basement. Quads and electric bikes at midday, a cooking workshop in the afternoon, camels at sunset, one table at night, and the whole site to yourselves.

The Long Table Marrakech organises team building days and evenings in the Agafay desert, 40 minutes from Marrakech, for 30 to 300 participants: ATVs, electric bikes, cooking and pottery workshops, desert walks, camel ride at sunset, dinner under the stars with a professional astronomer. One company at a time, all-inclusive, private transfers included.

Team building that nobody has to endure

Activities the place offers naturally

Quads across the stone plateau, electric bikes, a cooking workshop, pottery with local artisans, backgammon in the shade, a camel caravan at sunset. Nobody builds a raft or wears a name badge.

The whole site, one company

The plateau is reserved for your team for the day or the evening. No other group on the quads, at the workshop or at the next table. What is said around the fire stays inside the company.

One proposal, one contact

Transfers, activities, meals, drinks, music, the astronomer and the hosting team are in one proposal. The planner chooses the moments; the team handles everything on the ground.

Four ways to build a team on the plateau

Midday to the stars

The activity afternoon and the evening

Quads and electric bikes at midday, lunch at the long table, a cooking or pottery workshop in the afternoon, the camel caravan at sunset, dinner under the stars and the astronomer to finish. The full team building day.

Sunrise to late morning

The sunrise session

Yoga or pilates as the sun comes up, a walk across the desert or electric bikes, massages, then brunch. The calm version, before the day's sessions start back in Marrakech.

Between two sessions

The desert lunch with workshops

A long lunch on the plateau with a cooking workshop, pottery, backgammon and chess, then back to Marrakech for the afternoon. For agendas with the evening already taken.

Evening only

The team evening

Camels at sunset, fire camp, dinner, live music and the astronomer. The team building evening as the closing night of a seminar.

A full team building day, hour by hour

Late morning
Departure from Marrakech
Private vehicles collect the team at the hotel. Forty minutes later the road ends on the plateau.
Midday
Quads and electric bikes
Across the stone desert in small groups, with the Atlas on the horizon. Those who prefer walk the plateau.
Lunch
The long table at midday
Mezze, grilled dishes, salads and desserts in the shade, with the day's first stories already circulating.
Afternoon
Workshops and games
A cooking workshop or pottery with local artisans, backgammon and chess for the others. The pace drops on purpose.
Sunset
The camel caravan
The team rides out as the light turns copper on the stone. Phones come out; nobody is asked to put them away.
Nightfall
Dinner under the stars
A whole mechoui carved in front of the group, pastilla, desserts. Speeches and awards, if any, take place here.
After dinner
Fire camp and the astronomer
Live music around the fire, then the sky with a professional astronomer. The plateau is dark enough to see the Milky Way.
Late evening
Return to Marrakech
The same vehicles bring the team back to the hotel.

Questions about team building in the Agafay

What team building activities are available in the Agafay desert?

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. By night: fire camp, camel ride at sunset, stargazing with a professional astronomer, a storyteller, belly dance, open-air cinema, local music and show. The programme is composed with the planner.

How many participants can a team building day host?

From 30 to 300 participants. Activities run in small groups in rotation, so a team of 150 can ride quads, cook and walk the desert in the same afternoon.

Can the team building be combined with a seminar in Marrakech?

Yes, and it usually is. Working sessions stay at the hotel or riad in Marrakech; the desert hosts a half-day, an afternoon and evening, or the closing night. Transfers are timed around the agenda.

Is a half-day possible?

Yes. The sunrise session (yoga, pilates, walk, massages, brunch) and the desert lunch with workshops are both half-day formats, with the team back in Marrakech for the afternoon.

Is the site shared with other companies?

No. One company at a time, on a site closed to the public, with no neighbouring camp. Announcements and conversations stay inside the team.

How are dietary requirements handled?

Menus are composed per group with requirements collected in advance, and the drinks are composed for the day and the evening with the company.

How do we receive a proposal for a team building day?

Send us the headcount, dates and format. You receive a bespoke proposal within 24 hours, all-inclusive: transfers, activities, meals, drinks, music, the astronomer and hosting, calibrated to headcount, format and date.

Which months work best?

October to May for mild days and clear nights. Summer formats shift to sunrise and evening, when the heat drops.
