A Story of Two Homelands: Menara and Agafay.
The Menara Gardens and the Agafay Desert are two totally different yet equally interesting places to visit when it comes to watching birds. Menara Gardens is an ancient olive grove with a great basin in the middle. It is a perfect water bird and resident habitat. The green trees offer an excellent habitat and a resting and feeding place to the birds.
The gardens are serene and you can view without any interruption. The Agafay Desert is only a short drive away, and it is a stark contrast. The same moon-like appearance is inhabited by another group of birds, most of which have adapted to the tough arid conditions. In this case, you could even see raptors or desert creatures. This two-part tour will provide you with an overview of the birds around Marrakech. These two different landscapes are best viewed in our Bird Watching at Menara Gardens & Agafay tour. It fits perfectly into our luxury morocco tours that focus on niche interests and a need to experience something authentic.
Bird Watching at Menara Gardens & Agafay Itinerary
Morning: Garden of Moraza and Water Birds.
Your tour starts in the morning when it is a good time to see the birds. You are met by our professional guide in the middle of Marrakech. We drive comfortably and in a short distance to the Menara Gardens. It is soft and lovely in the early morning light. It is a good season to take photographs and to observe. The gardens are peaceful and tranquil with very little people.
Your experienced hostess takes you on a light stroll through the large olive grove. They observe carefully and can see birds that an ordinary visitor cannot notice. They also have good-quality binoculars and a field guide that you can use. You will be taught to name the various species using their calls, songs and flight patterns. It is centered on slow and respectful observation. This is one of the main attractions of Bird Watching at Menara Gardens and Agafay.
One of the attractions is the large central basin. You may find here several water-fowl, including ducks and moorhens. Your guide will also highlight resident species that inhabit the olive trees such as sparrows, finches and blackbirds. The gardens also have a historical background and are essential as a source of water, which can also be included in the tour. This mentor guided experience is a big plus to your visit. It is an ideal introduction to your Moroccan travelling experience.
Late Morning: travel to the Agafay desert.
We comfortably drive and after a relaxing visit to your Menara Gardens, we visit the Agafay Desert. We move out of the city and the landscape becomes very different. The green oases are replaced by wide rocky land. Here another form of bird watching starts. The atmosphere is drier and the sun is more radiant, however, the landscape is genuinely splendid.
When you arrive, your guide gives you a leisurely walk around the rocky terrain. In this case, it is difficult to notice highly camouflaged birds in their habitat. Within the desert, you may be fortunate to find a number of species that have adapted to the desert. These might be larks, or wheatears, or some grand falcon flying by. Your guide is not only aware of the best places to see those birds, but they can also tell you how they behave and adapt. The Agafay Desert has a very interesting ecosystem. This section of the tour is an excellent opportunity to watch another face of nature in the Moroccan country.
It is a patient, observational experience. The silence of the desert gives you a chance to concentrate on the minor details and the fine movements of the birds. That is why the Bird Watching at Menara Gardens and Agafay tour is so satisfying. It is an actual nature retreat. This type of specialized tour is a great option in our morocco all inclusive packages to those with certain interests.
Afternoon: A Berber Picnic, and Still Observation.
At midday we take a rest. We locate a good and scenic place to have a Berber picnic lunch. The picnic is a tasty and non-complicated meal that usually includes fresh bread, olives, salad and other local snacks. We also have a thermos of cool Moroccan mint tea. It is a time to relax and recharge yet remain in the quiet environment.
Lunch would be an opportunity to have your guide tell you more about the history and geology of the area. You may ask questions about the birds you have seen, and the hardships they are going through in the desert. The discussion is both light and informative. You can also look after birds even when you are having lunch. You may see a bird of prey flying over the place, in search of its supper. This observation is a major component which is observed constantly.
You have some leisure time after lunch to continue the observation or just sit back and see how big the desert is. The calmness of the Agafay Desert is actually curative. Your guide will be there to assist you in finding any late species. After this, our driver drives you back to your accommodation in Marrakech, leaving you with peace in your mind and a better understanding of the natural world in Morocco. And this is how to conclude an ecological Moroccan travel experience. Even our all-inclusive wedding morocco package includes this type of natural experience with nature as a serene outing that couples and their guests enjoy.
