DAY TRIP: MARRAKECH – AGAFAY DESERT
Depart from your Riad or hotel for a fascinating one-day tour to explore the enchanting Marrakech semi-desert region. You will depart for Lake Takerkoust, a beautiful man-made lake on the edge of the Agafay desert, where you will discover a fascinating mix of history and natural beauty. Constructed between 1929 and 1935 during the French protectorate, Takerkoust Lake was intended to provide electricity to Marrakech and nearby towns while irrigating the agricultural fields of El Haouz.
The construction of Takerkoust Lake was carefully done to blend seamlessly with the breathtaking surroundings and enhance the region’s appeal. When you arrive, the splendor of the majestic Atlas Mountains reflected in the serene waters of the lake will amaze you. The harmonious fusion of mountains and lake is a testament to the thoughtful planning and appreciation of the area’s natural splendor.
Lake Takerkoust, also known as Lalla Takerkoust, has contributed significantly to the allure of this picturesque part of Morocco. Its tranquil atmosphere, combined with the striking backdrop of the Atlas Mountains, creates an idyllic setting for relaxation and exploration. Visitors are captivated by the serene atmosphere and the opportunity to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the surroundings.
As you soak up the tranquil atmosphere of Takerkoust Lake, take a moment to enjoy the remarkable feat of engineering that has not only provided essential resources but also contributed to the region’s appeal. The contrast between the man-made lake and the rugged landscape of the Agafay Desert offers a unique and fascinating experience.
Whether you are looking for a peaceful retreat, a picturesque backdrop for photography or an escape into nature, Takerkoust Lake offers an oasis of tranquility and beauty. Let the calm waters and majestic mountains enchant your senses as you explore this remarkable gem in Marrakech’s semi-desert region.
