Marrakech to Lalla Takerkoust by road

The drive is short and flat. You leave Marrakech to the southwest, cross open farmland and reach the lake at the foot of the Atlas foothills. There are no passes and no mountain bends, so it suits anyone who gets carsick.

Lodges and beach clubs sit around the shore, some on dirt tracks above the water. Send the map pin with your booking so the driver goes straight to the right gate.

What to do at the lake

Most people come for a long lunch by the water with the mountains behind. Some clubs rent kayaks and run jet-ski or quad outings; book those with the club, not with us.

The lake is a reservoir behind a dam on the N'Fis river, built between 1929 and 1935. It kept running normally after the September 2023 earthquake.

Lalla Takerkoust Lake from 550 MAD per car

The price is fixed before you travel. The office confirms it in writing.

Water levels

The lake rises and falls with rainfall, and in dry years the shoreline drops a long way. If you book a lakeside lunch for the view, ask the restaurant how the water looks that month before you go.

Combining the lake with Agafay

The Agafay camps are close by, so many guests have lunch at the lake and go on to a camp for sunset. Tell the office both stops when you book and you get one written price for the day.

For a half day with the driver waiting at the lake, ask about driver hire: 900 MAD for a half day. The office checks the timings with you before it confirms.

Best time to go

Spring and autumn are the most comfortable for lunch outside. Summer days are hot on the plain, so go early or late. In winter the snow on the High Atlas behind the lake is at its clearest after rain, and lunch in the sun by the water is still pleasant.

Good to know

  • The dam, finished in 1935, supplies drinking water, irrigation and power for the Marrakech area.
  • The lake lies close to the Agafay desert, and many visitors combine the two.
  • It is 36 km from the medina, about 40 min by road.

The drive

Southwest out of the city across open farmland to the lake under the Atlas foothills.

Where the driver stops

At your lodge, restaurant or beach club by the lake. Some sit on tracks above the shore; send the map pin.

Stops on the way

Ask for a photo stop or lunch on the way when you book. Short stops are free; a longer detour is added to the written price.
