Forty minutes south of Marrakech, where the High Atlas recedes into a lunar plateau of pale rock and scrubby acacia, the Agafay Desert offers a landscape that is less sand dune than raw geology — and it is precisely this arid strangeness that Habitas chose as the setting for Caravan by Habitas Agafay. The camp deploys canvas tents and geodesic dome structures across terraced ground held together by dry-stone retaining walls, the whole compound sitting low enough in the terrain that it seems to grow from it rather than interrupt it. Individual tent pavilions are separated by planted berms and native shrub, giving each unit a degree of seclusion that belies the social energy of the central facilities. Inside, the design draws a clear line between Moroccan craft tradition and contemporary restraint. Tent interiors layer hand-knotted Beni Ourain rugs in monochrome geometric patterns over wide-plank timber floors, while brass wall sconces and small brass table lamps warm the canvas ceiling above tadelakt-finished headboard panels in terracotta pink. Rattan wardrobe panels, wirework Bertoia-style side chairs, and carved zellige-trimmed mirrors introduce local material culture without tipping into pastiche. The open-sided dining pavilion above the pool terrace is roofed in split-reed cane with oversized woven raffia pendant lights, green-lacquered rattan chairs pulled up to plain timber tables — a room that feels more like a souk workshop than a hotel restaurant, which is entirely the point.
