Agafay Desert Dinner, Camel Ride & Quad Biking from Marrakech

Two people share one quad bike, and the camel ride happens at sunset.

This six-hour evening activity from Marrakech combines a camel ride or quad bike ride across the Agafay Desert dunes at sunset, a traditional Moroccan dinner with live music and dance, and a visit to an Argan Oil Women's Cooperative. Pickup and drop-off from Marrakech are included; you choose between a camel ride or a quad bike (two riders per bike), and coffee or tea rounds out the meal.

The Experience

What do you actually do when you book this? You get picked up from your Marrakech hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle and driven to the Agafay Desert, where the day's main event unfolds as the light starts to change. The camel ride or quad bike experience happens at sunset—the moment the desert landscape shifts color—so you're not just moving across the dunes, you're moving through the hour when the light is doing something worth watching. If you choose the quad bike, two people share one bike, which changes the rhythm of the ride and the cost.

After the ride comes dinner under the stars on a traditional spread of Moroccan dishes. The meal includes live music and dance performances, so you're not sitting in silence on a blanket in the sand—there's something happening around you. Before or after dinner, depending on the day's flow, you visit an Argan Oil Women's Cooperative to see how the oil is actually made and to meet the women who do the work. Coffee or tea comes with the meal. The whole thing runs about six hours from pickup to drop-off.

The two purchase options let you decide what matters most: one includes both the camel ride and the quad bike experience, while the other is the dinner show with pickup alone. If you want the full evening with both activities, you're booking the first option. If you're mainly after the dinner and the performances, the second option gets you there without the desert ride. Either way, a guide speaks your language—the operator offers live guides in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and more.

Top questions

Can I do both the camel ride and the quad bike, or do I have to choose one?

The camel ride and quad bike are separate options you select at checkout. The first purchase option includes both activities; the second is dinner and pickup only. If you want both the camel ride and the quad bike in one evening, book the first option.

What happens at the Argan Oil Women's Cooperative?

You visit the cooperative to watch traditional oil-making techniques and meet the artisans who produce the oil. It's part of the evening's itinerary and gives you a look at how the work is actually done by hand.

Is the sunset camel ride guaranteed, or does it depend on the time of year?

The camel ride is timed to happen at sunset, so the timing shifts with the season. The operator includes it in the activity, and your guide will coordinate the ride for when the light is changing across the desert.

How many people ride together on a quad bike?

Two people share one quad bike. If you're booking for two, you'll ride together on the same bike; larger groups will have multiple bikes.

What's included in the dinner?

The dinner includes a selection of traditional Moroccan dishes, coffee or tea, and live music and dance performances. It's served under the stars in the desert.

Do I need to arrange my own way to the desert, or is transport included?

Pickup and drop-off from your Marrakech accommodation are included in the activity. You travel in an air-conditioned vehicle, so you don't need to arrange your own transport.
