Step-by-step itinerary

Quad biking in Agafay Desert

• Arrive at unique oasis starting point
• Discover Agafay Desert hills and dunes
• Enjoy quad biking experience
• Receive snack and excellent service

The experience

The ride starts at an oasis just below the Atlas Mountains, a setup the operator describes as unique. You'll operate the quad bike yourself through terrain that resembles dunes but sits in the Agafay Desert proper, one of the best spots around Marrakech for this kind of riding. The four-hour experience is built around small groups: keeping numbers at four people maximum means the guide can focus on each rider and the pace stays manageable.

What separates this activity from others in the area is the quality of the ATVs themselves and the service around them. You get a professional guide, a helmet and goggles, and snacks during the ride. Hotel pickup and drop-off (or the closest point accessible by vehicle) handles the logistics before and after, so you're not arranging transport into the desert on your own.

What’s included

• Use of a quad bike, helmet and goggles.
• professional guide.
