The Experience

The driver picks you up from your Marrakech hotel at 5 PM and takes you out to the Agafay Desert, a rocky plateau landscape that sits on the first heights of the High Atlas. Once there, you get a helmet, goggles and a quad bike, then ride toward the Valley of Turtles and across the white arid terrain, stopping to take in the views of the surrounding mountains and the contrasts between the crevassed plateaus. The crew leader explains the route before you start, so you know what to expect.

Partway through the ride, you stop at a local family house to rest, take photos of the panoramic views, and have traditional Moroccan tea with cakes. After that comes a camel trek across the desert dunes as the sun drops toward the horizon—the moment most people come for. When you return from the ride, you sit under a nomadic Berber tent or in the open air and eat a typical Moroccan dinner while the stars come out. Moroccan tea, a bottle of soda and a bottle of water are included throughout the evening.

The activity ends after dinner, and the driver brings you back to your accommodation in Marrakech. The whole outing takes about five and a half hours from pickup to drop-off.
