You’ll ride a quad bike through Marrakech’s iconic palm grove, stop for mint tea with locals in a Berber home, and see a different side of the city—all with hotel pickup included.
The first thing I noticed stepping out of the van was the dry, earthy scent of the Palmeraie. Our guide, Youssef, handed us helmets and goggles—he joked about the dust, but he wasn’t kidding. Once I got on the quad bike, it took a minute to get used to the throttle, but after that? Pure fun. We zipped past tall palms and little patches of wildflowers that somehow survive out here. The sun felt warm but not too harsh in the late morning; perfect riding weather.
Halfway through, we stopped at a small Berber house tucked between rows of date palms. The family there poured us mint tea—super sweet and hot, just how locals like it. I could hear chickens clucking somewhere behind the house while we chatted with our guide about life in Marrakech. After a quick break, we jumped back on the quads for another round through sandy trails before heading back to where we started. The whole ride lasted about two hours, but honestly, it flew by.
