Agafay Desert Quad Biking Adventure – Half Day from Marrakech

Leave the busy streets of Marrakech behind and set off on an unforgettable quad adventure across the stunning landscapes of the Agafay Desert — a rocky, moon-like terrain located less than an hour from the city.

Your driver will pick you up from your hotel or riad for a comfortable transfer to the Agafay base camp, where your adventure begins. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a brief safety introduction and all the necessary equipment (helmet, goggles, and scarf).

After a short test ride, jump on your automatic quad bike and follow your experienced local guide through desert trails, dry rivers, and rocky plateaus with breathtaking views of the Atlas Mountains in the distance.

Halfway through the ride, stop at a beautiful panoramic spot to take photos and enjoy the silence of the desert. Continue your 2-hour ride, passing small Berber villages and herds of camels before returning to the camp.

Relax in a traditional Berber tent with Moroccan mint tea and local snacks, a perfect moment to unwind after your desert adventure.

This half-day experience is perfect for thrill-seekers, nature lovers, and anyone wanting to discover the wild beauty of Marrakech’s surroundings.
