Quad biking in the Agafay desert

Guided, on the tracks east of the camps. No licence, a five-minute briefing, and you come back covered in dust whatever you wear.

From 50 € per person

What it is

The tracks run east of the camps, across open ground with long views towards the Atlas. You ride in a group behind a guide, which keeps the pace sensible and means nobody gets lost on a plateau where the tracks all look alike.

No licence is required and the briefing takes five minutes. Goggles and a helmet are provided. The ground is gravel and the dust gets everywhere, so wear something you do not mind ruining.

From 50 €

When to go

Mid-morning, before the heat builds. The tracks are exposed and between noon and four in summer a pleasant hour becomes an ordeal. Late afternoon works too and gives you better light for photographs.

Who it suits

  • Anyone, with no licence and no experience
  • Groups of friends and families with teenagers
  • People who want one hour of adrenaline in an otherwise quiet day

What it includes

Included

  • A guide leading the group
  • Goggles and helmet

Not included

  • Transfer from Marrakech, arranged on request

Frequently asked questions

How much is quad biking in Agafay?
From €50 per person for one hour. Two hours can be arranged if you ask when you book.
Do I need a licence?
No. The quads are guided, the briefing takes a few minutes, and goggles and a helmet are provided.
Is there a minimum age?
Yes, and a minimum height. Tell us who is coming and we confirm before you book rather than on arrival.
What should I wear?
Closed shoes and clothes you do not mind ruining. The ground is gravel and the dust gets everywhere.
Can I book it on the day?
Rarely. The equipment is shared between camps, so quads are booked ahead, unlike the camel ride.
Can two people share a quad?
The quads are single-seat. For two people sharing one machine, the two-seater buggy is the right choice.
