1-Hour Agafay Desert Quad Biking: Sunset views
Agafay Desert Quad Biking | 1-Hour Sunset Tour
The Agafay Desert Quad Biking experience is a straightforward way to put some distance between yourself and Marrakech for a couple of hours and do something a little different. The hour-long ride is ample time to put in some miles over the desert’s rocky expanse and take in the open country.
You need not have any previous riding experience to partake. Before you are on your way, the guide will see to it that you are comfortable with the quad and have been made aware of the safety protocols. One is then led by the group out into the desert, with an occasional stop to take in the view or put a camera to use.
It is a straightforward way to fill an hour of one’s itinerary when time in Marrakech is at a premium; we have departures available in the morning as well as in the afternoon and at sunset. It is a short tour, but one that does not feel in any way rushed; you get the full hour on the machine rather than being hurried from one activity to the next. The ruggedness of the Agafay terrain is a welcome contrast to the city streets, allowing for a bit of adventure from the driver’s seat without having to devote the entire day to it.
Marrakech Pickup And Safety Briefing
To get to our Agafay base, we will make an appearance at your hotel or some other place in the city center or Medina that has been pre-arranged. If it is not possible for a vehicle to reach your door, a suitable spot in the city will be arranged for us to meet.
Exploring By Quad
An experienced guide will be with you for the hour on the trails. The combination of open desert and rock makes for interesting riding. Do not let the landscape in Agafay pass you by unobserved; it is the very reason people come out from Marrakech. There is plenty of opportunity to put the camera away and enjoy the views. At the end of the hour, we return to the base and then back to the city.
One does need a certain amount of mobility to partake in an outdoor activity of this sort. We would ask that you put in a word with us prior to reserving if there is any condition on your part that might preclude safe riding. After a morning in the medina and a lunch in town, an afternoon in the desert fits the bill nicely without the necessity of an overnight stay.
Agafay Desert Quad Biking
Even beginners will be at ease. A helmet and goggles are on hand, and the guide will give the required instructions. There is no value in riding hard to get the most from it; staying in your comfort zone and heeding the guide is sufficient. It is better to pick up the basics with someone showing you the way than to try and make your own path through unfamiliar ground.
What Is Included With Your Booking:
- An hour of guided quad biking
- All the necessary safety equipment
- Round-trip transport with hotel pickup and drop-off in Marrakech
- Your choice of a morning, afternoon, or sunset slot
- An experienced guide
Having the transport taken care of is a practical matter, so you can leave the logistics to us.
As for what to wear, nothing special is called for, but you should be at ease. One does not do without good closed shoes; put aside any footwear you would be chagrined to have dusted over. As the day wears on, a light layer is in order, and for the daylight hours, one would be well advised to have sunglasses and sunscreen at the ready. Make sure your camera and phone are close by. There are some good natural shots to be had along the way, especially on our sunset departures.
How Long Does The Tour Take?
You can expect about an hour on the quad in the Agafay Desert. The outing as a whole will run longer for the safety briefing, getting ready, and so on. We handle the pickup and return from Marrakech, so allow a little time for that. It is a convenient means of having an outdoor activity without upending your plans in the city, whether in the morning, afternoon, or evening.
Agafay Desert Quad Biking Or A Longer Tour?
An hour is enough if you want to put in some time behind the handlebars and take in the view without being at it for hours. An ideal choice for a first-timer or one who is pressed for time on a holiday in Marrakech. Should you want to put in more of a drive, the Agafay has other packages to be had, some with a camel ride and meal thrown in. But for a quick desert escape, one hour will do.
Is Agafay The Sahara?
One should make no mistake about that fact prior to making a booking. The Sahara may be defined by its expanse of sand dunes, but the Agafay, being in the vicinity of Marrakech, is something else entirely: a rocky desert of dry hills and rugged terrain on tracks ideal for quads. It is easy to get to for a drive while you are in town, but if you are looking to be among enormous dunes for days, this is something else entirely.
Pricing And Availability
We have this small-group tour at €30 per person with daily runs in the morning, afternoon, and at sunset. Do check the booking form as availability is date-dependent.
Book Your Agafay Quad Adventure
There is no need to clear your day for a desert experience. We will see to the transport from the city and the safety gear, and put you on a guided course through the rocks of Agafay for an hour or so. The sunset session is an excellent opportunity to see the colors come and go in the desert and over the Atlas Mountains.
A simple means of putting some distance between oneself and the city, we put in a good word for the Agafay Desert Camel Ride and Quad Biking; reserve your place in advance. And if one is in Marrakech but has no inclination for a full-day excursion, the hour-long affair is all the practicality one needs and more, with the balance of the day still at one’s disposal.
