A guided quad biking tour of the Agafay Desert is a good way to have an adventure from Marrakech without having to set aside the whole day in your schedule. The two hours it takes will see you put some distance behind you on the rocky country just beyond the city.
You need not be accustomed to a quad to partake. Your guide has you covered with the safety and controls, and will let you have a short practice run to put you at ease before you are off. After that, you can put your camera to use for a few pictures while following the guide across the open terrain and admiring what is on offer.
Then there is the matter of the Agafay itself. This is a stone desert, nothing like the high dunes of the Sahara; the ride is defined by the plateaus, the mountains far off, and the arid, stony ground.
Do not come here for soft sand. But to get something more rugged and leave the palm groves or the city in your wake, the contrast is there to be had. Two hours on the trail is ample time to find the rhythm of the machine rather than be rushed through an orientation.
With your booking, you will have an experienced guide on hand, as well as insurance and the equipment required (quad, helmet, and goggles). For those in small parties, we provide transfers from the New City or the Medina of Marrakech at a rate of €50 per person.

If you have taken up our transfer option, we will come to collect you from your Marrakech accommodation. A time will be put in place between 9 am and 4 pm, as the day’s program and where you are located allow; this is confirmed when you book.
For those in the Medina, do bear in mind that on some of the pedestrianized streets, our vehicle cannot go all the way to the riad door, so a meeting point close by will be made. You can, of course, make your own way to the starting point; directions will be forthcoming upon confirmation of your reservation.
On arrival, you will meet the guide and be given your gear. An old hand at riding would do well to stay for the briefing, the desert being what it is. For the uninitiated, a bit of practice with the speed and steering is in order.
The guide will then take charge of the group and the route. The tracks are anything but even, and the landscape is wide and dry. It is not about putting in the miles but to have an experience of a different sort from the city, and the guide will call a halt now and then for the views. Some two hours later, you will be where you started, and if a return is in the offing, we will see you back in Marrakech.
One does not have to plan a multi-day excursion to the more out-of-the-way parts of Morocco to have a change of scene. The Agafay is open and remote, unlike the Palmeraie, which is more of an enclosure with its palms and nearer to town. If a rocky desert is to your liking, the Agafay is where you should be.
And while the Palmeraie suits those who wish to remain close to Marrakech, do not be deterred by the “Marrakech quad biking” moniker when making your choice of tour. Before you put in a booking, do yourself the favor of examining the finer details of any option under consideration. See what is included and the transfer arrangements, find out how much time on the quad is part of the deal, and where the tour is run from.
Our rates are €50 per person. That covers your high-performance quad, helmet and goggles, an experienced guide, and a safety briefing with some time to practice. We also include insurance and will make hotel transfers for small parties in the New City or the Medina. For a larger group or if a private outing is more to your liking, inquire about our discounts and private options at the time of booking.

Quad biking adventure with friends in the Agafay Desert near Marrakech.
Experience is not a prerequisite; we have both novices and those more seasoned. The one rule is that the driver has to be 16 or older. Children can ride as passengers, but we would suggest you get in touch with us first to check what can be done. The activity is not something we would put forward for pregnant women or anyone with a medical condition of note.
There is no call for any kind of specialist equipment. One should put on closed-toe shoes and anything else that is at once comfortable and unencumbering. Keep a camera, sunglasses and sunscreen within easy reach, yet make certain to put them away in a secure fashion for the ride. It is an outdoor affair and bound to be dusty, so it’s best to leave anything delicate behind.
As it is off-road, one expects responsible conduct. Your guide has the equipment and will give you the instructions. There is no call to put in a race to catch up with others; just go at your own pace. Should you have a physical or medical matter of concern, talk to us beforehand.
If you are pitting an Agafay Desert ATV tour against another, do not be swayed by the headline figure. A lower price could well mean you are without the quality of a guide or transfers. Also, bear in mind the two hours stated are for the quad biking; getting to and from Agafay and any prep is on top of that.
A good way to spend two hours in the rocky desert with a guide is for €50 a head; your transfer from Marrakech and the rest are taken care of. For your date and the size of your party, the form here is all you need. If a private tour is wanted, tell us, and we will see to the arrangements.
No, beginners are quite welcome. The guide will explain how to operate the quad and give you some practice.
From €50 per person. We can arrange private tours and group discounts if you ask.
