The sun slides low over a rocky expanse as a line of ATVs cuts across compacted stone; dust plumes catch the last light while the Atlas Mountains watch from the horizon. This is Agafay — a stony, non-sandy desert a short drive from Marrakech where engines, camel hooves and live music meet in a single evening.

Hydrate before and during the trip
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water and sip frequently—the dry air and activity increase dehydration risk.
Wear closed-toe, grippy shoes
Stony terrain and ATV controls demand stable footwear—avoid sandals or slippery soles.
Bring sun protection
Sunglasses, a wide-brim hat or buff and SPF will protect you during daytime transfers and the ride.
Arrive camera-ready but pack light
A small camera or phone on a secure strap is ideal—loose gear can bounce or get dusty on the quad.
Closed-toe hiking or trail shoes
Protect feet on rocky terrain and provide grip on ATVs and while boarding camels.
Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, SPF)
The exposed landscape offers little shade; UV protection is essential.
summer
Reusable water bottle (1–2L)
Staying hydrated is important in dry desert air and during physical activity.
Light jacket or fleece
Evenings can cool quickly after sunset; a light layer keeps you comfortable during dinner.
