A low sun paints the Agafay plateau gold as twin buggies kick up a line of dust and rattle across compacted stone. Less than 40 minutes from Marrakech’s medina, the landscape opens into rolling, rocky plains where the wind arranges the scrub and the Atlas Mountains stand like a distant promise. Drivers meet at the quad base, run a short test circuit, then follow an experienced guide through a mix of hard-packed tracks, small dune faces, and Berber hamlets that watch the passing convoy.
