Leave Marrakech for the stony sweeps of the Agafay Desert: drive past argan groves, test a twin-seat buggy across rocky trails, then settle at a camp for a traditional Moroccan dinner and live music as the sun sets.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun leans low over a shale-strewn horizon and the Agafay’s rocky ridges turn to warm ochre — you feel the desert under the tires before you hear the wind.

History
Agafay has long served as grazing and seasonal transit land for Amazigh (Berber) communities; it’s a rocky reg rather than classic Saharan dunes and has become a nearby outdoor playground for Marrakech.
Conservation
Stick to established routes, avoid off-track erosion, minimize litter, and support local cooperatives to keep economic benefit in the community.
Reserve your spot on the Marrakech: Buggy Ride, Dinner Show & Sunset in Agafay Desert today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Book an afternoon slot
Late-afternoon departures capture golden light and cooler temperatures for the buggy portion and sunset at the camp.
Protect your eyes and mouth
Goggles or wraparound sunglasses and a buff or bandana will block dust kicked up on open sections.
Hydrate and carry snacks
Bring a 1L water bottle and light snacks—heat and exertion on the buggy can dehydrate you faster than expected.
Respect the cooperative
Ask before photographing individuals at the Argan cooperative and consider purchasing small items to support the women’s collective.
Closed-toe trail shoes
Protects feet during buggy entry/exit and when walking around rocky camp terrain.
Sunglasses or goggles
Shields eyes from wind-driven dust during open stretches of the ride.
