Feel the rush of a buggy across the rocky Agafay Desert, then settle for tajine, tea and live music beneath open skies. This half-day excursion pairs an hour of off-road driving with a traditional Moroccan dinner and show, accessible from Marrakech.

The sun is a low disk over stony plains as a line of buggies cuts across the Agafay’s lunar-like expanse. Gravel spits from wheels; wind pushes against cheeks. Within an hour of Marrakech the landscape shifts from palms and ochre kasbahs to a broad, rocky desert where ridges and hard-packed sands trade places with scrub and occasional olive terraces.
