A low sun warms the stony plains as an 800cc buggy coughs to life and the guide points an eager line toward the tracks. In the Agafay Desert, forty‑five minutes from Marrakech, the ride feels immediate: rocks crunch under tires, dust plumes rise like a signal, and the High Atlas looms to the south, its ridged profile watching every turn.

Bring eye protection
Goggles or close‑fit sunglasses are essential to keep dust and grit out of your eyes during high‑speed sections.
Closed‑toe shoes only
Sturdy trainers or hiking shoes protect toes from rocks and make entering/exiting the buggy easier.
Hydrate before you go
Drink water before departure and carry a refillable bottle—desert air is dry and dust increases fluid loss.
