More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of Marrakech’s mapped bustle and the land opens into a hard-stoned plain: the Agafay Desert reaches for the Atlas foothills with low, rolling ridges that look like sand dunes from a distance but are compacted rock and gravel. The sun leans across the plateau; a pair of Yamaha Wolverine 700cc buggies hum to life and the guide points to a line of tracks that cut toward a tented lunch spot.
