The first scrape of dust on the road hints at what’s ahead: a broad, stony plain opening toward the Atlas, the air dry and bright as you arrive in the Agafay Desert. An air‑conditioned transfer from Marrakech delivers you to a small staging area where quad bikes sit ready and a caravan of camels blinks against the sun. Tea is poured; guides outline the route; then the engine rumbles and the day moves forward.

Hydrate before you go
Bring at least 1–1.5 liters of water per person—desert air dehydrates quickly even on cool days.
Protect against dust and sun
Wear sunglasses, a brimmed hat, and a buff or bandana to block windblown grit while on the quad.
Wear sturdy closed‑toe shoes
Trainers or light hiking shoes give protection and grip for both quad mounting and camel saddles.
Keep camera gear safe
Use a zippered daypack and a lens cloth; sand is the main enemy of electronics here.
