Turn rocky, stony plains into a half-day playground on a guided quad tour of the Agafay Desert, just 40 km from Marrakech. Expect short climbs to Jbilets viewpoints, a mint tea stop, and a mix of hard-packed sand and loose rock under wheel.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You feel the engine’s rumble before the horizon opens: a low, rocky plain rolling toward squat Jbilets where wind and sun have etched ridges into the stone. At the staging area, guides fit helmets and gloves and the quads line up — machines that turn the Agafay’s tough, stony sand into a playground of berms and crest-lines.

Hydrate before and during the tour
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water in a small, accessible pack—desert air is dry and engines and sun add heat quickly.
Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants
Quads kick up rocks and sand; durable footwear and long pants protect legs and ankles from abrasion.
Protect against sun and dust
Use sunglasses, a buff or bandana for dust, and SPF 30+ sunscreen applied before the ride.
Swap drivers mid-ride if sharing
Each quad holds a driver and passenger; plan to switch so both people can drive and rest.
Closed-toe hiking shoes or trail sneakers
Protects feet from rocks, provides traction for mounting and dismounting the quad.
Sunglasses and a dust buff
Shields eyes from glare and dust kicked up by the quads.
