Rev up a KYMCO 300cc and cross the stony Agafay Desert just outside Marrakech. This half-day quad safari pairs fast, dusty tracks with panoramic Atlas views and a stop for traditional mint tea in a Berber tent.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The wind scrapes across stone and sand as you clip into a KYMCO 300cc and crest the flat, pale ridges of the Agafay Desert. Forty minutes from Marrakech the city fades and a lunar expanse opens—stubbled plains, scatterings of scrub, and the Atlas Mountains stacked like a distant spine. Engines hum; dust lifts and briefly erases the world behind you.

History
Agafay’s stony plains were historically grazing and caravan corridors for Amazigh (Berber) communities; modern tourism has introduced guided motor routes while traditional hospitality continues in roadside tents.
Conservation
This dryland ecosystem is fragile—stick to marked tracks to avoid damaging vegetation and soil crusts, and pack out waste; operators increasingly emphasize low-impact practices.
