Spend an evening in Agafay: an adrenaline-filled quad ride, a tranquil camel trek at sunset, and a traditional Berber dinner under the stars. Expect rocky plains, local music, and a practical, well-paced tour from Marrakech.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A late-afternoon transfer from Marrakech drops you onto a stony plain where the Agafay Desert’s low, wind-scoured ridges push the skyline into stepped horizons. The first hour is kinetic: a guided quad loop across hard-packed plains and shallow washes, dust lifting in sheets as the sun moves golden toward the Atlas-shadowed horizon.
