More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The late-afternoon sun slides low across a pale, rocky plain—Agafay’s stone desert opens like a wide, wind-sculpted stage. Gravelly hummocks and flat, stony expanses stretch toward the High Atlas, their surfaces warming as you arrive for a five‑hour circuit of speed, silence and song.

Hydrate before and during the trip

Sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes protect feet during quad riding and walking on rocky surfaces.
Use sun protection
Sunglasses, SPF 30+ sunscreen, and a hat are important—the desert reflects strong UV even late in the day.
