Strap into a buggy and leave the medina’s bustle for a three-hour circuit through the Palmeraie palm oasis. Expect sandy tracks, small dunes, helmeted safety briefings and a mint-tea pause before a smooth return to Marrakech.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The day begins with the muted thrum of a minibus rolling away from Marrakech’s ochre medina and into a band of palms that breathes a different pace. Dust lifts behind twin wheels as you meet helmets and goggles, and the first dunes appear like small waves on a sandy plain. The buggy’s engine nudges you forward; palms lean over the track as if watching the procession.
