Soar above the Kik Plateau, then trade the sky for a camel’s sway across the Agafay Desert. This half-day combo combines a tandem paragliding flight with a short camel ride and Berber tea at a desert camp.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You lift off from a wind-scoured ridge above the Kik Plateau and Marrakech shrinks to a pattern of ochre roofs while the Atlas Mountains stand like a distant wall. The paraglider pulls you forward; air and light do the work, the pilot guiding a quiet arc. Below, the Agafay’s stony plains and low dunes spread out—an unexpected, moonlit-like landscape that seems to dare you to explore it by foot or camel.

Book morning or late afternoon slots
Morning flights usually have steadier thermals; late afternoon delivers the best sunset colors but wind can pick up—choose based on comfort with changing conditions.
Wear layered, windproof clothing
High-altitude launches are chilly and the desert can cool quickly after sunset—layers help you stay comfortable both in the air and at camp.
Secure soft-soled shoes
Plan for short uphill walks at the launch site and stable footing for camel mounting—trail runners or sturdy sneakers work best.
Hydrate and avoid heavy meals pre-flight
Bring water and eat lightly; motion during paragliding or on camels can be uncomfortable on a full stomach.
Layered jacket
Windproof layers block chill at launch and keep you warm during evening camp tea.
Sun-protective sunglasses and hat
Glare is strong on the plateau and in the open desert; eye protection improves comfort and safety.

Sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Provide traction on rocky launch zones and stability when mounting camels.
Reusable water bottle
Keeps you hydrated during transfers and while waiting at the camp; operators may offer refills.
