More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive as the city heat loosens—an hour from Marrakech, the minivan opens onto a stony expanse where quads sit like beasts waiting to be ridden. The wind carries grit and last light; underfoot the terrain is a mosaic of compacted shale, dry riverbeds and low scrub that gives the Agafay Desert its lunar feel. A camel train ticks quietly nearby, ready for a slow, swaying contrast to the adrenaline on the track.
