Quad Adventure in the Agafay Desert
Overview
The Agafay is a wide desert of stone and golden earth, only 45 minutes from Marrakech. Its tracks go up and down small hills and dry river beds, which makes it perfect for quad riding.
After a short training you follow your guide for about one and a half hours on the quad, with stops for photos and a glass of mint tea in a Berber village. No experience and no driving licence are needed.
