The journey
The Agafay is a stony desert, not a sea of sand, and it lies about 30 km from Marrakech. That is its charm: wide, bare hills and a view to the High Atlas, close enough for an evening out. You spend an hour on a quad bike, ride a camel as the sun goes down, then sit down to dinner and mint tea at a desert camp before the drive back to town.
- An hour of quad biking over the Agafay hills
- A camel ride at sunset
- Dinner at a desert camp, with mint tea
- The High Atlas on the skyline at dusk
- About 30 minutes from Marrakech

Frequently asked questions
Is the Agafay a sand desert?
No. It is a rocky desert of bare hills about 30 km from Marrakech, not Saharan dunes. You come for the space, the sunset and the evening at camp, without the long drive south. For dunes, look at our trips to Erg Chebbi or Erg Chegaga.
What does the evening include?
Return transport from Marrakech, an hour of quad biking, the camel ride, dinner at the camp and a mint tea ceremony. Alcoholic drinks and tips are extra.
Do I need to have ridden a quad before?
No. You get a short briefing first, and the session goes at an easy pace that suits beginners.
What time do we get back?
Around 10:00 pm. Pick-up is at 3:00 pm from your hotel or riad in Marrakech.
