Itinerary
Day 1
Pickup from your Marrakech hotel/riad and transfer to the Agafay plateau; start the 4×4/quad portion of the tour.
Hotel pickup in Marrakech & 4×4 transfer toward Agafay
Your driver collects you from your Marrakech hotel or riad and transfers you by private vehicle toward the Agafay plateau. On arrival you meet the activity team, receive a short safety briefing and outfit for the quad/nomadic dress if required.
Tips from local experts:
- Be ready in your riad reception at the pickup time stated on your voucher; allow a 10–15 minute buffer for multiple pickups.
- Carry a valid ID/passport for hotel check-out or driver verification during pickup.
- Wear comfortable clothes and a light jacket — plateau winds can be cool in the evening.
Quad biking across the Agafay plateau (approx. 1 hour total)
Guided quad session over the Agafay terrain. Safety briefing and helmet provided; activity includes guided loops suitable for first-time riders.
Tips from local experts:
- Closed-toe shoes are required for quad riding; long hair should be tied back and loose items secured.
- Bring sunscreen and sunglasses — the light and dust can be strong even late afternoon.
- Follow the guide’s instructions closely; quads are operated in single-file across uneven terrain.
Sunset camel ride and Berber tea
Wear the provided nomadic dress for photos and board camels for a short sunset ride across the plateau. Finish with Berber tea and a short cultural introduction in the tent area.
Tips from local experts:
- Mount and dismount camels slowly using the guide’s help; this activity is not recommended for pregnant participants or those with serious back problems.
- Keep camera straps secure and store loose items in a small bag for the ride; sunset photos are best from the higher dunes.
- If you need assistance with the nomadic dress, ask staff — they will help with modesty and comfort for couples wanting photos.
Berber dinner, live music and return to Marrakech
Sit under a Berber tent for a traditional dinner served around the fire accompanied by live Berber music. After the meal you are returned to your Marrakech hotel by private transfer.
Tips from local experts:
- Dinner is served family-style; notify the operator in advance of dietary restrictions or severe allergies.
- Carry some Moroccan dirhams (MAD) for small purchases or tips; many desert camps operate primarily in cash.
- Expect the return transfer to take about 30–45 minutes depending on traffic; plan for a relaxed arrival back to your riad.
