Rides and raids
Buggy and quad tours from Marrakech
From an hour on the trails to a two-day raid: all our rides leave from our Agafay base, with guide, equipment and briefing included. Prices are shown per vehicle; raids are priced on request.
Rides from the base
1 to 4 hours on site, bookable the day before for the next day.
The signature ride · Can-Am turbo · from 2,000 DH
Agafay buggy tour, 1 or 2 hours
The ride most of our visitors book: a Can-Am Maverick X3 turbo, 2 or 4 seats, and 1 or 2 hours of driving across the ochre plateaus and riverbeds of the Agafay Desert, guide out front. 25 km from Marrakech, no licence needed, passengers from age 6.
No licence · riders from 16 · from 400 DH
Agafay quad tour, 1 or 2 hours
One or two hours of quad biking on the rocky trails of the Agafay Desert, behind a guide, on an automatic Kawasaki Brute Force 300 or a Can-Am Outlander 850. The most accessible ride in our range: no licence needed, from 400 DH per vehicle, passengers welcome from age 6.
Golden hour · 2 h of driving · from 700 DH
Sunset buggy or quad ride
The desert’s most photogenic hour: set off around 90 minutes before sunset, head for the ochre plateaus of Agafay, low light raking across the rock and the High Atlas running through every shade of orange. Back at the base at nightfall, in time for dinner in Marrakech.
4 h on site · 3 h of driving · price on request
Half-day buggy tour in Agafay
The most complete ride from the base: four hours on site including around three hours of driving, linking several Agafay landscapes – plateaus, riverbeds and viewpoints over the Atlas – with a proper tea break at the Berber camp. Long enough to see it all, short enough to free up your afternoon.
One ride, two machines · groups and families
Quad and buggy combo
Within a group, preferences split fast: some want to sit strapped in, two or four abreast; others want their own handlebars. This option refuses to decide for you. You build your own convoy from buggies and quads, everyone leaves at the same time behind the same guide, and nobody waits their turn.
Full-day and 2-day raids
Guided routes to Lake Takerkoust, the Kik Plateau and the villages of the High Atlas. Meals included, price on request. Even over two days you stay in the stone desert of Agafay: Agafay or the Sahara, the nearest dunes are 9 to 10 hours’ drive from Marrakech.
Half-day · 32 km · 2 h of driving
Agafay Explorer Raid
A 32-kilometre loop across the red and ochre terrain of Agafay, in the morning or late afternoon: panoramic ridge, rocky riverbed, tea in a family home in a Berber village and a viewpoint over Lake Lalla Takerkoust, and never more than two hours of driving. The right format to get a taste of a raid without giving up the whole day.
Full day · 70 km · 5 h of driving · lunch included
Lake Takerkoust & Kik Plateau Raid
Our signature full day: down to Lake Lalla Takerkoust, up to the Kik Plateau facing the wall of the High Atlas, lunch in a Berber village, then back across the rocky terrain of Agafay. Five hours of driving spread over the day, with proper breaks.
Day + evening · 72 km · dinner and fire show
Agafay Stars Raid: full day, dinner & show
The Lake Takerkoust & Kik Plateau day, extended into the night: after the lake, the plateau and the Agafay terrain, the raid ends at a luxury camp for a Moroccan dinner, music and a fire show under the stars. The ride travellers book ahead for a special occasion.
Full day · 170 km · 6 villages · 6 h of driving
Atlas Villages Raid
Our most authentic loop: starting from Oumnass, we link up the Berber villages at the foot of the High Atlas – Guemassa and Majhat – then the big climb to Toulkine and Azgour, perched above 1,500 metres. Lunch in Amizmiz, a market town, and return via Amghras and the shores of Lake Lalla Takerkoust. Around 170 km of trails and close to 1,100 m of ascent.
2 days · 186 km · night in Ouirgane
Grand Atlas–Agafay Raid, 2 days
Our most complete raid: two days between the High Atlas and the Agafay Desert, starting from our base in Oumnass. Day 1: the trails of the Kik Plateau, the descent into the Moulay Brahim valley and lunch in a family home, then Asni and a night in a boutique hotel in Ouirgane. Day 2: on to Amizmiz, lunch in Toulkine, then the stony terrain of Agafay before the return.
