Randonnée en Quad dans le Désert d’Agafay

HIGHLIGHTS

Quad-adventure into stone desert
Full daytrip to the foothils of the Atlas mountains
Moon-like landscape

DESCRIPTION

If you don’t have time to traverse mountain passes, you can take a trip to the Agafay Desert: a rough, dry, moon-like expanse 40km southwest of Marrakech down the Route d’Amizmiz. You explore this incredible landscape near the Atlas mountains by quad for about two hours. The route will take you to arid hills, oases, and rivers.

Our driver picks you up at your hotel/Riad or any other location at the agreed time. On the way to the lake Lalla Takerkoust and the surprising Agafay Desert we pass wonderful eucalyptus forests and hidden canyons. This tour provides a bit of everything, from adventure to amazing, mountainous landscapes and the beauty of this lake that stretches for seven kilometers.

Once arrived in the base near Agafay, the participants are briefed on the safe use of quads. Appropriate health and safety equipment, goggles, hood, helmet, and raincoat are provided and will be in excellent condition.

We start the quad-adventure next to lake Lalla Takerkoust and go on to Agafay desert – the Atlas Mountains in the background of our track over stones and hills. The feeling of being all alone in the world will grip you in its moon-like landscape. Finally returning to the base, water and Moroccan tea are offered.

On the way back to Marrakech you’ll enjoy sublime views of the Atlas Mountains.
