The experience

An afternoon-to-evening trip to the Agafay Desert’s rocky plain, combining quad biking, a camel ride and a dinner show.

A roughly one-hour drive from Marrakech to the Agafay Desert — a rocky, lunar-like landscape rather than Sahara-style sand dunes — for a guided quad-bike ride, a sunset camel trek with Atlas Mountain views, and dinner at a desert camp.

The evening continues with a traditional Moroccan dinner of tagine and couscous, followed by a live fire show, music and dance under the desert sky.

  • Travellers wanting a livelier, more active desert evening.
