Half-day raid on the Agafay plateau
A morning or late-afternoon loop across Agafay's red-and-ochre rocky terrain — long enough to string together ridges, a dry riverbed and a tea with the locals, yet never more than two hours of driving. The right format to taste the desert without giving up your whole day.

What's on the menu
Two hours of driving, no more
We deliberately cap the riding time to leave room for the scenery, the photos and the tea. You leave delighted, not wiped out.
Can-Am riding
Can-Am X3 buggies, 4-point harness and a full briefing: accessible to beginners, a real thrill for the initiated.
A tea, not a staged stop
The break happens with the locals, not at a tourist trap — a simple, genuine moment.
20 minutes from Marrakech
Our base at Km 16 of the route d'Amizmiz is the most direct gateway to the Agafay plateau.
Extend the outing
The half day stands on its own, but it pairs nicely with a lunch or dinner at one of the nearby Agafay camps.
Dinner & fire show
Luxury camp in the Agafay: dinner, Moroccan wine and a fire show after dark — the evening option to turn the outing into a highlight.
Moroccan table in Agafay
Moroccan table (tagine, couscous, grills) in Agafay's mineral setting, just minutes from the loop.
