Itinerary
If you are a Desert enthusiast and you are visiting Marrakech for a short time, but you see that it is not practical to journey to Sahara because it needs at least 3-days and almost 10 hours’ drive one way. Well, do not worry. Therefore, if it is not your cup of tea to make this big trip, there are other desert tours from Marrakech. Not a lot of people know about Agafay Desert, only 30 min from your hotel/Riad in Marrakech. To be honest you will not find the golden rolling sand dunes here (it is a stone desert) but you absolutely can have the secluded desert experience complete with stunning views of the High Atlas Mountains. In addition, it is closed enough to easily be a day trip from Marrakech.
Either make your choice, foothill of Atlas, at the heart of the desert of Agafay in the outside of Marrakech, or enjoy the ride in the palm grove. Exotic Lines Travels with pleasure will offer a safe and fun way to discover the wild nature, we guaranty you a safe experience, monitored by a quad or buggy biking guide.

Leaving one star because it’s not possible to leave negative stars. They put our group in a car with missing registration and we were pulled over by the police for close to 45 minutes. Our driver failed to check us in and we did not get to ATV. The entire experience took about 6 hours, of which 7 minutes were spent riding camels and 15 minutes were spent eating mediocre food in a wind storm with interment power outages. Would not recommend this to anyone.
We’re sorry to read that this day didn’t go as planned. The weather conditions were very difficult, with strong winds that unfortunately affected all outdoor setups, including the camp and dinner area. While this is outside our control, we understand it made the experience less comfortable. Regarding the police stop, road checks are routine authority procedures in Morocco, especially during busy periods. These controls are mandatory and not related to the vehicle service itself, but we regret the time it took. As for the ATV activity, delays earlier in the schedule and traffic that day affected timing, which led to the issue with the check-in. This was not intentional, and we understand the frustration. We always aim to provide smooth and enjoyable experiences, and we take your feedback seriously as it helps us improve coordination in situations like this.
