Looking for a dune buggy Morocco adventure? A buggy gives you the power of a small off-road car and the comfort of a seat belt and a roof bar. The buggy is a two-seat side-by-side, so you can share it with a friend or your child. Drive in the Agafay desert near Marrakech, as an add-on to the Agafay desert day trip, or in the Sahara dunes of Merzouga during the 4-day Marrakech to Fez via the desert or the private luxury desert tour.

Buggy or quad? Our article quad or buggy in the Morocco desert explains the differences, and Agafay desert vs Sahara helps you choose the place. See all Morocco adventure activities or design your tailor-made trip.
