Quad biking Marrakech is a fun way to leave the busy medina and see a different landscape in a short time. You can ride in the Palmeraie, a large palm grove at the edge of the city, or in the Agafay desert, a stony desert with views of the Atlas mountains about 40 minutes away. The ride is easy to combine with the Agafay desert day trip, the luxury Marrakech, Agafay and Atlas tour or a day before the 3-day Marrakech to Merzouga tour.
