Agafay Desert — Sunset & Dinner
Half day · Quad + camel · Buffet dinner · Fire show under the stars
The most complete Agafay experience — quad, camel, sunset, buffet dinner and fire show — all in one evening, just 45 minutes from Marrakech. Get picked up at 14:00, ride quad for an hour across the lunar stone desert with the High Atlas on the horizon, swap the engine for a 30-minute camel ride at sunset, then settle into a Berber camp for a buffet dinner (grilled meats, chicken, salads, couscous) and a traditional fire show under the stars. Back at your riad by 22:00.
