Marrakech: 2-Hour Buggy Tour in the Agafay Desert

More powerful than a quad, more stable over rough ground, and honestly, a lot more fun on the climbs — the buggy is how you take on the Agafay Desert properly.

No driving license needed. No experience required. Just a helmet, a guide ahead of you, and 40 minutes of rocky desert tracks to explore.
