Fully automatic quad bikes are provided with a helmet and safety goggles, no prior ATV experience needed, and no driving licence required.

Groups are organised by pace and experience on arrival: beginners ride with beginners, so you never feel pressured to keep up with faster riders.

A mid-ride stop at a traditional Berber village includes mint tea and homemade Moroccan crepes, served at a local family's home.

Everything! From the transfer, to the quad guys, to the ride it self! The experience was amazing from head to toe. Everyone was very friendly and fun and made the experience even better. The booking was very easy. I can only recommend!

Hands down, one of the COOLEST things I’ve done in Morocco. I went solo, but ended up making friends with two hilarious French girls in my group. Quads were in great shape, and our guide Youssef was super chill (told us random desert facts the whole time). The wind was wild, so bring a scarf or you’ll eat sand, lol. We stopped for mint tea in a little Berber spot—soooo good and felt v authentic. Only complaint: my helmet was a bit tight. Def worth it tho, even if my hair was a mess for dinner!

What a DAY! We did the morning slot, so less crowded which was perfecto. I was a bit scared at first (never driven a quad before) but the staff gave us a quick lesson and I felt safe. Loved driving over the rocky bits and then the sand dunes—so much variety. Stopped at a Berber house for tea + cookies (the cookies were bomb). My boyfriend got wayyy too competitive racing the other guys, but nobody crashed so all good.

The Palmeraie quad ride covers terrain that a walking tour or camel ride doesn't: open desert tracks, rocky scrubland, and palm-shaded paths, all within reach of Marrakesh in a single half-day.

Getting started

Get picked up from your hotel in Marrakech or head to a central meeting point, as confirmed after booking. Meet your driver and quad guide, gear up, and receive a thorough safety briefing before setting off.

What to expect

Explore Marrakech’s palm oasis and surrounding desert trails as daylight fades.

Features

Safety briefing and equipment: On arrival, your guide runs through the quad bike controls, hand signals, and safety instructions before anyone rides. You'll be fitted with a helmet and goggles. The quad bikes are fully automatic; there is no gear changing or manual clutch to manage. Allow approximately 15–20 minutes for the briefing and setup before you ride.

The quad ride: The trail begins in the palm grove, then opens out onto wider desert tracks as the route progresses. Terrain is a mix of sand, compacted earth, and rocky path, varied enough to stay interesting, manageable enough for first-timers. Guides lead the group and set the pace, with stops for photos at scenic points along the route. Riding time is approximately 1.5–2 hours depending on group pace.

Berber village stop: Midway through the ride, you'll stop at a traditional Berber village where a local family hosts a short tea break. Mint tea and homemade crepes with honey are served. It's a welcome rest between riding sections and a glimpse into the village life that surrounds the Palmeraie.

Return to Marrakesh: After the ride, your driver returns you to your hotel or a central drop-off point in Marrakesh.
