Our experience was fantastic! Ilias (our driver) was super punctual, kind, helpful, and precise. The quad experience was thrilling and adventurous, we had a ton of fun! When we got to the dinner spot, we had to wait quite a bit before eating, but then the dinner was tasty and authentic. After that, we enjoyed the fire show and traditional dances. Even though the experience lasted over 7 hours, since it gave us some time to relax, Ilias waited for us and was very attentive, always checking in to see how we were doing and making sure we felt comfortable. We loved this experience and suggest everyone give it a try!

We did a half-day quad ride in the Agafay desert. Our driver Ayoub Belgot safely drove us from the city center to the desert, where we hopped on the quads. He was super welcoming and gave us a nice ride. In the desert, we rode the quads and enjoyed a cup of tea in the camp. The views were stunning! Definitely recommending this for anyone looking for a bit of adventure during their time in Marrakech and a quick getaway from the city.

Today I had one of my best experiences thanks to my driver Aboubakr who suggested I take a ride in the desert. With the guides from my teacher Hicham, I had a unique drive through the desert, next to camels and desert villages. Totally recommend it. Remember the names of my driver and teacher; ask for them!
