Agafay Desert - Quad Camel and Dinner show

Posted By : mekdaram
PROS: Very fun excursion from Marrakech. We really enjoyed the camel ride and the quad ride. The food and show were good. The hookah was nice.

CONS: They don’t accept card, so take plenty of cash as the drinks were a bit expensive. 80 dirhams (8 euros) for a small bottle of Casablanca beer. However, they did have cheaper beer for 60 dirhams (6 euros). The non-alcoholic drinks such as Coca Cola were about 25 dirhams (2.5 euros).

Also, we didn’t love that we were separated during the quad ride. It seemed they separated the men from the women and children, as if the women/children were not able to ride the quads as well as the men. I grew up riding quads so I was a bit insulted as a woman and sad to be separated from my partner. Since we wanted to ride next to each other and laugh together during the ride. We did meet at the stopping point for pictures, but then were separated again on the ride back. We understand the logic behind the decision, but would definitely have preferred to stay together.

As for the drive back to Marrakech, the driver was very angry and frustrated, which unfortunately made us extremely uncomfortable and a bit scared. Perhaps he was just tired. He seemed to be experiencing some road rage and frequently yelled at other drivers and at one point pulled up closely to another car to yell at the driver in Arabic. The other driver tried to ignore him for several minutes, which made our driver seem a bit belligerent to be honest. We found it to be a bit unprofessional. We understand the driving in Marrakech is quite chaotic so we were quiet and patient, but we did have several other drivers throughout our time in Morocco and none of them behaved that way. So it did come as an unpleasant surprise.

But besides that, we had a really great time and would definitely recommend the experience to others. We think the important thing here is to be understanding of the cultural differences, forgiving of the minor hiccups, and you are sure to have a great time. So thank you very much to the company for offering us this unique and fun experience. We will never forget it.

A little too touristy outing with large groups for camel rides to take some photos and return

This trek to the dessert from the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh was near perfect. It was calming, relaxing with cool breeze, pool, music and beer or wine if you so choose. If you are an active person, then you can do the quad or camel riding. If you prefer (like I did) just chill by the pool, with a book. There is wifi for those who want it. The package came with a sumptuous lunch. But to top off a wonderful experience, our host for the day Hadi, was just superb. He was friendly, high energy and very accommodating--hospitality at its best!. Thanks Hadi for making the experience so rich and easy.

My experience at the Agafay Desert - Quad Camel and Dinner show in Morocco was a mix of highs and lows.

The quad excursion felt overly supervised and lacked the sense of exploration I was hoping for. The camel ride was leisurely paced but disappointingly short.

On a positive note, the dinner show featuring the fire performance was captivating, and the food was satisfactory. However, the presence of seemingly underage belly dancers was concerning.

Overall, while the experience was average, there is room for improvement. I would recommend the organizers to focus on better organization and enhancing the value for the money spent.

My husband and I had an amazing time. The service was great. We got picked up close to our hotel. Then arrived at the desert. We first did the camel ride, which was great. Then proceeded with the quads, it was so much fun. Then they instructed us to go to where the dinner and show was going to take place. The entertainment was fun and the typical Moroccan food was delicious. We totally recommend this was a great experience!

Even better than last year.
Total change of scenery upon our arrival, very beautiful place where we took superb photos after drinking our welcome tea. The singers accompanied us throughout the meal which was good and typically Moroccan.
What followed was a superb show of fire eaters and dancers which transported us to the land of a thousand and one nights. Absolutely to do, I can only recommend it.

Entire experience was great. The activities are shorter than claimed but they were fun! Although a big group can make the quad biking slower, it massively compliments the atmosphere at dinner so can’t complain. Food was well cooked and tasted great, will always have something for someone that’s fussy.

This is probably one of the few things worth doing in Marrakech. The whole country clearly has a good marketing scam going on, it is really underwhelming. Worth maybe 3-4 days' visit if you want to see a few cities, but don's stay longer, there isn't much to do. This tour is fun though. Camel ride was very memorable, we did spend a good amount of time on the quads riding around and took some great pictures. The place though is just about an hour outside of Marrakech, so if you think you will see a real desert, you won't. It is just a rugged terrain with sparse vegetation. Dinner and the show in the evening was nice. The show included belly dancing, fire twirling and traditional Moroccan music.
