Once on site, safety first ! Welcome tea, check-in, equipment briefing (Yamaha quads) and initiation to the driving to be all ready for departure to go explore the vast but diminishing remnants of the Marrakech palmeraie and desert. And of course, great views of the High Atlas, the roof of North Africa.

Our reputation is already made : our detailed knowledge of the area, top-notch in-house maintenance, the complete reliability of our equipment and the super team of guides are all making the difference. On the way, a halt is planned in a little village to stretch your legs, sip hot tea and enjoy Berber hospitality, and if time permitting, our guides will be happy to show experienced riders their favorite tracks & spots.

This family-friendly half day excursion can also be tailored, on demand, to suit you and your parties tastes for exploration and adventure. Discover the Jbilets desert area where the beaten path stops and sometimes even enjoy great views of the High Atlas Mountains. A perfect outing for adventurous travelers looking for Moroccan realness : its inhabitants, its hospitality and its wide open spaces.
