Choose a morning or afternoon tour when you book. Then, when the time comes, meet your friendly driver at your Marrakech hotel and set off for the High Atlas Mountains by comfortable, air-conditioned minivan or 4x4. 

Soak up the cool and fresh mountain air as you leave the city and on arrival at the quad bike start point, listen to a safety briefing and driving instructions. Don the provided equipment, including a helmet, gloves, goggles and a cheich (turban-style scarf).

Then, once settled on your vehicle, take off behind your guide on a 2-hour tour, traveling at a pace that suits you and in a friendly atmosphere. Follow dusty country trails and drive into the famous Agafay Desert and Turtle Valley, soaking up views of the snow-capped High Atlas peaks and majestic Lake Takerkoust on route.

Rumble through eucalyptus forests and Berber villages, and stop to enjoy a traditional Moroccan Berber mint tea. Finally, before returning to the start point, stop on a high plateau that commands wonderful views over the blue waters of the 4.3-mile (7-kilometer) lake spread at the foot of the Atlas range. Be sure to bring your camera: it’s a must on this trip!

After your quad bike ride, relax on your drive back to your Marrakech hotel where your tour ends.
