Quad Biking
Quad bikes and sand buggies are available for hire on the outskirts of Marrakesh, with most of the outfitters taking advantage of the sandy tracks of the Palmery for a half-day or so of fun, but some can organize treks that range farther afield, to the Agafay desert or Lalla Takerkoust.
Dunes & Desert Exploration. For those who like the more-adrenaline-pumping entertainment of quad bikes, this outfitter is a one-stop shop that can also arrange camel rides in the Palmery, hot-air-balloon rides, mountain biking, or even stand-up paddle boarding on Lake Takerkoust. Multiday rafting in the Atlas Mountains depends on the season. Marrakesh, Marrakech-Tensift-Al Haouz. 0524/35–41–47; www.dunesdeserts.com.
