THE ACTIVITIES
What you'll do.
Six things in one evening. Here's what each one is like.
0240 MIN · SHARED DOUBLE QUAD
Quad biking in Agafay
Helmet on, goggles down. After a short safety talk, your guide leads the group out on the dirt tracks and over the hills. You share a double quad, two people per quad, and the guide sets a pace that suits the group.
- Helmet, goggles and a safety talk included
- No experience needed
- Want your own quad? Ask for a solo quad and pay the extra on the day
0315 MIN · AT GOLDEN HOUR
Camel ride
Then everything slows down. A camel guide leads your caravan across the plain while the light turns gold. It's calm, easy for kids, and the best seat for photos.
0430 MIN · PHOTO TIME
Sunset
Find a spot on the ridge and watch the sun drop behind the hills. On a clear evening you can see the Atlas mountains from here.
051 HOUR · UNDER THE LIGHTS
Dinner
Dinner is served at the camp as the stars come out: a tagine, couscous and fresh fruit, in the Berber tents or under the string lights. Water is on the table.

0630 MIN · AFTER DINNER
Music and fire show
Gnawa musicians bring out the drums and the iron castanets, folk dancers join in, and then the fire comes out. Burning torches, a storm of sparks and the whole camp watching.
