Enjoying quads in Morocco is a possibility within reach in the main tourist destinations, especially those with a more arid landscape, but not only. This four-wheeled vehicle, which provides the adrenaline of an offroad motorcycle but with greater stability, is ideal for discovering certain corners of the country, where you cannot reach on foot or in a conventional vehicle. Or at least, not with the same sense of adventure. Here are some of those destinations where you can make your dream of riding one come true.
Merzouga and Zagora
In Merzouga and Zagora are probably the most famous and spectacular dunes in Morocco: those of Erg Chebbi and Erg Chigaga, respectively. And quad rental companies are not lacking in these iconic corners of the Sahara, especially in Merzouga. With these vehicles, it is not only possible to travel the fascinating undulations of fine sand, but also the stony tracks that once formed part of the Paris-Dakar rally.
Marrakech
On the outskirts of Marrakech it is also possible to get on a quad: the city’s tourism sector has reached such a level of development and segmentation that the rental companies of these vehicles offer numerous models and experiences. For example, in the Agafay desert, located at the foot of the High Atlas mountains, dominated by an almost lunar landscape of hammada. Or even in the Palmeraie, which is the large enclosure of palm trees centuries old, located north of the city.
Agadir
The city of Agadir is another of the great tourist destinations in Morocco. Here, travelers mainly stop for vacation reasons. And for this public that seeks to combine relaxation and entertainment, quad activities are the order of the day, with a differentiating plus: many of the routes overlook the coastal cliffs, providing magnificent views of the Atlantic Ocean. Many of these services are offered to the north, in the Taghazout environment, but others are located to the south, in the environment of the Souss Massa National Park.
Ouarzazate
In the pre-Saharan valleys south of the Atlas, for example in the Ouarzazate area, it is also possible to enjoy the adrenaline of quads in Morocco. It is the so-called Route of the Thousand Kasbahs, and this four-wheeled vehicle is ideal for getting to know these Berber adobe fortresses up close. Arriving at it ‘through the back door’, touring sand tracks, provides an even more authentic knowledge of the strategic locations of these castles.
Ifrane
Not only the desert is suitable terrain for quads: also the mountainous environments can be conducive to a route in this adventure vehicle. A good example of this is Ifrane, known as ‘the Switzerland of Morocco’ for being located in one of the wettest areas of the country (the Middle Atlas) and an architecture prepared for the snow. In this case, if the weather permits, it is possible to head to the National Park of the same name, where Barbary macaques are abundant. Entering this natural reserve, full of Atlas cedars, provides a different but equally exciting sensation.
