Quad bike from Marrakech to Palm Oasis and the Jbilat Desert with hotel pickup, safety gear, mint tea, and 2 hours of riding.
“Loads of fun!!! We were picked-up from the well explained meeting point near our accommodation on time. After a smooth 30-40min journey we arrived and were promptly given a concise, but clear safety and quad bike operation instructions and given our helmet and goggles. It only took about 10 minutes after arrival before we were on the quad bikes! A short lap of a practice ring gives you some time to get a handle on the controls and then you are off! There is a good mix of smooth and fast riding as well as some slower for the more technical terrain The first stint is roughly 45 mins for…”
