Palmeraie quad ride FAQ

Do I need quad-biking experience?

None at all. The quads are automatic and easy to handle, you get a full briefing and a practice loop, and the guide sets the pace to your group. Beginners ride safely on every departure.

How long is the quad-biking excursion?

A half day of about four hours door to door, with roughly two hours of riding. It runs in the morning or afternoon, so it pairs well with an Agafay sunset or a medina day.

Is there a minimum age or licence requirement?

Drivers are usually 16+ (no licence required on the private tracks); younger children can ride as passengers with an adult. Let us know your group and we'll confirm the arrangement.
