About Quad Ouarzazate

Quad Ouarzazate is a local operator based in Ouarzazate, guiding quad, buggy and horse rides through the desert, valleys and film landscapes around the city. We also organise private day trips and desert tours across southern Morocco.

A local team in Ouarzazate

We are based in Ouarzazate and we specialise in quad and buggy tours that go beyond the usual. With deep local knowledge of the terrain, the villages and the desert trails, we guide you through hidden valleys, palm groves, rocky plateaus and the cinematic landscapes that made the region famous.

Our guides are locals who know the paths and the stories behind them, whether you ride for one hour or for a full day.

What we offer

Every quad, buggy and horse ride follows one of five routes from Ouarzazate, from a short first ride to a complete day in the saddle or at the wheel.

  • The Kingdom of Heaven film set, one hour
  • Kasbah Tifoultoute and the cinema studio, two hours
  • The Fint oasis and its Berber villages, three hours
  • Ait Ben Haddou, the UNESCO listed ksar, half day
  • A full day combining the main sites
  • Private day trips with an English speaking driver to the Draa Valley, the Valley of Roses, the Todra Gorges and the Berber villages of the High Atlas foothills
  • Desert tours of two to four days to the dunes of Erg Chebbi and Erg Chigaga, with a night in a camp and a sunset camel ride

Safety on every ride

Helmets and safety equipment are provided for every quad, buggy and horse ride, and your guide rides with you from start to finish. The pace and the route are adapted to your experience, so first time riders and experienced drivers can both enjoy the trail.

On longer rides, such as the full day quad tour, the day begins with a safety briefing before departure.

Ouarzazate, a city shaped by time and light

Ouarzazate lies at the foot of the High Atlas, among earthen kasbahs and the sets of the films shot here. In the Berber language its name means "without noise", yet the city has a great deal to say about the people and landscapes that made it.

For centuries Ouarzazate linked the fertile oases of the Draa Valley with the wide spaces of the Sahara. Caravans carrying spices, gold and stories passed along its rugged tracks. The Amazigh, the indigenous people of Morocco, were the first to live here, and their resilience is still visible in the clay walls of the old kasbahs.

Over time African, Jewish, Arab and European influences joined that heritage. This mix of cultures gives Ouarzazate its character: warm, hospitable and a little mysterious. Today the city is also known around the world as a home for filmmaking, with studios and desert scenery that have drawn productions for decades.
