Soaring over the Agafay Desert by paraglider is an experience that will transport you to another world entirely! In front of you, the desert hills will reveal the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas, whilst you take in an aerial view of Lake Lalla Takerkoust. Open to anyone aged 5 and above who can run a few metres for take-off, this tandem paragliding flight from Marrakech requires very little effort on your part yet delivers a genuine adventure!
The activity begins with a shuttle service from your accommodation in Marrakech. Along the way, you'll already notice the landscapes shifting and growing wilder. On arrival in the Agafay Desert, your instructor will explain everything you need to know to make the most of your first paragliding flight and provide all the necessary equipment (Niviuk / Supair gear, regularly renewed). For 10 to 20 minutes, you'll soar safely above the Agafay Desert, drinking in the scenery whilst your instructor takes care of all the piloting.
Far from Marrakech, this paragliding flight above the Agafay Desert is a unique opportunity to enjoy an authentic experience amongst Berber villages and mountain landscapes. You won't just be discovering the scenery of Aguergour — you'll be immersing yourself in Moroccan culture, and even have the chance to savour a glass of mint tea. For your comfort, the excursion is organised in small groups (10 participants per guide max), and the transfer from Marrakech makes reaching the departure point straightforward, even without a car!
Available year-round and ideal for families, groups of friends, and solo travellers alike, this paragliding flight from Marrakech is not to be missed during your stay in the Amizmiz region!
