Two ways to drive
Both are the same machine. The difference is whether you take the second seat.
Buggy or quad?
People ask this every day, so here is the honest answer rather than the expensive one.
| Quad | Buggy | |
|---|---|---|
| Feels like | A motorbike you sit on top of | A car with no doors |
| Protection | Helmet and goggles | Roll cage, harness, helmet |
| Rough ground | Slower, more physical | Absorbs it — you keep the pace |
| Two people | One behind the other | Side by side, both can talk |
| Licence | None | Car licence to drive |
| From | €35 · see quads | €70 |
How far you get
Buggies cover more ground per hour than the quads, so the two-hour ride reaches the far riverbeds.
| Ride | Where you go | Solo | Duo |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 hour | Valley loop and the first ridge, with the open flat section where you can use the throttle. | €70 | €90 |
| 2 hours | Across to the far riverbeds and the shepherds' tracks, tea stop at a Berber hamlet. | €112 | €144 |
| Half day | Three hours over the plateau to the reservoir viewpoint and back the long way. | €154 | €198 |

Buggy questions
Do I need a driving licence for the buggy?
Yes, to drive you need a valid car licence and to be 18 or over. Passengers need neither — a passenger can be as young as 8.
What is the difference between a buggy and a quad?
A buggy has a roll cage, seat belts and a steering wheel, so it feels like a car and takes rough ground better. A quad is lighter, more exposed and cheaper. Nervous first-timers usually prefer the quad; anyone who wants speed prefers the buggy.
Is the buggy price per person or per machine?
Per machine. Buggy Duo carries two people side by side for one price, so two riders pay €90 for the hour rather than €90 each.
Can we swap driver during the ride?
Yes, as long as both people hold a car licence. Tell your guide at the tea stop and you can change over there.
Will we get dusty?
Yes. The buggies are open and Agafay is dust. We give you goggles and a scarf — wear something you don't mind washing, and keep cameras in a bag between stops.
