Soar above the Kik Plateau, then trade the sky for a camel’s sway across the Agafay Desert. This half-day combo combines a tandem paragliding flight with a short camel ride and Berber tea at a desert camp.

You lift off from a wind-scoured ridge above the Kik Plateau and Marrakech shrinks to a pattern of ochre roofs while the Atlas Mountains stand like a distant wall. The paraglider pulls you forward; air and light do the work, the pilot guiding a quiet arc. Below, the Agafay’s stony plains and low dunes spread out—an unexpected, moonlit-like landscape that seems to dare you to explore it by foot or camel.

You lift off from a wind-scoured ridge above the Kik Plateau and Marrakech shrinks to a pattern of ochre roofs while the Atlas Mountains stand like a distant wall. The paraglider pulls you forward; air and light do the work, the pilot guiding a quiet arc. Below, the Agafay’s stony plains and low dunes spread out—an unexpected, moonlit-like landscape that seems to dare you to explore it by foot or camel.
This pairing of tandem paragliding and a camel ride is rooted in the region’s geography and culture. The Kik Plateau’s thermals form above hard, uplift-prone ground carved by erosion, while the Agafay has long supported semi-nomadic Berber communities who brewed mint tea as a marker of hospitality. The local geology is mostly compacted sediment and gravel plains—not sand seas—so vegetation is sparse but resilient and the horizon feels vast.
Expect about three to four hours: airport- or city pickup, safety briefing, roughly 20–30 minutes in the air on a tandem flight, then transfer to the Agafay for a short camel ride and tea at a Berber-style camp. Guides provide gear and instruction; physical demands are low but you should be steady on your feet for takeoff and mounting a camel.
Plan for sun, wind, and quick temperature swings; layered clothing, sun protection, and a small daypack make the day easier. Choose a morning flight for calmer air or late afternoon for dramatic sunset color. Respect the landscape—pack out waste and follow your guide’s route to minimize impact.
Yes—tandem flights pair you with a licensed pilot who controls the wing; follow the safety briefing and pilot instructions for a safe experience.
Limits vary by operator but typically there are upper weight limits (around 100–120 kg / 220–265 lb) and minors may need parental consent—confirm at booking.
Most tours include air-conditioned vehicle pickup and return; confirm your pickup point when booking to coordinate timing.
Comfortable, modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees is appropriate; bring a light scarf for dust and extra layers for evening chill.
