Half a day (4-5 hours) — Agafay desert quad biking (£40/person): 30 minutes from Marrakech, lunar landscape, perfect for groups wanting adrenaline without a full day away.
Full day (8-10 hours) — Ourika Valley (£27/person): waterfalls, Berber villages, Atlas mountain scenery, riverside lunch. The classic Marrakech day trip. Or Essaouira (£36/person): the blue-and-white Atlantic coastal town, 3h from Marrakech.
2-5 days — Desert circuit (from £200/person): Zagora (2-3 days) or Merzouga (3-4 days). The most memorable experience you can have from Marrakech — Saharan dunes, camel treks, luxury bivouac under the stars.
