Why Agafay is great for solo travellers
Getting to the desert alone by taxi and negotiating activities on site is tiring. A shared outing solves everything: you are picked up at your riad, you ride with a small group and you return safely at night. Most solo travellers book the 1-hour quad or the full quad, camel and dinner combo.
Meeting other travellers
Dinner shows seat guests at shared or neighbouring tables, and tea breaks are a natural moment to chat. Many friendships start around the campfire.
Safety tips for solo women
- Book with an operator that identifies the driver and confirms by message.
- Share your pick-up details with a friend or your riad.
- Dress practically — trousers and closed shoes are needed for riding anyway.
- Trust your instincts and keep your phone charged.

Budget for solo travellers
Shared activities are priced per person, so solo travellers pay the same as others. Private trips and buggies are priced per vehicle, which makes them more expensive alone. See Agafay prices explained.
