The short answer
Guided tourist rides in Agafay take place on desert tracks away from public roads, so operators do not usually ask for a driving licence. What matters is your ability to follow the briefing and control the vehicle safely. Riding a quad on a public road is a different situation, where traffic law applies.
Minimum age and passengers
- Drivers: operators set minimum ages and may check size and maturity. Ask before booking.
- Children: usually ride as passengers behind an adult on a quad, or beside an adult in a buggy.
- Weight and height limits can apply for passengers.
