Tandem Paragliding near Marrakech

The most scenic way to see the Atlas without hiking: the tandem paragliding flight launches from Aguergour, a natural balcony on the High Atlas about 45 minutes from Marrakech. You're strapped in with a licensed instructor, take three running steps and you're airborne: 20-30 minutes over the valley, with Atlas peaks on one side and the Marrakech plain on the other.

No experience needed: the pilot handles everything, you just enjoy the view (and maybe hold the GoPro). From €55-70 per person with transfer from Marrakech included. Morning is the best window, when conditions are most stable.
