What is paragliding?
Simply put, paragliding involves launching a broad, light, foot-launched glider from a slope or cliff. If you’re seeking for a memorable experience, tandem paragliding is a great option: you’ll never forget the sensation of being a bird in the sky, flying with nothing but the wind as your power source.
The fundamental tandem paragliding flight is an exhilarating adrenaline rush. No experience is required; your pilot will handle everything. Just sprint to the takeoff, then sit back, unwind, and take in the vista while smiling for the camera. A paraglider is a foot-launched, free-flying aircraft.
A tandem glider is designed to carry two passengers. A harness secures the passenger in front of the skilled pilot. Do not mistake paragliding for skydiving; you will not jump out of an airplane.
What should I wear while paragliding in Marrakech?
It is advisable to wear rubber shoes, long-sleeved shirts, and pants. Sunscreen and sunglasses may be worn during air travel.
