“This trip was excellent value for money and such a memorable experience! Our guide, Oussama, was absolutely fabulous; friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting insights, and our driver was great too, making the whole journey feel relaxed (safe) and enjoyable. We loved the camel ride in the Agafay Desert on the way to Imlil, a really lovely experience that felt both relaxing and fun and some lovely mint tea at the Berber camp. A small stop at a local village for a basic breakfast was nice, where we watched argan oil made locally. Once in Imlil, we enjoyed a scenic walk with gorgeous views of the Atlas Mountains.

Review of a $26 Atlas Mountains day trip from Marrakech with camel riding, Berber villages, hiking, mint tea, and homemade lunch.
“An excellent day trip to explore some villages in the Atlas Mountains. Our guide Lachen was excellent, he translated everything in 3 languages so the whole group got the same information. It was impressive! The hike itself was around 2 hours. There is uphill walking, and also recommend sturdy shoes as there’s a lot of uneven ground on the way down. The included lunch was very tasty. Cannot fault the trip for the price we paid for it. Definitely recommended if you have the time.”

“Wow, what a wonderful trip! Badr was an exceptional host and paid great attention to all of us making sure we were all happy and comfortable. It’s really worth booking this itinerary for beautiful walks up to the waterfall (take sturdy shoes!) - we also had a gorgeous stop at the women’s cooperative where they hosted us with tea and their homemade amlou and honey. Buy your argan oil here! Our hiking host was also wonderful. Lunch is excellent and good value too, the most beautiful setting after our hike. A day perfectly spent - thank you so much Badr!”

Rabia came in the morning to pick us up and we joined the excursion. Her excellent English language skils, charm, knowledge of the area is very impressive!! We decided to get another excursion with camel ride and dinner in the desert. She was very quick to explain how the transfer to Mohammed's group would happen.
