Marrakech Desert Trips

An absolutely fantastic tour! We loved every minute of our trip and our tour guide Rachid Mazik was brilliant. He was very helpful, friendly and informative. He was very caring, well-mannered and supportive of our mum who needed more time for the hike, and tried to cater to everyone’s needs. The tour is very well structured, we got to see a bit of everything - from camel riding, to drinking traditional tea in a Berber home, and experiencing wonderful mountain views of the Imlil valley. We had tagine for lunch and it was amazing, we ate on a rooftop with a stunning view of the mountains. My mum and sister are vegetarians and they also enjoyed their food. Just wear good hiking shoes and ENJOY :)

So so amazing!! Went to all the local places that we wouldve otherwise never experienced. Youssef was AMAZING! So courteous and interactive with the tour. If you are to do 1 tour here, I recommend this one. We ranged from camel riding in the desert, to waterfalls, to local markets. So awesome!

Really great! The services are remarkable: pick-up and return. For the quad, I think you still need a good driving experience. We are not driving on a highway!!! That's exactly what's great. The desert in stony dunes in ascents and descents, the unexpected discovery of an artificial lake, a 2nd break with tea served by Berbers... An intense half-day for a frankly ridiculous price.

The camel ride was a fantastic experience. There was an issue with the transportation. When we booked the program we were told that the driver will pick us up at our riad at 17:30. On the same day we received a message (in the early afternoon hours) that the exact pick up time is 16:30. Unfortunately we didn’t have internet so we received the message later. We were lucky that we arrived back to the riad from the city exploring around 16:30, we planned our day to be back by 5pm in order to be on time. So we almost missed the program. It would have been nice to receive such details early enough and not on the same day as it can’t be expected that everyone has internet abroad all the day. It should have been communicated during the booking that the pick up is ~1 hour prior the program start but during the booking it was clearly stated that the pick up is at 17:30. Other than this it was a great experience.

We were picked up at our accommodation and taken to the desert quad and camel location with 2 other guests. Quad bike experience was slowed down by the pace of some members of the group therefore we missed the sunset but the experience was still great fun and the horizon views in the desert were beautiful at this time of day. Dinner was the best part of the evening. Great atmosphere and was brought tea and nuts, a starter, tagine and fruit. Well paced throughout the night with musicians and dancers while it got dark. The place offered for us to stay the evening or a 10:30pm or 1am ride back into Marrakech. Drop off at a central location rather than back at the accommodation because the minibus you come home in can’t travel the smaller streets in Marrakech. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to experience a day trip to agafay.

It was our pleasure to have Mohammad potato as our guide. It was a privilege to have met someone as friendly, fun, helpful, and full of life as him. We also loved getting to know his home town which is so beautiful and full of friendly people. If you are lucky enough to get Mohammad as your tour guide, I assure you that you will be covered :)

We had an excellent day trip out with Abdul our guide. Ready for the trip our collection was delayed slightly but Abdul kept in contact to ensure we knew they were on their way (I can’t remember the drivers name). Turns out I’m terrified of camels but Abdul made sure that I was comfortable and able to swap to a camel that was more serene. This was really appreciated. The tour around the Imlil was really interesting as local knowledge was amazing. The lunch provided was plentiful and far too much for 2 people to eat. Overall the trip was made amazing by such a good tour guide, full of interesting facts and no question was ignored. Abdul was also keen to learn more about those taking the trip - now he just needs to remember that ‘Ey Up’ is a Yorkshire way of saying hello! Thanks Abdul (and Ahmed) for great communications and a wonderful trip - highly recommended.

We really recommend this tour to get to know truly the moroccon culture with a native guide. We definitely had the best meal of our stay during the tour in the Berber house where this family welcomed us warmly and cooked for the group. They were very nice to welcome my request to have a vegetarian meal and it was amazing. Everything was excellent but what made it so perfect was with no doubt our amazing guides Youssef and Mostapha. These young guys are passionate about their job, available for the many questions we had, accommodating and very nice. Really recommended!
