“Absolutely amazing!!! Mohammed was in contact with us 24 hours before to make arrangements for picking us up from our accommodation. We are staying quite far out from the normal places and this still was no problem for him. He collected us from our property and took us to our activities. We stopped at a local place where some women made natural argon oil products. My wife and daughter loved the products and bought some bits on the shop. After this we drove into the mountains and did the camel ride first. This is only a quick stop but was plenty. Then we went to the quad ride. This was…”

“A must do when visiting Marrakesh, worth every penny.”
Trade Marrakech for Atlas villages, waterfalls, argan oil, rooftop tagine, Kik Plateau views, and a camel ride across Agafay.
“Having a tea and a lunch in Atlas was absolutely fantastic. We were traveling with Abderriham Didi and Abdul Aziz, our guide and driver, and they were the most excited and caring guys. Organizing was smooth and the trip beautiful. The only weaker point is that we weren’t that excited about the camel ride.”
Ride a camel through Marrakech’s Palmeraie, visit village paths, wear traditional clothing, and enjoy mint tea for $26.
“This was a fantastic outing! It was perfect for someone that wanted that experience of getting outside of Marrakesh but not too far! It was also perfect for someone that had never been on a camel! The driver, Youness was exactly where he was supposed to be at the exact time. He was friendly, kind and a great conversationalist. He was exactly what you need in a driver. On the camel ride you wear traditional clothing and you have tea afterwards with your guide. Our camel guide, Ibrahim, was the sweetest young man. I had 1000 questions and he very patiently answered them all! He has a great sense of…”

“Horrendous. Totally unprepared for the rain though it has been forecast. Soaked, freezing, stranded. I know the weather is not anyone’s fault but this meant no fire show and extra fees for a taxi home, it was unorganised chaos in the desert.”
Review of Marrakech’s Agafay quad and camel tour, with Atlas Mountain views, Moroccan lunch, argan cooperative stop, pool access, and practical booking advice.

Escape Marrakech for an Agafay sunset camel ride, Moroccan dinner, live music, and a thrilling fire show for $25.
“It was an incredible experience and probably the highlight of our trip. We were travelling with a toddler and a baby with 2 prams but the transportation was very good. We did not need to walk very long distances. We also skipped the camel ride and were able to stay at the first camp and relax and enjoy. I would say it would be more fair to pay less for kids as my baby slept through most of it and didn’t even eat any of the food, but we still paid the adult price for him. The views of the desert were breathtaking, the camps were so beautifully decorated, really…”
Review of Marrakech’s Agafay Desert tour with quad biking, camel rides, Moroccan dinner, music, and a fire show for $37.
“We were picked up from the hotel and taken to each stop, first stop seeing how argan oil is made and an opportunity to buy some products followed by a moroccan tea and bread. We then went on to the quad bikes and camel ride which were both amazing. We then headed to a spot for a three course meal and live show before heading back to hotel. Saida, the tour guide was amazing and overall the trip was incredible. For the value of the trip it should be more for what you get. Couldn’t recommend enough!”
Pick a medina, a mountain road or a stretch of dune.
