Excellent excursion in the Atlas - Many thanks to Abdul for this beautiful excursion to the contrasting landscapes of southern Marrakech. The chicken tagine tasted at the homestay in a Berber village was excellent, much better than that served in our 5 star hotel. To do absolutely!

Excursion with Abdul to discover authentic Morocco - We had a great day with our guide Abdul who was very caring for us throughout the day to make us discover authentic Morocco! Meet us punctual 5 minutes from our Riad in a very comfortable 4x4 then drive to the desert of the agafay, the valley of the Asni, discover the atlas with breathtaking landscapes and have lunch in Sidi Fares with a Berber family with a magnificent panorama and a tagine simmered on a wood fire, a pure delight! Abdul is a highly educated guide who made this day memorable with a very reassuring ride on the small roads of the atlas! We recommend this tour!!!

Fabulous day to experience the desert and the stunning views from the Atlas mountains. A genuine experience. - This has by far been the best excursion I’ve ever done. Mokhtar is such a genuine person . It was such an individual experience , our lunch with the Bedouin family was the best meal I’ve had in Morocco. The views were stunning and the food delicious. It was difficult to see the destruction from the earthquake , a terrifying experience and we were happy that our lunch in the mountains was helping a small community. Highly rated must do if you’re in Marrakesh. Thank you Mokhtar for the best day.

Atlas mountains and a bit of desert plus lunch - Can’t thank Mokhtar enough for this fantastic tour. It was informative exploratory fun he’s a really genuine guy and a fantastic tour guide. We really felt we had an individual experience and although it was hard seeing with the earthquake damage, it was a big eye-opener . Thank you so much for giving us such a genuine experience .

caravane chamelière - We set out for five days to explore the desert: walking through beautiful landscapes Our guide, Mocktar, introduces us to nomadic life; the storyteller takes us on a journey into the world of storytelling and Arab culture. Practicality: I had the feeling of being safe the whole trip The food is excellent and plentiful, the presentation of the dishes amazes us with every meal The team of camels is totally caring for us Wonderful idea to discover the desert, through walking, storytelling and nomadic life; a magical and unforgettable moment.

Change of scenery in total calm at the gates of Marrakech and its hectic life - An outing in the Agafay desert perfect! First of all, a driver on time, with a prudent and safe driving (and in Marrakech, that , is not nothing!). Then a day in a dream place where we would have dreamed of seeing Robert Redford arrive to play "Out of Africa" again... A swimming pool in the middle of the desert in the setting of the old movies of the 45s. Everything was perfect! With an ecological side: solar panels to bring us comfort. Far from everything and close to the metropolis Marrakech... What's wrong? Nothing! The meal was perfect in a Berber tent with a splendid view of the desert.... We not only loved it, we loved it!
