Amazing day at the Atlas Mountains! - I made a day trip to the Atlas Mountains with my friends. We hiked, saw beautiful valleys and waterfalls, and the astonishing Agafay desert! A delicious traditional lunch was served in the home of our superb guide Hamid. We can warmly recommend this trip and it’s organisers to each and everyone of you!!!
Thank you so much Hamid & Co 🤗

All we wanted - covered! - Elhoussain was a truly lovely man who my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the company of in our half day trip to the Atlas Mountains and the Agafay Desert. He is a proud and passionate Berber who gave us a great insight into their culture.
His colleague, Hicham, was also great and an excellent driver, particularly over the desert tracks!
The journey was leisurely, interesting and most importantly at the pace we wanted. We have fond memories of the day and wouldn’t hesitate to do another, longer tour with both of them should we return to Marrakesh. Book through their company Atlas Dream. You won’t regret it. Thanks again!

An amazing experience that I recommend to all. Thank you! - A welcoming time for all to enjoy. A memorable day learning about, and becoming part of the Berber culture. A fun experience, walking through Berber life, being as peaceful as it was lively. A warming home experience, where delicious food and drinks were provided, as a beautiful view accompanies us. I highly recommend this experience to any tourists who wish to see, and understand the true Moroccan way of life.

Magical Day in Morocco - Elhoussain, was an excellent guide. The whole day was packed with amazing sites, people, and food. If you have a day to spare in Marrakesh, I would absolutely recommend you to spend some time with Elhoussain - he'll show you a more personal side of Morocco. Hope to visit again soon!
