Tripadvisor gives a Travelers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travelers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Morocco’s Desert Agafay lies within day-trip distance of Marrakech and it's the best thing to do instead, Desert Agafay is not a Sand desert - but more sandstone and earthen plateau, Traditional mud-built villages, dusty riverbeds are interspersed with spectacular sumptuous pasture and vegetation in springtime. There we have a tea with the locals. The combination of these three valleys brings you into the fertile valleys where daily lives of the indigenous Berber cities moves with time honored traditions. Immerse yourself for a day and discover the real Morocco as you travel through this ancient landscape with its many hidden treasures and incredible vistas.

          Mountain and waterfall day trip
          We were collected outside the Bahai Palace at 9 and dropped back off at 6. Initial stop was a camel ride and then to a women’s co operative that sold oils. We then drove to the town close to the ourika waterfall and had lunch at a house on the outskirts of the village. Lunch was very good and plenty to eat. We then walked to the waterfall and was driven back to marrakech which took about 1 hour 20 mins. The trip was great value but would benefit from the guide talking about some places you pass and some history during the time on the mini bus. Lunch wasn’t served until 3/3.15 which was too late. The same oils were sold at another cooperative on the walk back down from the waterfall so I didn’t understand why we don’t stop there which would have brought lunch forward at least an hour and meant we arrived back at 5. Overall great value and a good opportunity to see more of the country.

          Great day out!
          We both really enjoyed our day! The tour guide is very passionate and informative about the history of Morocco and his people. The home cooked food for lunch was amazing and the scenery is glorious. I recommend this tour.

          Superb, worth every penny and more
          Ibraham was our guide and looked after us for the day. Pickup was seamless. The camel ride and Berber village stop were great with traditional tea and snacks. Followed by a demonstration of the argan oil process. Finally, onto Atlas Mountain for lunch, the best tagine in Marrakech so much food for our group of 9, and the hospitality was second to none. Then for those wanting to, the trek. I stayed at the home and was offered tea. The family were so warm and welcoming. I would recommend this tour 100%.

          Highly recommend
          The tour was amazing. Abdulaziz was very friendly and informative. The best part was the visit to his family home with a tagine lunch and a chat about Amazigh (Berber) history. The hike to the waterfall was also really lovely. Everyone we met was incredibly warm and welcoming. Would definitely do this again.

          Atlas Mountains and Amazigh Villages Tour
          I really enjoyed Atlas mountains and Amazigh villages tour. Ibraheem (Abdulaziz) was a great tour guide. We did camel 🐫 ride, visited Amazigh villages, had lunch hosted by Amazigh family, then finally we did hiking🚶‍♂️. It was undoubtedly an amazing experience.

          Definitely one to recommend
          We had a fabulous day out with Abdulaziz and Abdul our driver. The trip gave us much more than we expected. Starting with clear communication around local pickup in a lovely comfortable minibus through to the visits we made. Abdulaziz is passionate and knowledgeable about the local area and is able to explain how history has affected language and writing and why Berber people are living in the High Atlas Mountains. The desert stop was just right, enough time to have a short camel ride and photograph the scenery. Moving into the mountains we had a lovely local lunch and a trek to the waterfalls. Probably the highlight of the day but it would be hard to choose. Definitely recommend this trip.

          An authentic Berber experience, not to be missed
          We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Agafey desert, Atlas mountains and Ibrahim's village. We learnt so much about Amazigh people and Morocco in general thanks to Ibrahim. The food was delicious and the views were truly amazing.

          A Truly Memorable Experience
          It’s not everyday you come across a tour that not only meets your expectations, but completely surpasses them. Such was the case with this tour, guided by the wonderful Abdulaziz. From the camel ride and visit to the Woman’s Argan Oil Cooperative to eating a wonderful Tajine and hiking through the Atlas Mountains, this was really memorable experience and definitely the highlight of my trip to Morocco. The tour was very well structured and there was never a time where I wasn’t engaged in the journey, be that by the local music played during the way or the casual conversation with our guide. Moreover I would also like to mention the hospitality and care given to us by providing water throughout the trip. If you’re still deciding where to go or not, do yourself a favor and book it. I doubt you’ll come across something with such value for such low price.

          Great experience, nice food, magnificent view
          Great experience! Welcoming, punctual, friendly, very helpful. We were family with elderly. They let our parents stay at the house after lunch because they can’t go for hiking and they send them at the meeting point after hiking before depart back.
