Best experience in Agafay desert - Very suggestive experience in the Agafay desert booked through our Riad for me and my daughter (two ladies on their own!). A very professional driver took us with a minibus (about 1 hour drive) to the place where the walk with the dromedaries began. An excellent guide, Said, escorted us on foot for the entire path and looked after us kindly and helpfully. A professional photographer took many photos of us that we purchased at the end of the tour. An unforgettable excursion made unique by the professionalism and organization of the entire team: kind, discreet and attentive people. Big thank to all, especially to Said!

Would Definitely Go Back! Recommend! - The experience was absolutely fantastic. The location would be quite difficult to reach if you were not a local so we were glad of being collected from our hotel. On arrival you are warmly greeted and provided with appropriate sun protection for your head. I would recommend trousers. Our Guide was Moussa and he was an absolute gentlemen. He treated the camels with such love, knowing their names and regularly talking to them. It is clear this location treats their camels well! They take you out for a good trek where you stop for bottled water which they provide in a cup of and take pictures of you if you desire with your camera. There is an option to have their photographer provide you with their photos and on seeing them after the experience I was very happy to go with his professional shots which are emailed to you within 24hrs, they were much more natural pictures as you are forget he is taking them on your trek. On return you receive a beautiful Crepe and tea which was lovely. There was a a family with us and unfortunately the company were unsure if the ingredients were gluten free so be prepared if this is an issue. Couldnt recommend highly enough for the cost and overall experience! Thank you!

Book this tour now! Very good! - Amazing experience with the camels, the perfect ending before our trip back home. It’s a small tour with very kind and knowledgeable people. Also, they provide an extra picture service and that is also great! You never notice the photographer but the pics are incredible! We loved it! Definitely recommended!

Wonderful Experience (Thanks Moussa) - The team were absolutely amazing, picked us up from our drop off point and brought us to the location. Its a beautiful area and outside of all the hustle and bustle of the medina. Our guide Moussa was extremely helpful and nice, making us little camels from palm fronds as we trekked. The tea after our ride was the best we've had during our trip and the traditional pancakes were delicious, served with honey and oil. Would highly recommend and would be tempted to book another tour with them when we come back again.
