Amazing and Memorable - This was the most memorable part about my trip to Marrakesh. I had such a wonderful time. Dinner was delicious. Camel ride was short but fun. It was great to be able to experience that. I definitely want to invite others to try this. Hammadi was fantastic!

Marrakech Sunset Camel Ride and Dinner in the Desert. - Great escape from the crowded streets of Marrakech that starts with a stop at the argan oil manufacturing place in Agafay where you are served traditional Moroccan tea and get to know the process of making the oil and other products made from the argan nut.
After that you proceed to the deser to experience the camel ride and traditional Moroccan cuisine and songs and dance by the camp fire.
Brilliant place to take pictures of the sunset as well as stars overlooking the valley. Outstanding performance by the hosts that involves dancing and singing under a starry night.
One recommendation: if visiting between November and February prepare warm clothes as it gets pretty cold in the desert.

Incredible from start to finish - What an unforgettable evening! Sunset alone was enough to make it special, but our hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and happy. Dinner was so good (actually the best tagine I had during the Marrakech portion of my travel) & the music beautiful. Our group's driver, Tariq, was so kind. Even the camels were sweet and welcoming (though our time with them was too short). And I appreciated that the trip included a visit to support a women's cooperative that produces argan oil.
Highly recommend.

Camels, dinner and sunset - Transportation from the Medina made this excursion very easy. Stopped by a women’s cooperative that makes argan oil products. Went thru a Berber village damaged by the earthquake. The guides dressed us up like desert travelers, making this even more fun. The camel ride was short, just long enough. Dinner of chicken tangine, vegetable soup, and fruit in cream was very good. We ate as we watched the sunset. After dinner we were entertained by a quartet of traditional Berber musicians and a camp fire. Would recommend this activity.

Excellent tour to get a taste of Morocco at its best. - This tour was the highlight so far. Excellent communication from tour operators to ensure smooth pick-up arrangements. Transport in minivan with very welcome AC. One stop en route at Argan Oil production factory (weren’t pushy about making purchase which was unusually pleasant) . We even befriended 2 lovely lads from our own city which added to the experience. Met with 2 other groups on arrival at Agafay. Short camel ride but plenty of time to get the obligatory photos in Nomadic dress. Watched the sunset from the dune (partial cloud obscured the sun but was still stunning). After dark we all sat around a log fire and ate a very satisfying 3 course meal. Veg Soup with bread followed by chicken tagine & flatbread and fruit salad to finish. Final segment of the night was the very entertaining traditional Moroccan band who even finished with a rendition of Africa (Shakira) . They got everyone involved with instrument playing and dancing (without a hint of alcohol) which was great. After 4 hours / great photos/ bellies full we headed back to our Riad. Thoroughly enjoyable evening and would highly recommend.

Magical Camel Ride and Dinner In the desert of agafay - This tour was.Truly magical. I felt like I was transported back in time. The Berber hosts were so gracious. The guys were just so amazing - friendly, aware and very good at making sure everybody enjoyed themselves. The setting was authentic and the atmosphere so relaxing and perfect. Our tour guide was engaging and knowledgeable. He took the time to drop everyone as close as possible to their hotels instead of the drop off point.

The other side of Marrakech where everything was amazing 🤩 - We started by leaving the city and first stopped at the argan oil cooperative which was truly unique experience. The woman there were such great energy and very informative. The camel ride was amazing experience, such kind beautiful animals. Our dinner was extremely tasty and vegetarian friendly. To end the night with music around a fire, under the stars was just breath taking. A very authentic experience. Our driver was very helpful and provided water for us on our journey. When arriving back in the city he drove us to our Riad which was extremely appreciated.
