Extraterrestrial experience on Camels with an amazing dinner in the desert in a tent. Will recommend - So, camels and kids, that's an interesting one. It was scary, but thanks to the guide it was doable with kids. The frequent stops were a good solution to travel with kids. We had a tagline with meatballs, lightly seasoned, it was amazing after a long day. The scenery felt like we were on Mars.

Aghafay with children - Hamid and his brother Youness did an excellent job with this tour. Hamid kept in communication with me from the time I booked until we were picked up. Youness was very kind and patient with my children, which included my very active 5 year young. He shared a lot with us about the region even before the tour started. We enjoyed learning why Moroccans pour tea the way they do, about the Amazigh people, the Atlas Mountains, the Aghafay Desert and Marrakech in general. I was curious about the cooking on the tagine so he arranged for us to tour the kitchen, which is not included in the trip. It was all a great experience for my family and one of our favorite parts of our time in Morocco.

The journey from Marrakech - We had a fantastic day on this trip to the Agafay desert. The drive from Marrakech was comfortable, with stops to admire the scenery. Once in the desert, the atmosphere is magical: calm, rocks, expanse as far as the eye can see, very different from the Sahara, but just as impressive. Our guide was very professional and caring — he explained the history of the area, Berber life and the natural environment. The time of the camel ride was very peaceful, perfect to reconnect with nature. Lunch in a Berber tent was delicious and typical, and we had the opportunity to enjoy mint tea in a very authentic atmosphere. The return from the desert was just as pleasant, with beautiful lights at sunset. In short: it is a super well organized excursion, balanced between adventure, culture and relaxation. I highly recommend this activity to anyone who wants to discover a more peaceful and authentic face of Morocco just a few kilometers from Marrakech.

Great experience in the Agafay desert - Thank you Hamid for this discovery of the Agafay desert. We visited an argan oil cooperative, took a camel ride with an excellent photographer and ended up having lunch with a succulent tagine in a Berber tent overlooking the desert. There were two of us and we recommend this private tour!

Amazing time in the desert - The desert was amazing to look around and visit even though it was a bit far away. However the ride there, was worth it as we got to stop around and take photos of the scenery
