Great trip with an amazing local guide - My friend and I booked the Atlas Mountains trip with camel ride included. I must say we chose well! We had Mustapha Amazouz as the host throughout the day. He proved to be very kind, polite and knowledgeable about the area. We did trekking through the mountains and had lunch accommodated by Mustapha. The camel ride was something which I’ve never done before and it proved to be a great experience. We can truly say it was an amazing adventure and highly recommend!

Atlas mountains day trips from marrakech - Our tour was a long day that was full of history, education and attention to detail. Our guide Ibrahim was incredible. He made us feel safe, always taking account to keeping us in view and making sure we were good and felt secure. He cared that we enjoyed our time and that was the best part of the whole tour. The hike was the best part and was invigorating to be in the mountains. He educated us and provided insight to a part of Morocco that we gladly wanted to know more of. This was the best tour and was a game changer for our time in Morocco. I came on the Atlas Mountains tour with my mum. Not too far into the journey it became too much for her and our guide Ibrahim made sure that she was taken back down the trail and spent the day enjoying in the guest house while the rest of us continued. The trip overall was great, Ibrahim gave us a lot of local information and made sure that we had the best day. The mountains are beautiful, the meal that we had was amazing and everyone (guide, driver and locals) made sure that we were happy and comfortable throughout. Would definitely recommend as a must do trip.
