Our experience in the... - Our experience in the Agafay Desert was amazing from start to finish. The guide was friendly, professional, and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the trip. The camel ride was peaceful and offered beautiful views of the desert during sunset. The food was delicious, fresh, and authentic, and the fire show at the end of the night was entertaining and unforgettable. Everything was well organized, and the atmosphere was magical. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Morocco!

Harakat our tour guide was fantastic - Harakat our tour guide was fantastic, he kept in contact with us to let us know pick up point and times and was extremely attentive throughout the trip. His minibus was well kept and very clean and he seemed to know everybody we passed. The camel ride was great fun and I like to think that the camels were well looked after. There was a bit of a wait for the people who went on the quad bikes so he took us to see Lake Lalla Takerkoust. When we all met up again we took a short drive to the dinner venue where we were entertained by a great band. Dinner was very tasty and just enough for everyone in our group. The sunset was lovely and the fire act brought the night to an exciting close, as always the trip home was quicker than the trip out. Great value for money, I would highly recommend this trip and hope you get lucky and get Harakat as your guide.

Great group experience - We enjoyed this experience as a group and had beautiful views of the Atlas mountain. The entertainment and food was good and Harakat took us to see a beautiful sunset on our way to where we ate. Had a great time! We had a severe celiac intolerant person in the group so we just brought our own packed dinner instead.

Agafay Desert Experience - The Agafay Desert experience was really good! The light show and entertainment was the best part and a sight to see! Harakat was our awesome driver and did his best to pick us up on time whilst combating Marrakech traffic. I do recommend one thing and that is being provided an approximate pickup time the day before rather than the day of. I was provided the pickup time a little over an hour before my time. Other than that, I had a great time! Thank you!

Enjoyed the Tour, But Pickup Was Too Early - This was a great experience overall. The one issue we had was with the timing and coordination. We booked only the camel ride and night show, but we were picked up early together with guests who had booked the quad bike experience. Because of that, we ended up waiting in the middle of the desert while the quad bike group completed their activity. I understand the company may combine pickups for convenience, and the staff was kind enough to offer us a complimentary quad bike ride, which we appreciated. However, it still would have been better to schedule our pickup closer to the actual start time of our activities rather than having us wait for a different tour experience we did not book. We could have used that extra time doing something else.

Too long wait times before dinner and show - Great entertainment- but entirely too long of wait times before dinner and entertainment. Camel ride is great , but spent hours once we got to dinner/entertainment area waiting before dinner (meh) and show. Singers and especially fire show was great, just entirely too long waiting. Taxi ride (arranged by tour a little scary also)
