An amazing day trip to Atlas mountain …. - Omar was very very kindly and helpful more than I expected.
He ask me all times if I want to take more pic or video.
The price was very very good
We get a ride of Camel for 15min
We visit and tried a tropical Berber breakfast
And we learn much about culture and information about different village
We had an amazing lunch with our group.
We walk hiking about 2-3 hours I think we raise to 1700m over the sea.
So I was very satisfied with our trip ( I will not be able to do anything if I stayed in the Center of Medina and it will cost me more times )
I recommended Omar 100%
I will make editing and make a video about that on YouTube ( Wesam Shaya )

An experience in every sense of the word - Omar is a fantastic guide and this is an experience in every sense of the word. You'll have fun, you'll visit amazing places, and you'll learn the history of a region and its people. And on top of all that, Omar and his familiy invite you to have a traditional lunch at their house. An unforgettable experience.

Brilliant experience in the Atlas mountains with the most friendly host you can wish - Camel driving, learn about the Berbers, hiking, culture, specialties from kitchen Morroco. And Omar taking photos as much as you want. Every tour reserves a host like Omar. A fantastic day!

Fantastic day trip by excellent local guide. - We had a fantastic day. Our guide Omar comes from the area and has a lot of knowledge and stories. The trip starts with a fun ride on Camels, includes a delicious local lunch and has a hike in the beautiful Atlas mountains. One of the best guided trips we ever had.

Beautiful scenery, excellent food, great and interesting guide - Omar took myself and a friend on a ~7hr tour of the Atlas mountains that included ~3hr gentle walking, a camel ride, a stop for tea and to learn about the production of argan oil (much more interesting than it sounds!), a delicious meal, and many interesting facts and explanations. His manner was welcoming and professional, and he was very friendly and informative. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody looking to explore the beautiful Atlas mountains scenery while learning about the rich history and culture of the Berber people that still inhabit them.

Fantastic excursion and guide - An excursion with Omar not to be missed . The dessert, the trek to the mountains, the camel ride, the visit to the Argan oil factory, the fantastic lunch provided by Omar's family, the waterfall all thoroughly enjoyed topped off by our wonderful guide Omar telling us all about the morroccan people, culture and history. If you can ask for this guide please do. A very kind caring and humble young man. Would highly recommend.

Best of the best : - "Absolutely amazing experience, the best all-in-one day trip I’ve ever been on in any country. Still can’t believe that I was able to experience so much in just a day. Mustapha is the best host I’ve had in Morocco and he made the trip fantastic. I am only in Marrakech for 2 days and I don’t think I could have possibly had a better chance at seeing so much in Morocco without this trip. Every part of the day was great, the stops for tea and some food, the hike into the Atlas Mountains, the stop at the waterfall, and then lunch in Mustapha’s beautiful village. Mustapha is always exceptionally knowledgeable about not only the Berber communities but Morocco as a whole. He told us tons of great stories and answered all of our questions. Can’t say enough about how great of a host he was, definitely book this trip, whether you’re in Marrakech for a short time or not. I’m confident no other tour could be as good as this one"))
