Highlights
  • High Atlas Mountains - Leave the city behind and discover some of Morocco’s wildest and most breathtaking scenery on this full-day, multi-faceted tour. After pickup from your hotel or the meeting point at 9:00am, you will be driven 90 minutes from Marrakech to the heart of the Atlas. At our first stop we will take pictures against the backdrop of the scenic Tahanout village and visit a women’s argan coperative where you will enjoy some Moroccan tea and taste fresh argan oil before the ladies explain their work. Then we will continue our drive to the Atlas Mountains where our walking adventure will begin. We will pass through the quaint Berber villages dotted throughout the Imlil Valley–stopping as frequently as you like to rest and take photos– then enjoy a lunch prepared lovingly in the traditional Moroccan way by a local family.
    Afterwards we will drive to the heart of the rocky Agafay Desert for a camel ride at sunset. We will drop you back off at your hotel between 7:00 pm and 9:00 pm

Best tour ever! - We went on this trip months ago and completely forgot to rate it!! This was our favorite tour by far. Camel rides in the desert, hikes in the Imlil valley, and having lunch with his mom and neighbor made for the perfect day in Morocco. The guides were so kind and we’d definitely do this tour again if we find ourselves in Marrakech again!

Amazing experience, fun time with lots of background knowledge - Definitely a once in a lifetime experience for families too, even with young kids. We have 4 children aged 17, 15, 10, 6. The two younger were offered a mule back ride during most of the hike, so we all could enjoy the experience together in the same pace. Our tour guide was Elhoussain’s brother Hamid. He really went the extra mile to make the day unforgettable for everyone. His valuable insight knowledge of the Berber culture was very interesting. His enthusiasm, energy and a never ending big smile on his face made us welcome from the first moment we have boarded his mini bus. He explained many personal aspects of their culture, about their festivities, how they get married, what life is like in the Atlas Mountains, etc. We went on the trip on a Tuesday precisely because we wanted to experience the weekly market in the valley. Hamid explained us so many things that we would have never known from the travel books. We were with another family of 6, it was fun to get to know other travellers too! Hamid has invited all of us to his home in the village on the top of the mountain where his lovely Mum and his younger sister prepared a delicious Berber tajin for us. We ate on their roof top terrace with a magnificent view and blue sky and solid sunshine! It was truly a unique experience!! My family and I are very grateful for this wonderful day that we will never forget!! Thank you very much Hamid for making our holiday special! Ah, the camel ride is super fun! Just get on with it and you will love it!! My 6 year old has insisted to ride one alone and she did. The people who were involved were all very kind and cheerful. We also had the chance to see 3 baby dromedaries! Oh yes, and tea is offered everywhere! Enjoy the ride lucky traveller, it’s worth every minute!!

One day trip - The guided trip was very good! Elhoussain’s brother, Hamid, provided us with lots of information about the places we went to visit, including history, tradition and a deep knowledge of the place. He also enjoyed answering to all the questions. I can definitely say that this trip provided us with the best value we could get from each service: new taxi, guided visit at the Argan farm, photo stops, hiking to 2000 mt height. Hamid took us to his home where we had a delicious traditional Berber lunch. The trip ended with camel ride. This family run business reveals how Berber are proud of their cultural heritage and their openness to share it with the rest of the world.

Day trip - Great tour and especially thanks to Hamid. We booked the private tour and there was nothing missing. An insight into the world of the Berbers and marrocain culture. The day started with a funny camel ride. It was good to see how pretty the camels live. The boys takes care of them. Lucky camels. Afterwards we went to the argan farm. A womens cooperative. We took a look into the production of oils, honey and cosmetics. Our highlight was the hike and the tasty lunch at Hamids home. His mother is a fantastic cook. The lunchtable was prepared on the terrace in front of the Mountains. Stunning view. All in one, we had a perfect day with Hamid!!

Wonderful! - Hamid was a wonderful guide and a gracious host. The tour began with mint tea and a camel ride, included a visit to an argan oil coop, and concluded with a gorgeous hike and a delicious tajine. Not only did we get to experience the glorious vistas of the High Atlas, but Hamid was a great teacher--he answered all of the questions we had about life in Morocco. If you are looking for a nice rural break from the chaos of Marrakech, and are interested in experiencing a little slice of Amazigh life, this tour will be perfect for you.
