Memorable Experience of Morocco desert - This is a memorable itinerary for us in Morocco. We were surrounded by the large, wide and brown landscape of Agafay as we oversee a dam, housing, did the camel rides on the terrain and have dinner. We had a close up experience seeing the remarkable strength of the 'boats of the desert' as we ride the camels. We then have Moroccan cuisine seeing the sun sets and surrounded by darkness and quiet in the desert. We appreciated our driver Abdelghani for his careful driving (especially in the night) and sharing much abt Morocco/Marrakech with us. Thank you much! شكرًا لك

Calm and serenity - A camel ride that left us with a beautiful memory. The kids also loved it. We enjoyed driving through the villages with Abdelghani, he is cultured, knows how to tell us about the history of his country. He is respectful, very nice with our children, and speaks French very well. Thank you for your friendly welcome. Meeting someone like you was a blessing for us.

MUST-DO EXPERIENCE WITH THE NICEST PEOPLE! - This experience is a MUST-DO! Abdelghani and the family were super nice and so accommodating. We decided to do a morning ride rather than the evening and Abdelghani had no problem picking us up in the morning and making sure everything went amazing. He even told us the history of Marrakech and Morocco along the ride. I could not recommend this experience more, it was truly amazing!!!

Sunset Camel ride Experience - This was such a surreal experience. The location was beautiful and the people were so friendly. Abdelghani is such a genuine, friendly, and helpful person. He had so much knowledge about the area and gave us helpful tips on how to enhance our stay in Marrakech. I truly enjoyed myself and would definitely do this again and recommend this to anyone looking for a magical experience!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! - This activity was such an amazing experience that I will never forget! I had a great time learning about the Berber people and spending time in the desert, drinking tea, and of course riding the camels. It’s truly a experience you will never forget which is why I think this should DEFINITELY be a place to visit while stopping in Marrakech. Everything from the tour guide, to the journey was so professional and smooth. My friend and I had so much fun and will most definitely do this again if we ever come back!

Loved it so much we did it twice (and would go again!) - My kids and I loved this experience so much we did it twice. We rode camels through the dunes to watch the sun set in breathtaking surroundings, and then returned to a tent to eat a delicious Berber meal and drink tea in a nomad's tent around a fire. The second time there was music! There are clean bathrooms nearby, and the camels are easier to ride than I feared (I'm middle aged and not very agile). Abdelghani is our favorite guide! His English is excellent, and he is kind, responsive, and knowledgeable. He is very careful about choosing the best spots, and he loves to share the beauties of Morocco with guests. This ride was only about 50 km from Marrakech. The other desert excursions are much farther, but this has everything you would want nearer to the city.

Breathtaking! - Truly breathtaking. The camel ride was an unforgettable part of our trip to Morocco. Abdelghani was an excellent guide -- friendly, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and professional. He shared lots of cultural and regional history with us on the drive to the Berber village. Once there, we were served delicious mint tea and were helped onto our camels. The ride was easy, relaxing, and not intimidating at all (about 40-60 minutes with very chill camels), and the views were incredible. The guides took pictures for us as the sun went down. Then, we had a delicious meal by candle light with a camp fire and music in the background. Can't recommend this enough -- the pictures don't do it justice!
