What To Expect
With this day trip to Takerkoust Dam and Agafay Desert, you can relax in the peacefulness of the desert and countryside. At 9.00 a.m., our drive will pick you up from your hotel and drive to the west of Marrakech. The journey is shadowed by beautiful foliage, olive and orange groves, and goes through the tiny village of Ait Imour, from which we shall deviate off the beaten path. Then, you drive through a diverse landscape of rocky desert, arid light brown plateaux Oasis, and high hills with panoramic views of the High Atlas.
Imlil
After a few hours, small spots of green will appear, and you’ll soon be back on the tarmac road, flanked by old eucalyptus trees. You’ll arrive at the brink of the Lalla Takerkoust lake, which was erected as a dam to provide electricity to Marrakech. You will reach the Nfis valley by small hills beside the dam, passing through Berber towns and arriving at a Berber family home. Then, you will carry on driving to to Ouiragan via the forest, traditional salt pools before getting to Asni, a small town (market on Saturdays) with a view on Toubkal the highest peak in North Africa. After that, you will follow another road to Imlil valley.

5.00Yasin was great! He was able to pick us up from the hotel and take us to the desert to ride the camels. Mine was named Fatima couscous. Our desert guide was also great and he took wonderful photos - very charming and funny! After that Yasin took us to a beautiful restaurant with a view and a few other spots to take photos - he had great recommendations and was very friendly the whole time. They were very flexible and great with communication too. Definitely recommend especially if you only have a day or 2 in Marrakech.
A fantastic way to explore and discover Marocco

5.00The tour was amazing and gave me the chance to discover many traditional things of Marocco and it's different cultures. On top of that Mohammed and Salah - our tour operators - were really friendly and available to give hints and information regarding the places where we've been as well as in general about Marocco.

5.00The trip was spectacular! Very attentive crew and great service. The camel ride was amazing and the photos that they took of us were so detailed and personalized that it seemed it was taken by a professional. There was a whole interactive musical show before and after dinner, and dinner was delicious! The weather was also incredible since it was not too hot and we were able to admire the views. Said, who was our guide, was also amazing and it was a great pleasure to deal with him. Overall an incredible experience and highly recommend!
Amazing experience!
