Atlas mountains, waterfalls, Berber village and camel ride
LJS85,Apr 12, 2026

5.00We travelled as a family of 5 (kids aged 11, 9 and 6). This was one of the highlights of our holiday. The trek to the waterfalls took about 90 mins altogether, with some steep steps, but perfectly doable with children. The scenery was great and the lunch was very tasty. A great day out and very good value for money. Youseff was a great host.

5.00We had a great day trip to the Atlas Mountains with Youssef! We got to see many sights along the way and enjoyed a lovely nature walk and delicious lunch in the snowy mountains. The desert camel ride was the best way to end our tour. Thank you!

5.00Great value for money. We were driven around, stopped at many beauty spots for photographs, rode camels, stopped for breakfast, did a 1/1.5 hour walk through Berber villages to a waterfall, delicious food for lunch with great views. Both guides were amazing and very friendly. Many thanks

5.00We went to Atlas Mountain & Agafay desert with Jamal (out guide). We definitely can recommend this trip and Jamal as a guide. We spent lively time in a small group (only 6 people). We weren’t in hurry and we could really enjoy our time in beautiful scenery. Iwona and Pawel with kids.
Our day trip to the Atlas Mountains and Agafay desert was absolutely fantastic!

5.00Our day trip to the Atlas Mountains and Agafay desert was absolutely fantastic! Abdulaziz and Mohamed made it unforgettable. Abdulaziz, our guide, took us beyond the usual tourist spots, showing us the beauty of Imlil, his hometown. It felt like exploring with a friend! Lunch at his aunt's house was a delightful touch, truly embracing Moroccan hospitality. And let's talk about Mohamed, our driver – he navigated those mountain roads expertly. The vehicle was not just comfortable, but also spotless. It was a smooth ride, allowing us to enjoy the breathtaking scenery. The best part? Everything was perfectly paced! We never felt rushed, yet we covered so much. Kudos to Abdulaziz and Mohammad for making our day trip a highlight of our time in Marrakech. Highly recommended for an authentic and enriching experience! I must also commend the company's support – incredibly accommodating! When we had a few questions and needed assistance, they were prompt and helpful. It added an extra layer of comfort to the whole experience. With such a seamless and enjoyable day trip, we're definitely planning to book with them again in the future. It's reassuring to find a company that not only delivers an exceptional adventure but also provides excellent customer support. Can't wait for the next journey with them!
Excellent day trip to ride camels, see the Atlas Mountains and probably the best Moroccan meal you’ll have!

5.00Overall, our experience with Ibrahim was excellent and a really great value! We ended up doing the camel ride earlier in the day, since it was the hottest day on record in a while. Perhaps the biggest highlight of the tour was the traditional Moroccan feast we had at Ibrahim‘s home in Imlil up near the Atlas Mountains. After the meal, we hiked off the food to a up the mountain to see the waterfall. We were dropped off near our hotel at the end of the day. We were with our college bound twins and we all agree that it was one of the best day trips we took across our entire trip across Morocco, Spain and Portugal. Highly recommend!
Unforgettable experience
