A day from Marrakech, the Moroccan desert of Agafay is an easy alternative to visiting the Sahara desert further south. With this private tour, avoid the hassle of a self-guided trip and combine the Agafay Desert with a trip to the Atlas Mountains. Explore the Berber villages, drink a tea at home, go to an argan oil cooperative. Cross the Kik plateau, and finish with a 30-minute camel ride in the Agafay before finishing with a meal in a Berber tent. I have more than 42 years of experience as a guide, I can help you in all your excursion in Morroco. I live in the Atlas, near Marrakech city.

5.00A very nice experience. Hamid welcomed us very well at his house, the rooms are comfortable and very quiet. It is located on the route to Toubkal, allowing you to make excursions away from the chaos of Marrakech. The food at Hamid's is very good. I recommend:)
Very good experience

5.00Hamid and his brother Youness did an excellent job with this tour. Hamid kept in communication with me from the time I booked until we were picked up. Youness was very kind and patient with my children, which included my very active 5 year young. He shared a lot with us about the region even before the tour started. We enjoyed learning why Moroccans pour tea the way they do, about the Amazigh people, the Atlas Mountains, the Aghafay Desert and Marrakech in general. I was curious about the cooking on the tagine so he arranged for us to tour the kitchen, which is not included in the trip. It was all a great experience for my family and one of our favorite parts of our time in Morocco.

5.00We had a fantastic day on this trip to the Agafay desert. The drive from Marrakech was comfortable, with stops to admire the scenery. Once in the desert, the atmosphere is magical: calm, rocks, expanse as far as the eye can see, very different from the Sahara, but just as impressive. Our guide was very professional and caring — he explained the history of the area, Berber life and the natural environment. The time of the camel ride was very peaceful, perfect to reconnect with nature. Lunch in a Berber tent was delicious and typical, and we had the opportunity to enjoy mint tea in a very authentic atmosphere. The return from the desert was just as pleasant, with beautiful lights at sunset. In short: it is a super well organized excursion, balanced between adventure, culture and relaxation. I highly recommend this activity to anyone who wants to discover a more peaceful and authentic face of Morocco just a few kilometers from Marrakech.

5.00Thank you Hamid for this discovery of the Agafay desert. We visited an argan oil cooperative, took a camel ride with an excellent photographer and ended up having lunch with a succulent tagine in a Berber tent overlooking the desert. There were two of us and we recommend this private tour!
Amazing time in the desert

5.00The desert was amazing to look around and visit even though it was a bit far away. However the ride there, was worth it as we got to stop around and take photos of the scenery
