Highlights
  • Marrakesh - Pickup from your accommodation in any where in Marrakech or we can meet you outside of Café Argana at 9:30 am (in Jamaa el Fna square). From there we will rdrive and begin our journey to the High Atlas mountains. Our first stop will be a peaceful place where you’ll be dressed in traditional Berber clothes and enjoy a camel ride. Next we’ll drive to a women’s argan oil cooperative (Asni Valley ) where there will be a bread & oil tasting with Moroccan tea.

Next stop will be Imlil Valley (altitude 1740 m), the picturesque and lively valley which will be the starting point of our 1 to 2 hours hike. It is a nice place with a fast flowing river, walnut trees and very traditional Berber villages dotted throughout. From here we will start our walk with a leisurely stop at our family charming home where you can take in the stunning view from the rooftop terrace while you enjoy a delicious Berber lunc.

After lunch we’ll continue our walk through the Berber villages and pass by a spectacular waterfall, after which we will find our car waiting to drive us to Marrakech (arriving back in the city at approximately 5:30pm).

Additional Information

This magical dinner in the Marrakech desert makes it simple to enjoy a night outside the city’s bustle by providing round-trip transport from your hotel to Agafay.

Leave the bustling city of Marrakech behind and drive to the desert of Agafay for a unique experience that includes a thirty-minute camel ride at sunset and a three-course Moroccan dinner around a bonfire and under a star-filled sky.

Agafay possesses an authentic desert ambiance that can leave you awestruck and speechless.

After arriving in Agafay, disembark from the comfortable travel and embark on a thirty-minute camel excursion, savoring the awe-inspiring vistas of the looming Atlas Mountains and the striking surrounding rocky terrain. Following the camel journey, a refreshing mint tea is offered at sunset, followed by a scrumptious three-course Moroccan feast served by the crackling campfire, accompanied by the harmonious strains of Moroccan music.

After the meal, there will be ample time to absorb the tranquility of the desert and gaze upon the stars before we commence the return journey to Marrakech.

The best experience of my life - It has been an unforgettable experience, I recommend everyone who comes to hire this service! From the pick-up to the camel tour, dinner, argan oil, show and the return with incredible people, each and every one of those who assisted us and especially our guide Mustapha who has been very attentive and a great human being! I left very happy and an experience that I will always take with me in my memories!

YOU HAVE TO DO THIS!! - This was the best experience I have ever been on! A camel ride whilst the sun sets in the desert is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. And the three course meal was delicious. We were treated to an authentic Moroccan sing song around the campfire too which was great! The fact that we were picked up and dropped off from our hotel was the icing on the cake.

Awesome Atlas Mountain guide - Our guide Babala is excellent. He is very attentive, knowledgeable, and has great language skills. He really has great energy and enthusiasm. He grew up in the valley and knows the locale and it’s history. Highly recommend him!

Amazing Journey - We had a very great trip to the Berber-Villages and the Desert of Marrakech. Our guide Babala was extremely friendly and helpful. You get a nice introduction into the local culture. The food was tasty and breakfast is included (we didn't even knew that ;) ).

Lovely trip in the Atlas Mountains - Our guide Babala and driver Khalid were both excellent - very knowledgeable and friendly. The camel ride was great fun and the meal very nice. An excursion to the Atlas Mountains is a great antidote from the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh, very beautiful.

Atlas Mountains & 3 Valleys and camel ride You must do this tour! AMAZING - The name on this review has come up differently our tour was slightly different than the one we did ours was named Atlas Mountains and three valleys private tour and camel ride . Our driver was awesome and Babala our hiking guide was absolutely amazing ! He was fun , polite , knowledgeable and a pleasure to be around The camel ride was well managed and fun , the hike up the mountains to the waterfall was a real hike and the views were stunning and worth every penny . We have tea in a Berber house and then continued on to have lunch in another village on the way down. The food was gorgeous !!!!! Everyone involved in our tour was top draw and we would do it again (especially if Babala was our guide) the tour is about 7 hrs it also includes visiting the women who make the Argon Oil products it’s really interesting and you can buy some great products

Without the camel ride it would have been amazing ! The dinner experience is 10/10 - The trip didn’t start well but the dinner left us with good feelings. I’d say between average and good. - Please be aware that the times stated on TripAdvisor are summer times!!! They texted us in the middle of the day that it is not possible at 6pm (when we booked the trip) because the sun is already set by 6pm. It was 1,5hours before pickup time. For this reason we weren’t able to see the Bahia Palace. They will ask you to confirm tho, so try to find a place with WiFi if you don’t have internet. We didn’t, so it was our luck that I saw the message. - We were picked up by another driver, than the one that was messaging us, because of time management. A family was very late and messed up their whole schedule, so that driver picked us up and dropped us off at some random street, where our original driver met us. This could have been communicated but we found it adventurous. We sat on the front seats which was comfortable. - Our driver was a nice man but I think he was a little bit stressed, because that family was extremely late and they argued with him. They probably didn’t see that the times changed from 6pm to 5pm. They didn’t pick up the phone when he called them either. - Since we were late, we were rushing with the camel ride, poor camels were hit (not hard!!!) and yelled at, just for our entertainment. Thought I’d never ride a camel again (2 days later we rode camels again but they were handled in a nice way). The ride was about 10-15 minutes ? Maybe less, but it was super rushed, I didn’t feel safe at all. The camels were bumping into each other because of the speed and their necks were bending. I literally thought I’m going to fall at any given second. We agreed with my boyfriend that it is possibly so because we were very late. - The sunset was beautiful but couldn’t enjoy it much because I was focused on not falling. - After the camel ride we drove to the spot for the dinner. At this point we were still disappointed but the dinner changed our experience. - We were welcomed with mint tea, which was amazing, they call it “Berber Whisky”. The waiters were extremely friendly. The food was nice, might require a bit more salt for me, but that’s personal opinion - They lit up a campfire, which was really nice because we were freezing - Here came the thing that changed our experience the most, they started singing and dancing around the fire and made us stand up too. If you are shy stay in the background because they will dance with you by taking you by the hand. - After that our driver drove us home. Overall experience: - We felt rushed but the day ended well. Wouldn’t necessarily do it like this again, would skip the came ride, but the dinner is well worth it!
