Spectacular Agafay desert experience - My husband and I had an amazing experience at the Agafay Desert. We had an excellent driver and guide in Mustafa. Our Journey back and forth was filled with stimulating conversations about history and politics of Morocco, North Africa and the middle east. Mustafa was very courteous and knowledgable. The camel ride at sunset with young Abdul was very enjoyable. The three course meal was delicious. Everything was smooth like clockwork. The live music was a good surprise.

The company was very nice and Mustapha was very attentive and friendly at all times, we would definitely repeat it and we had a very fun and beautiful day.

Unforgettable Experience with Atlas Mountains Tours to Agafay desert 🏜 - I recently booked a tour with Atlas Mountains Tours and had an unforgettable experience. The booking process was simple and easy, and I appreciated the clear communication from the company leading up to the Private Dinner tour.
Our tour guide was Mustapha knowledgeable and friendly, and did an excellent job of showing us around the Agafay Desert. We visited several popular attractions and landmarks, and learned a lot about the history and culture of the area and delicious meal at the camp .
The tour itself was well-organized and ran smoothly. We never felt rushed or overwhelmed, and had plenty of time to explore each location. The transportation provided by the tour company was also comfortable and reliable.
I was impressed by the quality of the experience provided by Atlas Mountains Tours, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a memorable and Romantic Dinner tour. Thank you for a great experience!

An amazing day - Came on this trip with Mustafa as our guide and was absolutely blown away, we saw many beautiful and varied landscapes, incredible views the whole time. Ibrahim was our guide during a hike around the mountain villages, guided our party in multiple languages to cater for everyone. A highlight was visiting Road Atlas 4 seasons, where we ate tagines with a rooftop view of the Mountains. We also rode camels, and the drive itself was beautiful, a great way to see a lot of the landscape surrounding marrakech in one day, definitely worthwhile!

The hike itself was amazing but the organization poor. - The hike itself was amazing but the organization poor.
Annoyingly poor communication - Until 1 hour after the official pick up time we didn't really know if the trip was on or not! A day in advance we tried contacting the local agent but with no success. This not only meant that we didn't know if it would actually happen but also no insights into what to pack and what expectations for a 2 day trip. The group had a 9 and 11 year old and 2 x 75 year old grandparents so we wanted to make sure we were prepared.....
The hike experience was beautiful. 5/5. More challenging than expected due to the steep initial climb. Then a sprinkle of snow at the top of the pass added to the excitement. Fortunately we had just enough good clothing!
The route is challenging but beautiful. The accommodation was perfect for the experience and the food was great. It was a lovely experience. Day 2 hike was much easier. The last 4-5km is on a main road so you could request the pick up where the trail joins the main road, especially with kids. Many fabulous family photos.
It all finished with a late lunch before heading back to Marakech.
Omar was a lovely, energetic and fun guide and entertained the kids whilst the older members of the group trooped on up the hill.
