Best experience - This tour was truly incredible! Ayoub, our guide, was fantastic—he provided thorough explanations and made sure everything ran smoothly from pick-up to drop-off. The dinner featured an array of delicious Moroccan dishes that we thoroughly enjoyed. We also visited an argan oil factory, where we learned about the production process and were treated to Moroccan tea, jelly, peanut butter, oil, and bread. The camel ride and ATV adventure were both exhilarating, and I'd recommend dressing comfortably as things can get a bit dusty. The vehicle was spacious, air-conditioned, and very comfortable. Thank you for an unforgettable experience Ayoub!

Value for money trip to the Desert. - I went along with my partner and we had Rabiaka as our host. It was a really nice easy afternoon. There was nothing to worry about as Rabiaka communicated pick up and made sure everything was organised throughout the day. Day started with a pick up from 3:45 not far from our Riad. We stopped off at an Oils and herbs place which was great to break up the drive a bit. We then headed to the desert where we had a short canal ride. The rest of the group went on a Quad bike ride, we opted to sit and relax by the pool. Dinner was very nice with a good environment. Would recommend

Fantastic experience - My wife and I had a great time. Our host Dinah was very welcoming and enthusiastic. They picked us up and dropped us off directly from the hotel. Camel ride and quadbiking in the desert was a great experience, and the food was very nice too. Very good value for money!

Best part of our holiday! - Our tour guide Dounia and driver Yassin were amazing and very helpful. Dounia went the extra mile to ensure we didn’t miss out on any of the activities which made it a brilliant experience for our group. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel which was very convenient! If you’re in Marrakesh I highly recommend this tour ! Being out in the desert on a camel and driving around on a quad bike was such an experience and the food provided was lovely too.

Magical Moments in the Agafay Desert - This was a truly memorable experience and by far one of the most enjoyable things I did here in Morocco, with my group. The whole event was quite well-organized, which added to the overall experience. We were picked up and brought to the Agafay Desert, where we rode camels for about 15-20 minutes. To be honest, I don't think I could have done much longer as they were quite uncomfortable, but it's all part of the experience eh. Riding the camels at sunset and taking photos of the mesmerizing view from the desert was something I had never experienced before. After the camel ride, we had dinner, which consisted of a chicken tagine with potatoes, couscous, chickpeas, and bread. We all ended up sharing, which was rather nice. To top everything off, there was a desert campfire where everyone gathered to enjoy the music, dancing, singing, conga lines, and an impressive fire breather. All in all, it was about 5 hours, but this was a truly enriching experience for the weather, the people you meet, the food, the culture, the music... Everything! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it if you are in Morocco; this is something you just have to do!

Pretty good - Started off with picking us up, pretty punctual and helpful. Took us to an argan oil stop first where we had bread and tea. Then a short ride to the camels. This was very good fun, the camels were relaxing. Afterwards, we were served food. The food could have been better, was not our taste. Finally, there was an entertainment show, including a very cool fire show. Our tour guide was Rabia and she was very lovely and helpful!

Just "fine" - "hotel pickup" was half a mile from our hotel. - It was fine, however their idea of Hotel Pickup stretches the concept to breaking point, the actual pick-up point was half a mile from our hotel in the searing heat, this was not a great start. We then got dropped at an Aragn oil place by the side of the road where they tried hawking a load of their products, we had to go and find our driver and tell him to get on with the trip. The camels were not in a great state and the "fire show" was laughably just some fires lit with a bunch of locals dancing around and pulling a conga line together from the audience. However, the food was good and value for money was reasonable. Given the there were hundreds of people at the event, maybe find an operator with a better review who understands the term "hotel pickup" if this is important t you.

Not great. Do your research - I booked this experience mainly for my young children as they had been longing to ride a camel for a while. I dont know if i have just been spoilt with experience in the past but ive done some fantastic camel rides across the sahara and various other deserts, leading to small intimate camps where dinner was cooked in front of us and a campfire was lit, with berbers singing and playing traditional music. If that is the sort of thing you are after then this is not it. This was completely the opposite experience of what i wanted my children to have. On arrival to the camp there was loud R&B charts music playing throughout really busy camp, could barely through the amount of people. People swimming in the pool but the water looked gross, had litter floating in it and slime on the top of the water. We were sat at a table with no shade until our camel was ready, and then we were hurried on to the camels and when i say hurried, the camel man literally shoved me on, no time to take photos or chatter, ushered me on saying Go Go Go. He took my phone to take some picture for me but i wanted to do this myself before getting on to be honest. Camel trek was less than 15 minute in total, and packed in a line of about 20 other people. Was meant to be a sunset ride but it was no where near sunset, still had about an hour to go. Driver picked us up from hotel and stopped at yet another argan oil place en route but our baby was asleep in the car and none of us wanted to get out and see more argan so we told him to carry on to the camp. We were told dinner was chicken and rice, no veg only options and 4 of us dont eat meat. The music was just awful, couldnt stand it any longer, so we made the decision to leave and go back to our hotel for dinner. Also had to buy drinks out of a vending machine. But the point being there shouldnt be a vending machine in the desert, just takes away from the feel of it all. I wanted our children to experience the fire show and traditional berber music but it just felt like more of a nightclub in a scruffy part of the desert, really nothing appealing about it whatsoever. We took what nice photos we could of the sun setting, and our driver was lovely, even stopped to let us take some photos of the sunset on the way back to the hotel, but the whole thing was so tragic that we just skipped the meal and evening altogether. Not a nice experience. Pay extra for something more intimate and if you want a proper sandy desert you need to take the sahara trip not Agafay.
