An amazing activity just outside the city, offering peace, friendly people, and the chance to enjoy nature and get close to animals like camels and horses. I highly recommend it. Ask for Abd Alaziz, the camel driver he is polite, friendly, and professional, and he knew all the best spots for incredible photos.

Helpful? Yes

An incredible activity. The guides were very friendly, kind, and attentive, taking amazing photos with genuine care. I highly recommend it. The desert is stunning, and the full activity with transport lasts about four hours.

An unforgettable experience, and the team behind it were incredibly friendly and professional.

Helpful? Yes

An exciting excursion, to say the least. Everything was perfectly organized: we received a message beforehand with the exact meeting point. After an hour’s drive, we arrived in the desert and put on traditional Berber clothing. We enjoyed a one and a half hour camel ride with Yousef, a kind, helpful, and friendly guide who took lots of photos, sang songs with us, and made the sunset the perfect backdrop for a memorable experience!

Helpful? Yes

Absolutely fantastic! A wonderful ride with stunning landscapes and an excellent guide. I highly recommend it!

Helpful? Yes

A great experience! The driver, Mourad, picked us up right on time, and after a 40 minute drive, we arrived at a spot in the Agafay desert for the camel ride. Although the sunset was partly cloudy, Abdul ensured we were positioned where the sky was clear and took literally hundreds of photos for us!

Helpful? Yes

We were picked up promptly by a driver and received an app beforehand with all the necessary information. Everything was very clear.

Helpful? Yes

Overall, it was a beautiful experience! The drive was very scenic, and the camel ride location felt truly like the desert, far from the roadside. Our photos came out amazing, and everything was very well organized.

Helpful? Yes

Fantastic! They were very attentive with us we sang, danced, and watched the sunset. The guide took as many photos as we wanted and more. Short but intense. A truly enjoyable experience.

Helpful? Yes

A fantastic private tour with a friendly and accommodating guide. The desert views and sunset were stunning. Our guide took many photos of us on our phones during the camel ride and afterward, capturing us with the camels and in front of the sunset. Definitely worth the cost. Everyone was lovely, and the transfer was punctual and efficient.

Helpful? Yes

The camel ride went very smoothly, although we couldn’t see the sunset due to the clouds. The tea served at the end was excellent, and the staff were very attentive.

Helpful? Yes

An amazing camel ride! Yousef was fantastic taking lots of photos and sharing plenty of helpful information. I would definitely recommend this experience.

Helpful? Yes

We had a lot of fun, and the team was fantastic. Perfect for the end of the day in Marrakech’s heat, and one hour was more than enough for a first camel experience.

Helpful? Yes

Camel ride and tea in the desert, complete with a bonfire, dancing, and music! Highly recommended!

Helpful? Yes

I really enjoyed this experience! Although the ad lists 1.5 hours for the excursion, that seems to refer to the time spent on site. From Marrakech, the total is about three hours roughly 1.5 hours for round trip travel and 1.5 hours for the camel ride and tea. Lots of fun, and I highly recommend it!

Helpful? Yes

We were picked up from our hostel and taken to the desert, where everyone was very kind and accommodating. We enjoyed a camel ride at sunset along narrow paths through the dunes. The guides were fantastic and took plenty of photos of us and our camels. Afterwards, we visited a camp where other tours were also present. We were served tea while enjoying drumming and singing around the campfire. Although not included in our package, we also got salad, bread, grilled meat skewers, and fruit while other tours had dinner. The guides were very friendly and shared a lot about Berber traditions. Finally, we were returned to the hostel. A truly wonderful experience and a must do on any Morocco trip!

Helpful? Yes

I can’t put into words how perfect this experience was. Despite what other reviews may say, this is an absolute must. Achmed and Youssif, who are brothers, were wonderful companions Youssif even had me singing and captured some of the best photos I’ve taken on my trip. Sayed and Aladeen, our guide and driver, made everything effortless. The views, the peaceful feeling of riding a camel, and the most stunning sunset I’ve ever seen made it unforgettable. Book this you won’t regret it.

Helpful? Yes

Othman was an outstanding guide and took beautiful photos of us with the sunset. The camel ride was fantastic! Many thanks to everyone, including the driver who even turned back because we forgot our jackets.

Helpful? Yes

This trip was incredible from the bumpy drive, which is part of the experience, through the Atlas Mountains, to visiting the Atlas Film Studios (a must see for movie fans) and the ancient Kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou. Words cannot describe it you really have to see it for yourself! Our guide and driver, Abdehaq and Massi, were fantastic very knowledgeable and funny. I had an amazing day!

Helpful? Yes

I chose this excursion to explore the desert on a camel and enjoy tea at the tented camp. It was an awesome experience!

Helpful? Yes

The guides were wonderful! If you read comments about delays, that was entirely our fault we were the first pickup and got stuck in traffic. They still waited for us! The sunset was stunning, and we took amazing photos. I highly recommend this experience!

Helpful? Yes

The driver was excellent, and the experience was beautiful. I would definitely recommend this tour. Professional, punctual, and full of good vibes.

Helpful? Yes

A camel ride of over an hour while watching the sunset over the Atlas Mountains. The guides were very friendly and eager to share everything about “their” camels.

Helpful? Yes

The transport wasn’t perfect, with broken seats and a window, but overall it was an excellent trip and great value for money.

Helpful? Yes

Everything was perfect. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset and took lovely souvenir photos. The guides were very kind and accommodating.

Helpful? Yes

Samir picked us up on time, and after a 45 minute drive, we arrived at the destination perhaps a little close to the road. We were slightly overdressed and rode in a caravan of eight camels with Abdul and Jusuf toward the sunset. The sunset was spectacular, and the experience concluded wonderfully with tea and music

Helpful? Yes

A trip to the desert with a very friendly driver who kept us entertained with music and Arabic lessons. The camel ride on the rocky desert was enjoyable. The local guides were excellent they offered tea under the tent and performed traditional music. Highly recommended!

Helpful? Yes

The transportation was comfortable, and the driver, guide, and staff were all very kind and friendly.

Helpful? Yes

Everything was wonderful and a lot of fun. The people on site were very nice.

Helpful? Yes

Everything was exactly as described. We were contacted the day before about the pickup location, and the driver arrived right on time. The minibus was clean and comfortable, taking us about 40 minutes outside the city toward the desert. The tour itself was relatively short. We began by putting on traditional dresses, which were clean and added to the excitement, and then rode our camels. We walked a short distance while the guide took some beautiful photos of the sunset behind us. Afterwards, we went to a tent for tea, which was very pleasant. Our camel guide was a young, funny guy who spoke excellent English despite living in the desert. I would definitely recommend this experience for families with small children.

Helpful? Yes

We had an amazing adventure in the stunning Agafay Desert. Everything went exactly as we hoped, with a special mention to Sofiane, our guide, who made the walk even more memorable.

Helpful? Yes

The camel ride was wonderful. The animals were a bit restless, but the seating was comfortable, and riding in the caravan during the evening light was beautiful. At the end, we enjoyed tea and music in the Bedouin tent. The overall atmosphere was very positive, and the guides were extremely kind. They took photos with everyone’s phones from all angles excellent experience.

Helpful? Yes

The camel ride was fun, and we met a group of Italian girls along the way who had us laughing nonstop! The final part with tea in the tent was very enjoyable, although the tent is unfortunately positioned facing west for the sunset

Helpful? Yes

A very enjoyable experience from start to finish. The entire trip, from pick up to drop off, was very well organized.

Helpful? Yes

The activity itself was excellent, with plenty of time to enjoy the experience. Finding the driver was easy, especially with a WhatsApp chat beforehand. However, after dismounting the camel and arriving at the camp, we were mixed with other groups and offered musical entertainment around a campfire, which wasn’t part of the program. Our driver was ready to take us back, and we might have left without trying the included mint tea if not for this. Overall, I still recommend the experience, but the organization could be improved.

Helpful? Yes

The transport was quite long as we stopped several times to pick up other customers. The price feels a bit high for the short time spent on the camel. That said, we had a wonderful time with Youssef, our guide, who patiently answered our questions and took plenty of photos to capture memories in the desert!

Helpful? Yes

Exactly as described. The rocky desert, just half an hour from the city, was beautiful. The camel ride was nice, and the welcome in the tent with tea was pleasant. Overall, a lovely excursion into nature.

Helpful? Yes

We were picked up as scheduled by the guide, who drove us to the desert. Upon arrival, we dressed in traditional clothing and began the camel ride through the desert. Afterward, we were welcomed into a traditional Berber tent, enjoyed their tea, and were entertained with their songs.

Helpful? Yes

It would have been better to walk on top of the dune rather than beside the road and fully enjoy the sunset. Riding toward the sun instead of having it behind us would have made the experience even better.

Helpful? Yes

Everyone was very kind. The guide took plenty of photos before, during sunset, and afterward. They sang songs for us and served tea afterward. Note: there were no restrooms available.

Helpful? Yes

The excursion lasted around three hours: two hours of transport, 35 minutes on the camel, and 15 minutes for tea. At per person, the price feels excessive almost like a rip off. I would not recommend this.

Helpful? Yes

Pros: We could dress in Berber costumes and take pictures. The staff took my smartphone to capture photos but let me review them and retake if needed, which was great. The camel ride was long enough, and the tea afterward was delicious with refills. The staff were very responsive once we arrived in the desert. Cons: I was concerned after reading other participants’ notes, so I double checked the meeting time and location multiple times. Since it was an evening tour, it was helpful to confirm during the day, but I initially couldn’t get through by phone. When I finally connected, the call dropped, and I couldn’t fully confirm. Later, I received an email around 4:00 PM with updated details the hotel pick up at 17:30 changed to 17:40 at KFC near Funa Square. The round trip took about two hours, one hour each way. It would be helpful if the tour description specified that the total duration is around 3.5 hours, including the 1.5 hour camel tour. On the plus side, we enjoyed the scenic views of Marrakech areas not typically visited by tourists.

Helpful? Yes

The price felt high for what was offered. The promotion promised pick-up at our riad, but we were later told this wasn’t possible it would be better to clarify this upfront to manage expectations. I recommend checking with your riad or looking at other Agafay desert experiences. The driver was nearly on time despite peak traffic and drove quickly as the sun was setting. He was friendly and helpful. The experience itself was enjoyable, with Karim as our guide, who took some great photos.

Helpful? Yes

The experience was beautiful, though unfortunately the sky was cloudy at sunset, so we couldn’t see the sun setting.

Helpful? Yes

The staff were very nice, but don’t expect a guide they didn’t explain what was happening. The tour was a bit dull for my taste, but the sunset landscape was stunning. Unfortunately, the camels didn’t seem very well cared for and were likely tied too closely together.

Helpful? Yes

The tour was well organized, and the driver arrived early at the meeting point. Unfortunately, the camels seemed very stressed. One camel was particularly restless, fidgeting and zigzagging because it had been separated from its baby. Only near the end did the handlers return the baby to calm the camel. For those unfamiliar with riding camels, this could have been dangerous. Aside from that, the rest of the tour was charming, with mint tea and traditional Berber songs.

Helpful? Yes

The camel ride itself was okay, but it unfortunately followed a busy road. There were no explanations during the tour, so booking in Arabic would have made no difference. The camels looked poorly cared for, and one even vomited during the ride.

Helpful? Yes

The pick up was punctual. The guide could have shared more information about the excursion. Otherwise, it was a calm walk in the desert, although along the side of the road.

Helpful? Yes

I had expected to see the sunset from the dunes, but the ride was along the road instead. Overall, a bit disappointing.

Helpful? Yes

No guide spoke English or French, and we couldn’t take photos with the camel during the sunset, which was disappointing since that was the main purpose of the ride.

Helpful? Yes

If you’ve never ridden a camel before, it can be an experience to try, though in my opinion the camels seemed stressed and tired. They were very nervous and tied closely together, so at times their heads and hindquarters got tangled when we stopped. Some became agitated multiple times. The ride takes place along and below the road, not deep in the desert as one might imagine. The staff were very kind and friendly, and the tea was excellent as usual.

Helpful? Yes

The trip was very enjoyable, though at times a little scary because the camel felt like it might stumble or fall.

Helpful? Yes

We were very pleasantly surprised! The driver arrived on time for pick up, and we had a great group of people with us. The camel ride wasn’t the most comfortable, but it was definitely an experience worth doing. The helpers were incredibly kind and took photos of us at every spot we wanted. Simply awesome!

Helpful? Yes

The experience is very good for the price. They pick you up from your hotel, take you to the desert, offer a camel ride of about an hour, and serve tea in a traditional tent before returning you to the hotel.

Helpful? Yes

An incredible activity! The guides were extremely friendly, kind, and attentive, taking wonderful photos with genuine care. I highly recommend this experience. The desert is stunning, and with transport included, the entire activity lasts about four hours.

Helpful? Yes

A very enjoyable experience. The desert sunset is truly magnificent. Definitely worth doing.
