Book this tour on a Tuesday to experience the berber market. Fruits there are cheap. Then buy argan oils at the factory shop, breakfast there is included. Then delicious lunch at Hicham's (our guide) house in the berber village,.Bring sweets to give to the kids in the village, or to the family of your guide. Kids will love it The waterfalls is magnificent, followed by camel ride and mint tea in Agafay desert. Bring water when you have lunch in berber village. There is a store near Hicham's house and we baught more wayer after lunch. Dont forget your sunglasses because the dust will go to your eyes during the camel ride especially when windy. This is a packed excursion. Must be fit to keep pace and to walk in the Atlas mountains. You can buy drinks at the waterfalls but don't swim as water is icy cold! Pick mint leaves on the way to the waterfalls, plentiful. Hicham's is an excellent guide and his family is super nice. His mum cooked our food! Dont forget to tip your guide as they spend the whole day making your trip unforgettable! I booked 3 trips in Morocco with viator and so far excellent! They will contact you before your trip and pick you up and drop you off from your hotel.
The tour was amazing. We went to the desert, ride a dromedary and after up to the mountain in a typical Berber house with a very generous and super tasty lunch. After that a little walk in the wood to reach a beautiful waterfall and on the way back to Marrakech we stopped by a woman cooperative making oils. The guide is a very professional, careful person. He was great and is travel tour is the best. Very recommended.
