The camp is great but the deckchairs are not in very good condition, nice show but very average meal, couscous is not great and we have been sick since that evening, while we spent 10 days in the hotel without any problem

During our stay from 20/09/2025 to 27/09/2025 in Marrakech, we participated in the dinner show in the desert of Agafay: the setting is beautiful, the meal is excellent and the show proposed magic.

Dinner show in a fabulous place in the middle of the desert, unfortunately the meal is not up to the place. You eat cold without plates or Cover with a deafening din at the beginning. The fire show and oriental dance are to be seen even if it is short for our taste. And the whole thing ends by doing the caterpillar on the dance floor. Lots of road to get there for not much

Thank you to Said for this superb quad bike ride that we could spend with family with a guide only for us. It was great, we enjoyed it. Thank you to the whole team.

Toute notre équipe vous remercie pour votre confiance et espère vous accueillir à nouveau très bientôt pour de nouvelles aventures à Marrakech !
We booked this tour based on reviews. I have to say it was amazing! Said and Mohamed were very friendly and nice to us. Views are breathtaking. It’s a must in Marrakech. We had a great time!
We didn’t know what to expect from this tour as there were so few photos and reviews. We picked this tour as we took our 1 and 4 year olds with us and wanted to be dropped door to door. Our driver was friendly and helpful (he kindly helped us carry our 1 year old up the steps!). When we climbed the steps to La Dune at the top it really took our breathe away, absolutely stunning views and a nice breeze so not too hot and plenty of shade. The staff were really attentive and helpful. We were unclear what food was included but enjoyed a small spread of snacks and requested watermelon for the kids. Based on how far away our hotel was we concluded that this tour was really good value for money and as our driver waits for us at the bottom he was immediately ready when we wanted to leave. I wouldnt suggest going on the tour if you have kids under 4 year old as ‘views’ aren’t really very interesting for them. If your kids are the chilled out type this would be fine, we took a few small toys up which kept them occupied for a while but sadly missed the sunset as our 1 year old kicked off. Another suggestion would be to arrive early if you want the place to yourself, we got there first and it felt really special to be there alone taking in the views from every angle. As we were leaving lots more tour groups were arriving. Overall this was an amazing and unforgettable experience, you just have to see the views for yourself photos don’t do it justice.
