Amazing day trip for nature and culture enthusiasts

The trip is just as good as my predecessors here in the reviews stated. We had Karim as our guide who was always very helpful, had great stories to share and made us laugh with his anecdotes. He helped us navigate a traditional Berber marked and have lunch at a local restaurant high in the mountains, showed us the beautiful nature and explained the way life has been in Marocco for the last decades and how it is changing. The trip is definitely not a sales attempt, even though I regretted not bringing my shopping funds as we walked through a Co-op in the mountains that allowes local artists to sell their air directly. If you like to hike you can tell your local guide in the Atlas Mountains and he might take you all the way up to the spring of the small river that flows into The Valley below. Up There you get an amazing view at the snow capped mountains of the high atlas and enjoy the solitude- but bring good shoes, a tiny climb is necessary. My friend and I would definitely recommend this trip and do it again.

Magic!

An unforgettable encounter with Abdul. It is an incredible kindness and allowed us to discover Morocco in an authentic way. We were in the Agafay desert with him and loved it so much that we decided to continue our excursions with him. Abdul took us to the ourika valley, we were able to have lunch by the river, and then we continued our journey into absolutely splendid valleys. This whole day was awesome. Abdul is an extremely nice person and we were able to learn a lot about the marocco thanks to him. When we return to Morocco we will make other excursions with him. Go ahead and you won't be disappointed!

Amazing Experience

Amazing experience! A must see while visiting Morocco. The host was extremely intelligent and helpful. Not only were the views spectacular but you also get to learn about the rich history within these mountains. The tour guide is also from a small village close to here within the mountains so it was amazing hearing about his life and general life in Morocco. He did an amazing job at communicating with everyone switching between English and French (speaking both flawlessly) 10/10 recommend.

Atlas mountains

We had a great trip with Karim who was very knowledgeable about Morocco and the area. It would have been nice to be guided on a good lunch spot as there were so many idyllic places but overall a great trip and would recommend the private tour with Karim and Abdul.

We made a friend in Morocco

Our first booking with Abdul was to have dinner in his home. He picked my boyfriend and I up at our hotel one night. He drove us to his home where his wife had homemade dinner waiting for us. En route we got know each other better through conversation. His car was nice and clean as well. There was no sketchy or uncomfortable vibe. We immediately felt that we trusted Abdul. He introduced us to his wife and daughter. We talked about Moroccan culture, history, America, traditions, our visit, and so forth. I liked that he would stop to translate to his wife, Laila, in Arabic - keeping her involved in the conversation. He was very hospitable and attentive. He mentioned that he also does a tour to the Atlas Mountains. We had no idea what it entailed but we liked Abdul so we were up for anything. He arrived on time once again and even gave us a few extra minutes to grab breakfast at our hotel. We picked up another person who booked the Atlas tour as well. We all talked in the car and Abdul would stop to tell us history of villages we'd pass through. We stopped at a street market where locals purchased vegetables, live stock, and clothing for Ramadan. We then visited an Argan oil site where we learned how their products are made. I loved that since we were in Abdul's hometown, so many people in the streets would wave to him or call him over. We then continued driving to a location where a local guide/friend of his escorted us up the Atlas mountains. The guide was kind enough to hold my hand half the time because I needed it lol. AND THEN a nice surprise, we had lunch in the even higher up in mountains prepared by his relative. Such a gorgeous view and refreshing to see a 600 year old home. The food was delicious and a unique experience overall. We always felt like we were in great hands and would recommend Abdul to anyone. Thank you so much for this experience, Abdul.
