This was the worst!!!! No one ever reached out. I reached out to tripadvisor and Atlas Mountain (the tour provider) but they never responded at all!!! One hour before the scheduled pick up, they sent a message it was cancelled!!! This ruined our plans as we had a fixed itinerary every day! Why does tripadvisor publish scam tours??? They refunded but the point is, you ruined a part of our vacation!!!
It was canceled a day before. So nothing of it, disappointing. No alternative was offered either. We did get our money back
I enjoyed the trip. Beautiful place and nice people. Pool and sunbeds around, all complemented by nomad style seating in an oasis and great food. Camel riding was a great experience for a European. For me, great
Magical evening, little camel tour, sunset more than beautiful, very good meal. Great staff, and care. Berber song with participation. More than pleasant setting. I highly recommend it.
It was incredible experience! Everything was perfectly organized. We are satisfied with the hotel pickup. Camel ride was exciting and the sunset was breathtaking. Dinner in the camp was delicious. We had tea by the fire while listening to Berber music live and so the atmosphere was magical
An unforgettable evening in the Agafay desert! Everything was smooth from start to finish comfy transport from Marrakech, amazing tagine under the stars, and a peaceful, intimate setting. The Gnawa music and fire show added the perfect touch. A magical and authentic Moroccan experience. Highly recommend❤️Thank you
The meal was delicious, with an absolutely beautiful view of the desert .. Sunset in a memorable place, an unforgettable memory, thank you for your kindness!
It started with engine revs and ended under a sky full of stars. From the moment Nourdin greeted me with a warm smile outside my Marrakech riad, I felt at ease. The ride out of the bustling city was peaceful, the car spotless and comfortable, with Moroccan music playing softly as we drove toward the desert. The excitement truly began with the quad bike adventure. I’d never ridden one before, but the team gave clear instructions and made me feel safe. Soon I was bouncing over rocky trails, a scarf wrapped tightly around my face to shield from the dust. The vast, rugged landscape unfolded around me—golden hills, scattered stones, and a sky that seemed to stretch forever. My laughter echoed in the warm air as we paused for breathtaking photos. After the adrenaline, the camel ride felt like stepping back in time. Youssef, our kind handler, helped us onto these gentle creatures and wrapped our heads in traditional turbans. The slow sway of the camel’s gait, the soft crunch of sand beneath its feet, and the quiet beauty of the desert at sunset felt almost dreamlike. By the time we reached the camp, lanterns flickered against the fading light. Dinner was set under a large tent, but I chose a seat just outside to enjoy the cool breeze. The aroma of slow-cooked tajine and fresh bread was irresistible, and the sweet mint tea warmed me as the stars emerged. Then the entertainment began: Gnawa musicians filled the night with hypnotic rhythms, Berber dancers spun in dazzling costumes, and a fire performer drew gasps from the crowd with a stunning display. The entire agafay desert dinner show felt vibrant yet intimate—laughter, music, and stories mingled under a canopy of stars. Later, I stepped away from the group to soak in the silence. The desert was so still that I could hear my own breath, yet I felt completely alive. This wasn’t just an evening excursion; it was a journey through Morocco’s heart and traditions. If you’re planning this experience, bring a scarf for the dust and a jacket for the cool night. The staff was incredibly attentive, the toilets were clean, and every detail was thoughtfully arranged. The quad bike and camel ride Agafay adventure followed by this magical dinner is something I’ll cherish forever. This Agafay desert dinner show was the highlight of my Morocco trip.
I don't know where to start.... the ad is false and the place has nothing to do with the photos. The car (which was not private) was old and not air conditioned or even ventilated (so we started with an hour drive in a sauna at 35 °), we had to reach a Meeting Point instead of a pick up at our accommodation. The driver spent his time calling and texting while driving. On site a welcome tea but no pastries as planned in the description. The meal is taken on large collective tables with many groups and not at all on pretty candlelit tables or in tents with carpets as in photos. No salad or beef tagine as planned on the menu, very average meal, we had to claim dessert and we ended up having dry tangerines, we finally left the place because stray dogs climbed on tables to eat in dishes... we then saw a show too long and not at all typical (Macarena and magic system based on an out-of-age sono and fire-breathing). Drop at the same place, not at our riad. In short, not at all the serene and peaceful evening we thought we would give our parents for their birthday. Huge disappointment, to flee.
In the photos we expected something more intimate and not we end up in the same place as everyone else ..... No pictures match, We had made our choice, precisely for this more intimate side, without camels, quad and show which was quite the reverse.
