Main Event was the Dinner, but the Ride was great and Lahcen was a great host

Lahcen was a great host. The music was great in the bus, the vibe was incredible, there was tea even though it was not on trip advisor and the dromedar ride was short bur beautiful, definitely something for people that have never riden a camel before, I can recommend it a lot! The main attraction was definitely the dinner, not the camel riding. The dinner was so good, 4 courses with music and a fire show, incredible experience, I'd go again if I could. Lahcen was kind and spoke great english, easy communication with him, and he looked out for all of us well, checking where we are and that all of us are good.

Worth doing, especially if you don’t have much time to go far

Abdel was excellent and everything was as described and expected. Food was surprisingly good and plentiful, it was well organised and smooth. The camel ride was pleasant and the animals seem to be well treated and looked after. Short ride from Marrakech, perfect way to explore something culturally interesting and very reasonably priced

Bang for your buck

Had a great time, Mohammed made the drive really fun & helped my friend feel calmer on the camels. Worth it for even just the dinner & show. Definitely recommend!

Great excursion

Abdel is a very friendly guide. He brought us to the camel ride and the Argan women's Cooperative. And the dinner show. The food was delicious and the fire show amazing!

Good memories

We really enjoyed the trip. It’s designed for tourists, as it’s not really a desert, but rather a small plain with sand. However, it was my first time riding a camel, and it was an amazing experience. The food in the evening was very tasty and filling, and our guide Zakaria was attentive. The only thing I personally didn’t enjoy was the music show. The musicians performed excellently, but it was a bit too loud for me. The fire show was impressive, though.

Operator response

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you really enjoyed the trip and that your first camel ride was such a memorable experience. We’re also happy to know you liked the evening meal and that Zakaria took good care of you — we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. We truly appreciate your honest comments about the music show. While many guests enjoy the lively atmosphere, we understand that volume preferences can vary, and your feedback is valuable to us. We’re glad the fire show left a strong impression and helped make the evening special. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back for another experience in the future!

Highly recommended

Meeting point given at the last moment and only after several reminders. After many vicissitudes we start the tour and fortunately the driver was really good. Camel ride and dinner in the desert great fun, all accompanied by music and at the end fire show... beautiful

Operator response

La ringraziamo per aver condiviso il suo feedback. Ci scusiamo per il disagio iniziale legato alla comunicazione del punto di incontro, che è avvenuta solo dopo diversi solleciti. Prendiamo molto seriamente le sue osservazioni e lavoreremo per migliorare questo aspetto del servizio. Siamo però felici di sapere che, nonostante le difficoltà iniziali, il tour sia stato apprezzato e che il nostro autista abbia contribuito positivamente all’esperienza. Ci fa piacere sapere che la passeggiata in cammello, la cena nel deserto, la musica e lo spettacolo di fuoco siano stati momenti piacevoli e memorabili. Speriamo di poterla accogliere nuovamente in futuro per offrirle un’esperienza ancora migliore. Se desideri una versione più breve o più informale, dimmelo pure.

Moroccan tea, desert camel ride, traditional food

We booked this excursion while visiting Marrakech. Very enjoyable and reasonably priced. The camel ride was the highlight for me and well worth the trip for that

Culture and fun

Great experience and they fit in a lot of culture and fun in this activity. Remember to bring a scarf for the quads, as it is very dusty.

Agafay Desert with Zakaria Guide

It was a beautiful day, Zakaria was very kind and considerate since he came to pick us up from the hotel and worried about everything even towards my husband who had a problem with his leg. Beautiful the charm of the desert, the camel ride, the sunset with magical colors, but above all it was very fun dinner, we ate well of the local dishes entertained by music and good guys who give themselves committed to entertain us and have fun with music, songs and dances! Experience that I recommend!

Great experience

We loved our outing to the Agafay Desert, it was amazing to have the opportunity to experience a camel ride in the desert, great views of the Agafay Desert and Atlas Mountains followed by an authentic Morrocan dinner at such an amazing venue. A little disappointed in our guide who wasn’t good at communication, we felt like we sat around too much and his English was not very good.

Great experience!

It was a very interesting experience. You'll get to see the locals doing their activities and of course enjoy the desert. We started just with camels and dinner but in the end we also hired quad bikes. I definitely recommend doing it because otherwise you'll have to wait for the group to finish that activity. The camel ride was nice and the camels were well treated. Stunning sunset! Dinner and show was good, but I would like to have more options available. Our guide Galouti was very friendly, energetic and kind. Communication was good enough at all times and he was always trying to accommodate all clients even when they spoke other languages different than English or French. Houssam our driver was honestly very good and prudent considering the roads and the traffic conditions, never rushing and keeping us safe at all times. It was an overall good and satisfactory experience with a fair price. I just recommend to get all the activities from the start: camel, quad bikes and dinner. You'll save some money.

Tourist trap

We chose this for the sunset experience but we didn't even get that! This *may* be worth an evening if you have kids who would be fascinated by a fire eater and a subpar camel ride experience. But there's a reason this outing is cheap. The food is bland and the worst we had in Morocco, the leader is a driver only and not a guide, and the whole experience is very crowded. We had a much better camel ride on an Imlil excursion (3 Berber villages). We chose this outing for the sunset, but the camp faces the other way so you can't see the sunset. Save your precious vacation time on a better dinner elsewhere. This outing is a crowded tourist trap.

Recommended excursion in Marrakech

It was me and my partner with a group we met in Marrakech. We visited the argan oil factory and rode a camel, and what we liked the most was the dinner with both dance/sing and fire show very well set. We would certainly repeat. The best was our guide Ali, 100% recommended.
