Atlas Mountains Camel Ride Adventure

A very well organized tour, very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide Samira, good food, well worth going on the tour. Van is air conditioned as well which helps.

Myself and my son stayed in the Aqua Mirage resort hotel in Marrackech. Driss Alla adventures booking service was in very close proximity to our hotel. We booked with his nephew Badaa and he was very helpful. We booked two seperate trips. One was for myself and my seventeen year old son to go to to the desert and do quad biking and camel riding. We where collected by the taxi man on time, he had aircon which was great and even had WiFi which my son was delighted about. It took about 45 minutes to get there and back. The taxi man stayed and waited till we where finished. Took about two and a half hours for both quad biking, visiting local house in desert that served us local honey, bread and moroccon tea. It was lovely and relaxing after driving through the desert. Our guide for the quads and camel riding experience was a lovely moroccon gentleman called Monaim. We got a quad bike initially to share as I have a torn tendon on my left arm so I wasn't taking any risks. My son wanted to experience driving the quad on his own driving back so Monaim offered for me to be his passenger on his quad bike. Have to admit I did feel safer with an experienced instructor but didn't let on to my son lol. The camel riding experience was a good laugh also. The guides where only too happy to take pics which was great. This trip cost us 700 mad which is roughly 70 euros which I felt was good value. My next trip I booked was to Ourika Valley and mountains (Group trip) This cost 500 mad. My son decided the journey was too long so he didnt come. Badda refunded me 200 mad for my son. So it cost me 300 mad roughly 30 euros. The journey was about an hour there and back. No wifi on this coach which was a pity but was a nice journey. The driver dropped us off at our first stop which was an old brick house in the valley which had beautiful views and we then got offered moroccon tea and moroccon biscuits by the lady showing us around the grounds. Second stop was across the road where a guy showed us around the spice shop and how the peanut butter was grounded from nuts to butter. We where shown samples of some popular oils and spices. I purchased a few things here. We where then brought by the driver to a beautiful river which had fab views and cushion seating around the river. Most people bar myself got offered a three course lunch. I was told it was not included in my booking fee but when I chatted with most of the people on our tour they advised they paid 250 to 300 mad with lunch included so I was a bit disappointed. The guide told us we where free to explore the area by ourselves that he would not be bringing us to the waterfalls. We where to meet him back at 3.30pm to return home. I set off to find the waterfalls as this was something I really wanted to see. I was clueless how to find it and every local I passed by was trying to get me to go with them. But I was totally aware this was not for free that payment was expected. I met a local young gentleman who lived in the valley and he knew I hadn't a clue where I was heading too as he had been watching me get lost. He seemed honest and genuine and I agreed that he could show me where to go. I was happy to pay him for the convenience and his local knowledge of the best route to get to the waterfall. His name was Abderraza, a twenty four year old local who lived in the beautiful valley. He pointed to me where he lived and gave me great information on the mountains and local area. He helped me navigate some of the hard rocks we had to climb. I was very grateful for his help pulling me up as I have a torn tendon in one of my shoulders so really needed the help. He knew the best way to get to the mountain and we even got to see some monkeys. He was so good and even took pics of me at the waterfall. The waterfall was so worth seeing and so beautiful. He also knew a quick way to get down which I was delighted about. It took a good hour with a lot of climbing rocks and inclines to get up..And in the hot heat this was a bit of a challenge but he gave me great encouragement. I was happy to give him 10 euros for his help and kindness. This was all the money I had left. He was delighted and very thankful. All in all two wonderful adventures while holidaying in beautiful Marrackech in Morocco. Looking forward to my next trip back to Marrackech to do more sightseeing and exploring. Such a beautiful country with lovely friendly people.

The guide Samira was friendly and kind and knowledgeable. Good driver. Great fun with the camel's. Beautiful river stop. Do fresh up in the moubtai s and beautiful places we stopped for good food. The tagline had been cooked on wood fire tasted great. The moubtai s are fresh and beautiful. So good to get out for a day. Be guided without stress and enjoy fresh air and calm . I didn't like as I had an injury, but all was accommodated smoothly.

Amazing experience! Tour guide was extremely informative and very friendly! The tour was organised perfectly from start until finish. Very good value for money, we came away with lots of new informative.

Excellent day with Fatima! The tour started on time. Fatima is friendly and spoke fluently in both English and French. The tour bus was comfortable. Enjoyed the stops and learning about Moroccan culture, food and industries. Perfect amount of time at each stop. Breakfast and lunch stops were delicious as well. My 3 teenage daughters enjoyed the camel rides and the hike to the waterfalls as well. We also stocked up on some argan oils for use back home on our hair and skin! Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and was so sweet to take some family pictures for us. Thank you Fatima and your driver for a fun day!
