There are lots of these trips advertised and it took ages to come to the decision to book through Mission Travel Morrocco. I don't think it actually matters who you book through they all seem to simply fill up the buses. Pick up at hotel was offered which was good. We were taken to a central pick up point where there appeared to be confusion regarding who was going and in which bus. The fellow passengers made the trip. That is the only reason I gave it 3 stars. Unfortunately the driver Muhammed who spoke no English, spent a large amount of his time on his mobile both travelling their and back. This was a bit concerning especially driving through the Atlas mountains. In the end I told him to put it away. Visits to Ben Haddou and Gorges du Todgha were very interesting. However as other reviews mentions lunch stops were arranged at particular restaurants with set price menus at tourist prices. Lunch for our family of 3 would have cost over 34 euros without drinks. I refused to pay this so walked down the road and found a chinese which served sandwiches etc. On the way back the whole group refused to ear at the allocated restaurant finding a much cheaper one down the road. The driver was not pleased as he probably lost his commission. My tip would be take your own food. The scenery is spectacular and the desert dune trek on camels is super. The camp was basic which was OK. My major complaint here though was despite advertising that drinks can be purchased there was nothing... Not even water. We had to continously ask for water and the camp staff refused several times stating that their bosses did not allow them to provide water. This was ridiculous having travelled by then over 17hrs on a bus and told to bring the bare minimum to not have water. Eventually they went to another camp and got water and charged us 2 euros. The food was quite good and the entertainment OK. It was the desert itself which made the trip and the fellow passengers. Despite booking the longer tour it was still very rushed. Up at 5. 30am to see the sunrise which was actually behind us. The journey back took almost 19hrs due to the driver getting stopped by police and fined. He got stopped a second time and the break pads fell off the bus. We then had to hang around waiting for it to be fixed. Muhammad wanting obviously to make up time drove like a formula one driver through the twisting mountains causing several people to feel sick. I had to firmly ask him to stop as one of the passengers was quite ill through his driving and the attitude. We really enjoyed the desert experience however if considering this research it first. 2 nights was rushed so I can only imagine how hectic one night would be.

It's a business and commercial....too many people....did not work for me. Family of 5 and the wrong price. The Camel ride was fun and our guide made the trip memorable. This is not the experience we have on a daily basis. I am not sure how well these animals are treated - which made me feel uncomfortable. The Quad bikes were good - but be aware there are no sand dunes- please see Sahara desert for more authentic scenery. There were no bonfires as in the photos - there could have been, but no one lit them. There was no sun set view as we were told there would be. My wifes Henna experience was disappointing. The evening dinner was drawn out over 3.5 hours - impersonal - no host or hostess during the evening dinner - tourist trap - there was music and dancing, but was short of atmosphere. No dessert either. One more thing - on top of the high price - you pay extra for the drinks...too much. We experienced wonderful hosting elsewhere in Marrakech and had a great vacation - Marrakech and the people are lovely - but am uncomfortable recommending this part.

The Ourika valley day trip the number one destination for tourists from Marrakech to the Atlas Mountains, is situated at a short distance from Marrakesh only 1H30, this valley is the right spot for people escaping from the heat of Marrakech during the summer time. It offers magnificent views along its green sides of the river.

Ending the morning by a walk up to the waterfalls in the middle of the rocky Atlas Mountains. Lunch under walnut trees shade near the river, a visit to a Berber family for mint tea course, explore the traditional Berber kitchen and house and their medieval agricultural system… drive back to Marrakech.

This company was absolutely unbelievable! Ever since I stuck on foot on Moroccan soil I was taken in by these guys. I booked three trips with Kamal and Morocco Nomadic Travel. I went to the day trip to Essaouira and saw a roadside argan oil cooperative with a tour and samples. Then I did the full city marrakech walking tour which was enlightening, beautiful and stunning. Tour was so informative, private and immersive and educational. Then I went on the Mountain hike at the high Atlas Mountains and it was gorgeous! The trip was also immersive into the local Berber culture. Plus good exercise and great lunch after. The food, hospitality and helpfulness of Morocco Nomadic travel were unmatched. I also booked airport transfers— everyone of these guys are the best! They are very responsive and quite affordable.

Hello my friends. I would like to tell you about a tour that I took in one of the regions of southern Morocco. We started from the imlil region, in the areas of Asni, going to Dades, passing by Tishka. On the second day, we set out from Dades to Merzouga, an area known for sandy skiing and mystical tents. On the second day, we returned to the city of Ouarzazate, a city known for its Kasbah and high oases. And then to the city of Marrakech, which is known for its square and entertainment. This tour took us on the 30th to the 2nd of this month with the dearest person and folded it, which carries the name (Al-Hussein, the driver of the car that accompanies us and they are a man of service.
