This was a great tour! Abdul is a great driver and shared a lot of useful facts with us, always informing us what we are doing next, how long it takes and he was very nice. The activities were great! FYI, you don't need to ride the camels (dromaders) to enjoy this tour.

We booked this trip the day before we wanted to go and were slightly apprehensive as we didn’t know what to expect -but the whole thing was pretty much seamless from start to finish. We were staying in a Riad in the central medina and they messaged us on WhatsApp the same day we booked to arrange a pick up point and time for the next morning eliminating any anxiety straight away. The driver Abdul was lovely and a very smooth driver & we felt very safe with him. The main guide Mustafa was so friendly, welcoming and funny. He was full of facts and information and talked with us the majority of the journey which was lovely. There was a group of about 11 of us all from different places and he gave us an opportunity to introduce ourselves so we could get to know each other. The first stop was the camel ride which lasted about 20mins which was plenty of time. They dress you up in outfits and are very accommodating taking pictures for you. Then we all sat in the shade and had our first mint tea and biscuits for the day. The second stop was a quick stop for photos with the mountains in the background. The third stop was the women’s Argan oil cooperative where they showed you each step of the production and had a little shop should you feel you want to buy anything (there was no pressure). We also received an unexpected breakfast there, where we sat and had breads and homemade peanut butter and honey and edible argan oil. We then carried on to the final destination which was Mustafa’s home village where we did a small and very manageable hike up in to the Atlas Mountains to a waterfall which was beautiful. Finally we were taken back to Mustafa’s family home, met his father and were treated to the most delicious traditional Berber lunch with the most wonderful Mountain View’s. The bus journey was about 1 1/2 hours on the way back but longer on the way there because of all the stops. The bus was a comfortable ride and was nice and cool. There were toilets at each stop and they provided bottled water at the beginning of the journey for everyone. They also asked of any dietary requirements at the beginning of the day so they are accommodating with the lunch as well. This day was one of the best of our trip, so nice to be able to see more of the culture and meet people from the villages. Also quite harrowing in parts especially seeing the damage that last years earthquake has caused to communities. So even more important to do trips like this and pay into those communities. For the price you are paying you get so much for your money and it really is such a great day I would 100% recommend booking a day with these guys ☺️

I don’t normally write reviews but mustafa was great and I totally recommend going on this tour. He gave us so much information and he was really engaging and fun to be with and that was from my 12 and 15 year old so that’s saying something and the lunch at his family was delicious. Thankyou x
