About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- robinvK4506BP0 contributionsAmazing experienceOur guide Fouzia was amazing! She is funny, patient and so kind. This daytrip is an amazing experience to see the "real Morocco". Keep in mind that this day includes a hike, with a lot of climbing. Also it is recommended to take warm clothes with you, as it can be chilly in the mountains. Enjoy!!!Written 25 March 2025
- Pete E0 contributionsAmazing day trip definitely a must do.Amazing experience stunning views and waterfalls. The guide was just brilliant throughout and very informative! Highly recommendedWritten 25 March 2025
- krishivd20250 contributionsSo amazing tripWe chose this tour because, unlike the majority of other Atlas Mountain itineraries, it made no mention of camel riding, something we didn't want to promote. I'm so happy we did! Amin, our tour guide, was fantastic and made the entire trip! He educated us a lot about the Berber people and was very amiable and knowledgeable. He also shoots the best pictures. The view from the house is stunning, and the climb to the waterfall was fantastic. The lunch with the local family was also really tasty. I would strongly suggest this excursion to anyone looking to spend a day away from Marrakech! It was among the highlights of our Moroccan vacation.Written 24 March 2025
- 314sanaaf0 contributionsWonderfulAmazing views, great host, Yasmin was informative and engaging and we had a great time on the whole trip. I especially enjoyed the camel ride, the camels seemed well cared for and it was a lot of fun. The hike was beautiful. I was fasting as it is Ramadan, and Yasmin gave me some of the Berber lunch to have later which was very kind. Great value for money.Written 24 March 2025

Omar was very very kindly and helpful more than I expected.
He ask me all times if I want to take more pic or video.
The price was very very good
We get a ride of Camel for 15min
We visit and tried a tropical Berber breakfast
And we learn much about culture and information about different village
We had an amazing lunch with our group.
We walk hiking about 2-3 hours I think we raise to 1700m over the sea.
So I was very satisfied with our trip ( I will not be able to do anything if I stayed in the Center of Medina and it will cost me more times )
I recommended Omar 100%
I will make editing and make a video about that on YouTube ( Wesam Shaya )

Omar took myself and a friend on a ~7hr tour of the Atlas mountains that included ~3hr gentle walking, a camel ride, a stop for tea and to learn about the production of argan oil (much more interesting than it sounds!), a delicious meal, and many interesting facts and explanations. His manner was welcoming and professional, and he was very friendly and informative. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody looking to explore the beautiful Atlas mountains scenery while learning about the rich history and culture of the Berber people that still inhabit them.

An excursion with Omar not to be missed . The dessert, the trek to the mountains, the camel ride, the visit to the Argan oil factory, the fantastic lunch provided by Omar's family, the waterfall all thoroughly enjoyed topped off by our wonderful guide Omar telling us all about the morroccan people, culture and history. If you can ask for this guide please do. A very kind caring and humble young man. Would highly recommend.

"Absolutely amazing experience, the best all-in-one day trip I’ve ever been on in any country. Still can’t believe that I was able to experience so much in just a day. Mustapha is the best host I’ve had in Morocco and he made the trip fantastic. I am only in Marrakech for 2 days and I don’t think I could have possibly had a better chance at seeing so much in Morocco without this trip. Every part of the day was great, the stops for tea and some food, the hike into the Atlas Mountains, the stop at the waterfall, and then lunch in Mustapha’s beautiful village. Mustapha is always exceptionally knowledgeable about not only the Berber communities but Morocco as a whole. He told us tons of great stories and answered all of our questions. Can’t say enough about how great of a host he was, definitely book this trip, whether you’re in Marrakech for a short time or not. I’m confident no other tour could be as good as this one"))

We had a fantastic day. Our guide Omar comes from the area and has a lot of knowledge and stories. The trip starts with a fun ride on Camels, includes a delicious local lunch and has a hike in the beautiful Atlas mountains. One of the best guided trips we ever had.

Omar is a fantastic guide and this is an experience in every sense of the word. You'll have fun, you'll visit amazing places, and you'll learn the history of a region and its people. And on top of all that, Omar and his familiy invite you to have a traditional lunch at their house. An unforgettable experience.

Camel driving, learn about the Berbers, hiking, culture, specialties from kitchen Morroco. And Omar taking photos as much as you want. Every tour reserves a host like Omar. A fantastic day!
