This was an absolutely wonderful tour! We had a traditional Moroccan breakfast and a delicious lunch (a tagine course for two at 150 Dh extra — including a 1.5L bottle of water, salad, flatbread, chicken tagine, and dessert). The day was filled with visits to picturesque Berber villages, beautiful waterfalls, and the highlight — a 20–30 minute ride on a one-humped camel.
Breakfast was served on the patio of a women’s argan oil cooperative in one of the villages. We dipped bread into freshly made argan oil (which had a Nutella-like texture and even a similar taste!) and enjoyed a refreshing cup of mint tea. After breakfast, we were given a short presentation on how argan oil is extracted, and they introduced us to their handmade products, including soaps and cosmetics.
After a hike to the waterfalls, we had lunch in a restaurant located in another village. The view from this place was absolutely breathtaking — surrounded by mountains, enjoying a meal in such a stunning setting was truly one of the highlights of the day.
What impressed me most was how the tour company collaborates with local villagers to help promote their businesses and share their culture with visitors. There was absolutely no pressure to buy anything, and everyone we met was kind, humorous, and clearly passionate about their work. It made me feel that this tour company is truly trustworthy, and I sincerely wish them continued success.
The whole experience was incredibly enjoyable. Our guide, who is originally from one of the villages we visited, shared many stories about local life, adding a personal and authentic touch to the day. He also had a great sense of humor, which made the tour even more fun.
One important note: I stayed at a hotel located deep in the old medina, where cars can’t enter. Because of this, the driver couldn’t pick me up directly. However, the guide contacted my hotel in advance and gave clear instructions, so we were able to meet up without any issues. If you're staying in a riad in the medina, just be aware you might need to walk a bit to the pickup point.
P.S. During the camel ride, a young boy offered to take photos for us — and he did an amazing job! He had a real eye for photography and worked hard to get great angles and shots. The photos turned out perfect for Instagram!
You hardly visit anything relevant. Something from the atlas mountains, and the waterfall highlights. No Berber people. A women's argan oil cooperative, yeah.
Most of the time on the bus.
And the camel ride, it's literally going up, turning around, and going down. And for a field, which could be anywhere, not desert, not anything wonderful.
