For all those who haven’t got sufficient time in Morocco for a Sahara desert tour, all the way south then the Agafay desert is the best thing to do instead, the Agafay desert is not a Sand desert – but more sandstone and earthen plateau, traditional mud-built villages, dusty riverbeds are interspersed with spectacular sumptuous pasture and vegetation in springtime. There we can sample a tea with the locals.
The combination of these three valleys brings you into secluded fertile valleys where daily life of the indigenous Berber inhabitants moves with time honoured traditions. Immerse yourself for a day and discover the real Morocco as you travel through this ancient landscape with its many hidden treasures and incredible vistas.

Ibrahim was amazing! He was kind and friendly and took us on an amazing day out. Lunch was in a great location and also delicious! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a one- day taste of Morroco outside of Marrakesh.

Everything went very well on Jan 19th. The guide and driver team were 5 stars.
The lunch at the Berber family house was also very good.

We had a wonderful time on this tour. We had a fun camel ride in the desert, then took the bus to the local women's cooperative where we had breakfast of bread and homemade dips, and we saw how argan oil and other natural cosmetics were made. We then went to the Berber village of our tour guide Abdulaziz, where we had a delicious home cooked tagine and couscous. We then did a 1h hike to the base of some waterfalls at one of the Atlas mountains, where it started snowing when we reached. The whole experience was lovely and Abdulaziz was a terrific guide who was very welcoming and informative. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Marrakech.
