This was the perfect day for us! Made even more special by our wonderful guides Houda and Abdo. The transportation was efficient and the days activities were explained to us. The activities themselves were so fun and varied, from calming rides on the camels to adrenaline filled drive on the quad bikes! It was very interesting to hear about the oil and see how it is produced. The evening meal was delicious and they catered for vegetarian diets too. The evening entertainment was so fun and got everyone involved. It was the perfect way to finish the day. This trip is such good value for money and the memories we’ve made are priceless. Thank you so much!

A lovely trip up into the Atlas mountains, a relatively quick trip to get to the hike which was very picturesque. Our guide was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all the questions that came her way - she was delightful! Breakfast was included and was very tasty. One improvement would have been to have lunch in the sun rather than the very cold shade, but the food was delicious nonetheless.

the guide mostapha went above and beyond and made this such a fantastic trip bilingual and explained everything to us all at every step highly recommend

We loved the activities as well as the meal with the show accompanied by Houda and Abdou!

It was great and the guide Youssef Ansi was amazing!
