        A very enjoyable tour of the stunning Atlas Mountains
        The Atlas Mountains are a stunning breath of fresh air after the busy streets of Marrakech. This is especially true when you have such a friendly and welcoming guide. Omar Imzilen spoke fluent English and answered any questions we had. If you visit Marrakech, I would strongly recommend taking a day out of the city to visit the Atlas Mountains with Omar.

        Atlas Mountain trip with Omar
        The driver was amazing, we all felt very safe. Omar the tour guide was excellent. He was gracious, friendly and extremely knowledgable about the history of Morocco. The Berbers are very friendly people. The breakfast was excellent and it was amazing to watch the ladies go through the process of making argan oil. I would highly recommend this tour.

        Most Amazing Experience owed to Omar Imzilen
        Thank you Omar for your generosity! You made my first trip to Marrakech special that we’ve been still talking about it. Next time we go to Marrakech, we want to visit you and your family and have Moroccan tea. I love the experience of visiting Berber people, going to the market, Argon oil Tastings, camel ride, and the lunch,,, it was incredible meeting your mom, brother, and grandpa and your friend who sold the pillow during the hike:) I could go on and on ,,,, it looks like you are not doing lunch any longer? It may be too difficult for your mom. You need to raise your prices 😂

        Ibrahim and his team were the best! They were able to provide an amazing trip to Essaouira City. It was one of my most cherished moments of 2022. I love everything of the day trip and they safely returned us to our hotel after the tour. I thank Ibrahim for all his dedication towards giving the best of what Morocco has to offer and I look forward to seeing more of it in the foreseeable future. Highly recommend!

        Unforgettable moments
        This is a great tour for those who want to experience Morocco without the hassle- including the mountains of Atlas and the dunes of sahara desert with the hospitality of the berber people. Long drives are broken-up with key rest stops where drinks and snacks were available and the toilets are clean.Similarly lunch stops are well-organized and prices are set. The total price of this tour is remarkably low for all that it includes - good hotel rooms, the Tentes for the 2nd night. My favorite part of the tour was definitely the camel ride and san boarding in the sahara desert along with staying in the campsite which was beautiful! if you"re thinking about booking, DO IT, really top top top!

        Wonderful trip 3 days 2 night
        My family and I traveled to Morocco hoping to have a nice and wonderful trip. The main thing we were waiting for was exploring the desert and enjoying the camel ride as the sunset and sunrise. Our guide mohamad and our driver Ibrahim were great we really enjoyed We were able to get a real idea of Moroccan life and culture. Mohamad answered our endless questions and was patient with our entire family, our driver Ibrahim, always made sure of our safety and comfort, both exceeded our expectations. Great experience I recommended this trip

        3 Days 2 nights( Sahara) The best trip
        The best trip you could ever imagine! We had so much fun! We visited many historical and touristic areas such as the Kasbah of Ait Ben hado and the gorges of dades and toudaghi, the views were breathtaking. The road was long, but we had a lot of stops and a lot of attractions! The most attractive stop is the desert (golden sands), enjoying camel rides, sunrise and sunset, and spending the night in tents. Our guide Ibrahim was amazing and very helpful! I recommend it to everyone, worth every cent

        Best Trips to discover Morocco
        Our trip was simply beautiful and we highly recommend it to anyone wanting to discover Morocco to another non tourist. Everything was well organized from beginning to end. Other than what is included in the price of the room, we were offered several optional tours to tailor the trips to our liking. All the recommended sites and places to eat were excellent - good. What made the trip even more enjoyable was our exceptional guide and driver Abdou. It's a big boy who we feel lucky to have met. We have felt like family members from the beginning. He even showed us a part of Morocco without him, we would not have seen him, who went out of his way to make sure we had a wonderful time, and, to my very thankfulness.

        Visit the Atlas Mountain and the Sahara
        I went for a 5 day trip with my family to the amazing Atlas Mountains and South Morrocan, visiting the Berber villages and valleys. My parents enjoyed the trip, and with the help of the tremendous staff at the Atlas Desert Expeditions, our stay was simply incredible. We loved the beautiful Moroccan desert. The night in the dunes of Merzouga is worth the detour, music and campfire will be on the agenda in order to warm the atmosphere. Nothing to complain about, the guide took great care of us and allowed us to taste the delights of the local cuisine. The whole was really very well organized. Thank you !

      The trip to Essaouira started with a very on time pickup at the hotel and had two stops before Essaouira, one very friendly restaurant complex with good food and coffee followed by the Argan Oil cooperative where you learn a little bit about the oil making process.
      Omar was a very good and knowledgeable guide, exploring a little bit of the history of Morocco, specifically Marrakech and Essaouira in both French and English.
      The driver, Ibrahim, was very nice, polite and managed to make everyone fall asleep with his superb driving after a great day of exploring the fishing city of Essaouira.

      Wonderful day and perfect tour! Ibrahim is an attentive and thoughtful driver, Omar drives punctually and precisely. Both attentive and available to various needs. Comfortable and clean 15-seater minibus, extremely punctual. Added value: we booked on Sunday evening for Monday morning and within half an hour they contacted us to arrange the pick-up location. FANTASTIC!

      Going solo, I spent a great day in Eassouria, a coastal town. Far from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. Ibrahim and Omar the driver and the guide were punctual, adapting to the English, Italian and French public. This small group was well taken care of. Nothing to complain about, I highly recommend. Real kindness.

      Thé tour guide Umar was so good. He carried us along, whilst he explained about the history of Morocco to us during the bus ride tour to Essaouira. He is such a great guy and I highly recommend him.

      Essaouira was so beautiful
      We enjoyed the beach and the fish villlage
      The people were kind as well

      Overall the experience was fantastic!
      Would use their services again and again!!!

      P.S: be prompt with your meet up timing, so you don’t get left behind like we almost did.

      A great time spent with our Guide Omar and our driver Ibrahim. First, I contacted them to see if he could pick us up at our hotel a little outside Marrakech. Ibrahim is very responsive. Following his quick return, I was able to book.They picked us up directly from our hotel... They were even early 😉... A good sign...
      The trip went very well with many explanations from Omar about Berber culture, about the places we went through , a stop for a pee and coffee break, and a second to visit an Argan cooperative ... This allows you to quickly get from Marrakech to Essaouira... We arrived at the end of the morning on Essaouira... We had just over 4 hours to enjoy Essaouira... The beach, the old town, the port, the souks... That's enough time...
      The return also went well with a new break that allows to cut the trip a little ...
      You can trust them to have a good time... Another big thank you to Ibrahim our driver, Omar our Guide and Ibrahim in charge ... We and the children leave with lots of beautiful images in our heads... We will not hesitate to call on you if we return to the Marrakech area. See you soon! Choukran 🙏

      We booked an excursion to Essaouira from Marrakech. Already, the location for the meeting is perfect (Jemaa el-Fnaa Square). Our guide Omar is very proud of his culture and shares it with a big smile to enhance the trip (about 3 hours) with a technical stop and a visit to an argan cooperative. Once you reach your destination, you have 4 hours to walk around the seaside town where you can shop, eat and even swim.

      Thanks to Omar and his cousin Ibrahim (our driver) for this beautiful experience in this beautiful country.

      This experience was incredible, our guide was super helpful and always tried to help us with everything we needed and always tried to speak English and Spanish to those who didn't understand English, which helped a lot.
      I highly recommend it not only for the experience but also for the guide and driver who were incredibly fantastic. Thank you very much Ibrahim and Omar!
