Thank you so much to brother Youssef, this was amazing. No words can describe this day, absolutely beautiful. Loved the camel ride and they took such nice pictures of us individually with the perfect angles, same thing for the quadbike, which I enjoyed a lot. Food was absolutely amazing in comparison to what you’re usually served at these activities. Incredible atmosphere and the final fire show was just wow. However, one thing I would like to mention is that I am unsure whether the quadbiking bit is safe for beginners. The roads were a bit crazy in some bits and we had to just go down sudden rocky dips and with some turns it felt we were just gonna flip. However it went all amazing and it was adventurous but be considerate and if you need help or you want to go slower or go with a staff member just let them know, they are always there and amazing.

Ilias was such a great guide and he kept everyone’s spirits up throughout and described places to us on the way to the desert, plus kept periodically checking on us from time to time. Food at the desert was sumptuous, stopping to see the women produce argan oil was a good plus and the camel and quad rides were the highlight of the day! The fire show at night was incredible but wasn’t amazed by the singing and dancing,sounded the same and lasted too long. Overall a recommended trip you won’t forget in a lifetime❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨✨ #GoldenMemory

The tour was fantastic and well organised The quad bike experience was very long and went into the sunset which was beautiful. What stood out to me the most was the stunning scenery and views. I felt comfortable, excited and safe throughout the whole experience. I would most certainly recommend everyone I know to join Youssefs guide in Agafay as it's an experience that they're definitely going to reminder.

An incredible experience! Riding the camels, having tea, the views of the desert at sunset, the dinner and the show, all of it was a must do in Marrakech for sure. Our guide, Yassine Aloune, and the driver Mustafa were charming and great company during the trip. I absolutely recommend it!

It was a spectacular day... we loved the trip, the activities, the dinner, the show and especially the guides (super attentive in making sure everything went well). To go on this tour, I recommend going with this company because they gave everything.
