Our day began being collected by Abderrahim and Mohamed. We drove to the camels where we were suitably attired for our ride 😁. Yummy mint tea and bread were provided throughout the day. Visits on route were to a weekly market and Argan oil producers. Was an interesting drive with the changes in scenery as we ascended. Abderrahim explained different things along the way and answered any questions we had. Nothing was too much trouble. The walk (that's the donkey, not me!) up to Abderrahim's family home was great fun and very pretty. We were made to feel very welcome and spoilt with traditional cooking from his Mum. Lovely food and beautiful surroundings. A wonderful day had. Abderrahim and Mohamed were complete gentlemen and a lot of laughs had. Would definitely recommend this tour and wish them all the best.seanhoward22

My friends and I spent the day with Rajid (Mohammad) and absolutely loved our experience! Rajid was super friendly and informative the entire journey. The food we had was probably the best of our entire trip to Morocco. Would highly recommend, 10/10.
