Morocco Family Adventure Holidays

We did the 4-day dessert tour with family-owned local company AtlasTrekkers and loved it. Mahjoub was super accommodating and helpful when planning the tour as well as when we suddenly ran into some unexpected changes. Such great service and kindness. Same goes for our super driver Abdo who took care of us with great kindness and attentiveness. He, for instance, proactively suggested additional tourist sites along our route when we were a bit ahead of schedule (which my history-nerd partner loved). The tour included amazing stays along the way in locally-owned guest houses and hotels off the beaten path which served amazing food.

We had a memorable desert trip that turned out to be a mixed but overall positive experience. We were very worried when booking because we had read many online reviews of other agencies where people had very bad experiences. However, our driver Abdul did everything he could to try and accommodate our needs , On the first day, our meal at a local restaurant was very very disappointing. We asked Abdul if it would be possible to try some authentic Moroccan food instead of tourist-trap food in the future. He was apologetic and from that point on he made a lot of effort to make sure we had better food. He spoke with the people cooking the food at our first overnight stop to make it as good as possible for us. That night, we stayed in a very small, homey hostel run by a few very nice women. The hostel was more than okay—it offered lovely views, and the people there were kind and welcoming. The next day, he took us to an entirely local place to eat, away from the usual tourist spots—a rare opportunity that we greatly appreciated. Later we also stopped at another restaurant that didn’t feel like a tourist trap where we had authentic Madfouna, also known as “berber-pizza”. We highly recommend the place and if you get lucky enough to have Abdul as your driver, make sure to ask him about it! At the desert camp, the overall experience was mixed. The camels seemed to be pretty all right, and the staff was nice. Although the food in the camp was not very good, we can’t really complain since we did not expect too much. The tent we stayed in felt as luxurious as you can expect from a desert tent. It had a really big, nice bed, and everything felt very clean, fresh, and spacious. There was a slight smell, but nothing significant. A highlight of our stay was the authentic music experience at the camp. The staff invited us to dance, play the drums, and sing along, which added a joyful touch to the trip. And, of course, the stars were just as beautiful as they say—the desert is truly gorgeous. One thing to keep in mind is that the car ride is very long, with many hours spent in the vehicle. Overall, the efforts of our driver and the unique experiences at the camp made this a trip worth having.

This 4 day tour from Marrakech to the Sahara was the highlight of our trip to Morocco. There are tour operators that do it in 3, but by adding a 4th day you discover special places en route that you would not otherwise have time to explore, including: (i) Dades Gourges where we spent the first night at the Monkey Fingers Guest House, tucked in a canyon-side village where you feel as far away from tourist places as you can get! The house is run by an Artist with her creations throughout, (ii) Ait Ben Haddou - where many movie favorites were filmed from the Mummy to Gladiator. We had time to take the Atlas Studio Tour in nearby Ouzarate which really highlighted why this part of Morocco is such a popular choice for filming.The desert tour starts as you approach Merzouga, where our guide Abdul helped us with our head scarves that are both beautiful and functional, protecting you from the elements of the desert. It was a breathtaking 80min camel caravan ride into the desert camp where we enjoyed a tradional meal and arose to see the beautiful Sahara Sunrise. An unforgettable life experience for myself, wife and 9 year old daughter who named her camel Carmel. One word of advice, while most of the restaurants along the trek were excellent, I have suggested that they look for a different option than Tokyo restaurant on trip back. It was a bit unfriendly and charged me 5€ for a cup of cold soup, which sets a new standard for inflated “tourist prices”. But relative to everything else which was perfect, this was a “blip”. To conclude, what made the whole experience so magical was the outfitter we chose - Atlas Trekkers who were beyond caring in ensuring we had the best time possible. Our driver with us for all four days was Abdul, who showed us gorgeous sights not listed on the itinerary, and taught us so much about the land, the people and the history. Always with a smile and focused on giving us the adventure of our lives, it was an honor to share this experience with him. If you are looking for the memory of a lifetime, Atlas Trekkers and Abdul are there to make it come true.

Ho scoperto Atlas Trekkers grazie alle ottime recensioni su Trust Pilot e Trip Advisor. Tutto verissimo, fin dal primo momento Mahjoub ha risposto a tutte le nostre domande, assecondato tutte le nostre esigenze. L'ho tempestato di domande di informazioni e richieste ai limiti dello stalking ;))) e lui sempre molto gentilmente mi ha risposto e rassicurato. Fin da subito è stato disponibile ed assecondare ogni nostra richiesta di cambiamento o sull'itinerario o sui posti dove poterci fermare a soggiornare. Abdoul, la nostra guida/autista è stata eccezionale. La sua gentilezza era palpabile in ogni interazione, rendendo l'intera esperienza ancora più piacevole. Non solo ci ha guidati con sicurezza e competenza,, ha saputo trovare per noi, in pieno Ramadam, posti non turistici dove mangiare pranzi autentici con sapori che spaziavano dai Berberi ai Marocchini tradizionali. Siamo estremamente soddisfatti del servizio offerto Atlas trekkers. Mahjoub si è dimostrato incredibilmente disponibile in ogni fase della pianificazione, ascoltando attentamente le nostre esigenze e rispondendo prontamente a tutte le nostre domande. La sua professionalità e attenzione ai dettagli hanno permesso di creare un itinerario perfetto per noi. Consigliamo vivamente questo operatore a chiunque cerchi un'esperienza di viaggio indimenticabile e senza intoppi. I discovered Atlas Trekkers thanks to the excellent reviews on Trust Pilot and Trip Advisor. All of it is true. From the very beginning, Mahjoub answered all of our questions and accommodated all of our needs. I bombarded him with questions, information requests, and borderline stalking demands ;))) yet he always responded kindly and reassured me. Right from the start, he was available to accommodate any of our requests for changes, whether regarding the itinerary or places where we could stay. Abdoul, our guide/driver, was exceptional. His kindness was palpable in every interaction, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. Not only did he guide us with confidence and competence, but he also found us non-touristy places to enjoy authentic meals with flavors ranging from Berber to traditional Moroccan cuisine, even during Ramadan. We are extremely satisfied with the service provided by Atlas Trekkers. Mahjoub proved to be incredibly attentive during every phase of planning, listening carefully to our needs and promptly answering all of our questions. His professionalism and attention to detail allowed for the creation of a perfect itinerary for us. We highly recommend this operator to anyone seeking an unforgettable and seamless travel experience.

A really great experience for our group of 8, from pick-up in Marrakech and throughout our 4-day round trip through the mountains to the desert. Mahjoub and Abdo were very attentive and careful to ensure that the tour met all our expectations, both in the planning, and once we were on the road.

A fabulous week of trekking with Hamid and his team amongst the beautiful Atlas Mountains. Loved the midday picnics with delicious food, meeting the warm and friendly Berber villagers and getting our bags carried by the well looked after team of mules

I just had an absolutely AMAZING trek in the Atlas mountains with Hamid and his team - everything was so well organised and the routes were fantastic. Couldn't have asked for more. Definitely one of the best adventures I've ever had, and one that I won't forget!! Thank you Atlas Trekkers!!!! 💚

Our team of ten had an unforgettable experience hiking to Toubkal with Atlas Trekkers, led by the amazing Mahjoub. His professionalism, empathy, and positive attitude made the journey both enjoyable and inspiring. Mahjoub and his team were always willing to help, ensuring everyone felt supported and motivated throughout the trek. The breathtaking views, combined with Mahjoub’s expertise and kindness, created a truly special experience for all of us. If you’re planning a trek in the region, I highly recommend Atlas Trekkers. They made our adventure seamless, memorable, and absolutely worth it!

Dheffy

This is the best adventure to experience in Morocco😊😊 we enjoyed every bit of it. We paid for pickup and the rider was on time super friendly. We arrived at a spot and was offered tea and couscous. We were taken to the location and they were so friendly and welcoming, also polite. The experience was fun and intriguing. I recommend 😊😊

This was the highlight of our trip to Marrakesh. We were travelling with our two young kids and their grandmother, so I had a lot of questions about safety before we booked. They answered all of my questions, and were very responsive and helpful. We were interested in the paragliding, but they also arranged a sunrise hot air balloon ride, desert quad biking, camel rides, and a Berber dinner with fire show! At every step, they went above and beyond to make sure our whole group was included and taken care of. Everything was perfect, and everyone (kids, adults, and grandma!) had an amazing time. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!

Keegan Martinjako

Our driver was very friendly and pointed out some cool spots on the way and also let us stop by the lake on the way back. Our camel ride was smooth and we got some great photos. I was nervous for the paragliding, but by the time we got in the air it was smooth sailing with views of the mountain and desert. Good experience would recommend
