Incredible.
I highly recommend this tour. My friend and I did this tour and it was incredible. Abdou our tour guide made the car ride very fun!! He is so knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we had a good time. The berber village was very nice and we got to hang out with locals. The camel rode was absolutely unreal. We rode them at sunset and again at sunrise…once in a lifetime experience! The tajine at the camp and during lunch was also tasty. Go on this tour if you are going to marrakech and would like to leave the city and learn more about berber culture. Best experience yet.

Atmospheric splendor
Myself and my husband have been travelled pretty extensively but this experience has simply wow-ed us! The drive through the Atlas Mountain was amazing where we saw the dramatic mountain landscape and various magical scenery. Our over night stay at the Berbers camp was unique and exotic. Food was delicious and everything was far exceeded what we have expected.
The biggest credit should go to our driver Abdulkarim who has been exceptionally polite, professional and considerate. He’s the best tour guide/ driver we have had in all the years we’ve been traveling. A big thank you to Karim and Art de Cuivre travel agency!

Perfect adventure!
Our absolutely fabulous driver, Abdul, picked us at a spot right near our riad and drove us through the Atlas Mountains to the camels and camp. Abdul was so kind, funny and knowledgeable. He was flexible but efficient and took us to a number of fabulous look outside and rest spots for coffee and lunch. He seemed to know everything and everyone, and we adored him. The drive was long but so enjoyable, because of the beautiful, diverse Moroccan countryside. We arrived at our camels on time and had a beautiful sunset ride to the camp, guided by Abrahim, who was also fabulous. The camp was lovely and comfortable, dinner delicious, campfire and singing delightful and we capped off a good nights sleep with a climb to the top of the dunes for sunrise. And then the journey back with our friend, Abdul. This trip was perfection, highly recommend!!!

Exquisite experience, a must do in Marrakech!
Excellent experience from start to end. We started our journey in a comfortable minivan, small group of 3 which made it even better. We were not rushed and given plenty of photos opportunities, many stops throughout the drive (including toilet break which is important for the long drive) and weren’t coerced into buying anything, unlike some tours where you’re stopped at touristy spots.
Abdou was a great driver and guide for our trip though the Atlas Mountains to the Berber camp. Firstly, he was a very safe and patient driver, a must for riding through many narrow mountain roads. He also kept us relaxed by sharing soothing Moroccan and African music tracks. He took care to make a lot of stops to show us the best overlooks. He steered us to a nice lunch spot and had many local contacts who gave mini tours of mountain villages (some extra tips required). Above all he was friendly and patient and happy to answer questions and explain local phenomena and sights.
The Berber camping experience started with a 30 minute dromedary ride to the camp during a beautiful sunset, and then a tea service with our caravan guide Lahsan. He was very charming as were the other camp guides who played drum music by the fire until 10pm. Dinner wasn’t fancy, but filling—barley soup, bread, well spiced chicken and potatoes. For this city dweller, the clear starry night was incredible to see (with the Milky Way clearly visible) and the sunrise was well worth the trip.
The only caution is that the shower facilities in the camp are poor (weak and cold water) and the beds are a bit uncomfortable, especially for people over 6 feet tall.
Overall, we had a marvelous time and highly recommended.

Perfect 2-day trip from Marrakech
The trip was well planned and flexible to suit our preferences, the driver excellent and the Berber camp a cool experience. Our driver Ibrahim showed all around, was very pleasant and drove safely!
For only 2 days, the trip was an incredible sightseing opportunity and gave us brief insights into the Berber life. Great photos and cool souvenirs as well!
Only con, the organising company was very difficult to find (phone/messages) until a day before the trip.
Overall, great experience!

Excelent experience!!!
The excursion was really amazing. Although the trip is really long… Ahmed, our driver, was excellent and drive us safely during the hole trip. The only advice we can share about the trip is to take a dizziness medicine because the road has a lot of turns.
The camel ride was really funny. The camel ride guide and host, Yusseff, was very gentle with us.
Food was good and the show was very funny…

Hamid our guide was wonderful and informative tour of the mountains around Imlil. The area is spectacular and we understand why the Berbers are so proud of it. His English is good and will only get better!
