One of the best experiences we had so far. Very kind and thoughtful driver/guide, Abdou, he gave us a lot of Marrakesch insights, he picked us up and drove us back to the location we wished for. He actually made reservations in the restaurant we wanted to go and arranged for us to be picked up by a waiter in the restaurant and he waited with us until he came. His service was beyond expectations same us the man who took care of us during our camel ride, he made us small souvenirs, a camel-shapped ring and bracelet. This was the cutest thing I ever seen so far. Thank you so much for everything! We will never forget this.

The ride we took on the beautiful dromedaries was a highlight of our visit to Morocco. The outing was very well organized. We were picked up at our hotel at the agreed time, and arrived at the Palmeraie after a 20-minute drive. Getting on, as well as riding the dromedaries was smooth and not at all bumpy! Our guides were very friendly. It was also clear that they really care for their animals. The dromedaries all have names: ours were Fatima, Scooby-Doo, Khadija, Malika, and Mariam. Afterwards, we had some delicious mint tea.
