Roses Valley & Dades Gorges day trip from Ouarzazate – itinerary:

After breakfast, you set out our your day trip as your driver picks you up at 08:30 from your riad. You follow the route of a thousand Kasbahs to Skoura Oasis. Here, you will stop to visit Kasbah Amridhil, which used to be featured in the old 50 dirham banknote.

The kasbah has been beautifully restored and is well worth visiting. It is constructed entirely of adobe, an excellent building material that keeps room temperature cool in the summer and warm in the winter due to the thickness of the walls. You will visit the Kasbah and explore its museum.

Then, you travel through the beautiful Valley of the Roses as far as Kel’aa M’gouna, where over 4000 tons of roses are harvested every spring from this desert oasis! Here, you can visit a local cooperative producing cosmetic articles from the valley’s abundant roses. These organic products are highly valued. The best month to see the roses is early May before the three-day Rose Festival.

Having arrived in the Dades Valley, you will have lunch in one of the kasbahs overlooking the valley. In the afternoon, you will have time to go for a walk in the valley, stroll by the fields and gardens and explore life in the oases.

We arrive back in Ouarzazate by the end of the afternoon. Your one-day trip ends as your driver transfers you to your riad.

Beautiful Medina tour We had Yassine as a guide and he did an excellent job! He showed us the beautiful Medina, the palace and Madrassa Ben Youssef. It was a very nice experience for us because it is a bit quieter in the morning so you can observe everything clearly! Recommended!

Great intro to Marrakech with our guide, Yassine We loved our guide, Yassine! He did a great job going at a pace that was suitable for our two young boys (ages 7 & 4) and kept them engaged as my husband and I shopped for rugs. He brought us to very high quality vendors as well but we never felt pushed to purchase.

Great city tour - strongly recommended Me and my friend came to Marrakesh for 1 day and a city tour was what we needed. Our guide, namesd Said, comes from a Berber tribe and speaks good english. Very friendly and chatty guy who has a lot of information about the monuments and history. We took a walk through Medina (old city) passing by multiple shops and food stols. Onlybthat itself was an experience. Combination of colors, smells, proportions, design, esthetics of the architecture was overwhelming. Absolutely senses stimulating. Use reccommendations for the tour - comfy shoes, water and a sunscreen are a must. The tour took us nearly 4h, we walked over 8km. If you need a toilet there are free ones in the Bahia Palace ( go to the one AFTER small riad). Make sure to have cash on you because very often ATMs are not working, currency exchange points, restaurants and local shops don't accept cards. We also visited a para pharmacy to learn about argan oil, spices, herbs and teas. We got a cup of fantastic local tea and tested a lot of products - we could pay by card there. However, it wasn't the cheapest place, so if you have time, have a strall in the market to compare the prices. Tips for the guid are more then welcome. Read how to tip in Morocco because it's usually higher in european countries. Strongly recommended. Thank you Said!

A memorable trip with a dedicated team!! Hamza and his team are very, very professional! We loved our trip, especially thanks to Aziz who was an exceptional guide in every way. Traveling with 3 young children is never easy, especially when you cover a lot of kilometers but it was really great. We recommend without reservation

Very knowledgeable and kind. Highly recommend! Brahim was very knowledgeable and led us through the medina. He even took me to a very reputable rug shop and waited for me after. We chatted a lot about the craftsmanship and architecture on our walk and I could tell he sincerely loves Morocco. He was patient while everyone took photos as we waded through the crowds

A successful and unforgettable stay We spent 3 unforgettable days. Magnificent landscapes and sites, superb walks and especially in the company of Abdel. In a very relaxed atmosphere and with measured discretion, he guided us to the right places and made great discoveries. We learned a lot alongside him. It was a real success. Nicole and Co.
