Marrakech Guided Tour From Casablanca With Camel Ride

Warning: Round trip to and from is a total of six hours. Driver was fantastic. Beware: Guild will take you thru market in a clover leaf pattern to make it seem that it is bigger then it is. Will take you to “special places” with “best prices”. Will attempt to delay your purchases till the end and go to a “special co-op”. Place is a pit full of junk. “Special places” put extreme pressure to sell rugs, natural herbs and spices low quality materials. Very disappointed in guild. Contact operator by e mail or phone to make sure that this doesn’t happen to you.

Warning: the drive is 3 hours each way from Casablanca. Driver was wonderful. Guild showed market in clover leaf pattern and was attempting to make it look larger then it really was. Told group that at end we would shop at a lovely co-op with best prices. Place was a dump. Made group go to “selected” merchants and group was pressured to purchase merchandise. Camel experience was great. Driver was great.

The drivers and guides were pleasant. The trip was a full day. The camel ride was sublime, and afterwards there was a delicious Moroccan lunch. After that, we ventured into Marrakech where a guide showed us several key sites. There wasn't enough free time to peruse the medina to shop for anything, and the guide stopped at a particular carpet vendor who tried to pull a hard sell. The same thing happened at a silver jewelry shop. I just told the vendors I wasn't interested in buying anything. We saw some cool things, but I wish I had a little more time to see each of the places we saw. Overall, I'd say it's worth it, but keep in mind that driving to and from Casablanca takes up a considerable chunk of the day.

We had an amazing day :) our driver was fluent in English, helpful and really kind :) Casablanca and Marrakesh were really colorful, and we met a whole different world there :) and the camel ride was a lifetime experience :) I highly recommend this trip for everyone.

El viaje se realizó de Casablanca a Marrakech y tomó aproximadamente tres horas de ida y tres de vuelta, pero valió mucho la pena. Marrakech es un sitio muy atractivo, lleno de cosas interesantes. Lamentamos no tener más tiempo para disfrutar ese muy atractivo lugar.
