We had a wonderful hike with Abdula (Life Wont Last Forever +212666193820) through the Monkey Fingers Gorge and then lunch at his home with his wife, Soukayna and daughter, Siman, and mother, Fatima. The Hike was 50 euros and lunch for the two of us was 30 euros. It was a wonderful experience. We recommend him!
Idriss is a formidable guide! Thanks to his guidance I made the best out of my hike in the Dades Gorges. Also, we went on a drive through the Atlas to the Rose Valley on a route that he knew; priceless experience that I hope I could do again soon with some friends.
We were welcomed ahead of time and it started right away. An adventurous experience with a very nice guide. The stopover at the nomads for a tea was also very nice.
Thank you very much for your kind review! It was a pleasure guiding you through the Dades Valley and sharing the beauty of the region with you. I'm delighted that you enjoyed the experience. Your feedback means a lot to me and helps other travelers discover our tours. I hope to welcome you back to Morocco someday. Safe travels and best wishes!"
Organized a little last minute this trip as a couple to the Monkey Fingers with Idriss who was very quick to respond and super helpful. I meet at the parking lot and then ride in the slot canyon, we had arranged for him to bring us sandwiches too and we ate them calmly and coolly in the nomad caves. At the end of the trip we accompanied Idriss back to the hotel and she strongly advised us to go to the Todra gorges through the mountain passes... an incredible experience and one of the most beautiful of our trip to Morocco. If you are in the Dadès region I highly recommend to organize something with Idriss, even just a walk and ask for advice from him who knows the area.

Stunning gorges and guided by a nice and professional Idriss who helps you making the most of your experience. Highly recommend it.
In October I did a very nice hike in Dades with the local guide Idriss. For the first time we went uphill from where we could enjoy the view of the beautiful area. Then the path led into the valley and along the river into the old and the new village. On the way, Idriss talked about the life of the people in the area, the nature, the animals, the development of the village and the nomads who live up in the mountains and come to the village every other day to the river with their sheep (which we also see, by the way). Since he's from the area, he knows his way around. In the end we were invited to tea in a house in the village. The hike took three hours and was not too strenuous for average fit people. Idriss adapted the pace to us, gave us enough time to look, ask and of course take photos ;). On the way back, we laughed at some jokes he told. It was a very nice, relaxed and informative morning with a very nice and trustworthy guide. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful!
We made an unforgettable hike in the mountains and Dades Valley Stunning landscapes! A beauty that transports you! Idriss child of the country , was an exceptional guide, he knew how to share all his knowledge and explain to us the uses and customs of the inhabitants of the valley We will return without hesitation to do other hikes with Idriss
A beautiful 4-day tour made from the Dades to Rose Valley , Imilchil and Todra Gorges. A wonderfully beautiful changing landscape. And guide Idriss who alerted me to animals, plants, rock formations along the way. I was so impressed by the apparent emptiness and beauty of this area that I would have missed a lot without Idriss. He saw every bird, every squirrel.... The three hotels were very different, and therefore extra fun. A special tour through a special part of Morocco. Definitely recommended!
Had an amazing time here! Would definitely go there again. Service was top notch, and the food was amazing (best we had in Morocco! Definitely try the specialty of the house ^^). We also did a guided walk with Idriss, which was wonderful, he had loads to show us and was very knowledgeable overall. The setting was incredible, with a gorgeous view of the gorge.
A beautiful tour with a guide who always made me aware of small details. Animals, plants, mountains, which I would not have seen because of the impressive landscape. Every time they stopped to enjoy a little longer and to take a picture. Nice hotels in this seemingly deserted world of the Dadès through the Rose Valley and the Todra Gorges to the starting point. Unforgettable!
