What to expect

  1. Agafay
    1h
    At the scheduled time we'll swing by to pick you up at your hotel in Marrakech. Then, we'll hop on a 4x4 jeep to kick off this tour through the imposing Imlil Valley.
  2. Lalla Takerkoust
    1h
    We'll begin by traveling through the Haouz plain towards the Agafay desert, located just an hour’s drive from the city. Our first stop will be at the man-made Lalla Takerkoust Lake, whose water runs down from the majestic Grand Atlas Mountains.
  3. Plateau du Kik
    1h
    Continue your excursion to the settlement of Aguergour, where you'll enjoy Moroccan mint tea with a local family who will explain their traditions and way of life. Learn the customs of this nomad village as you explore the breathtaking Kik Plateau.
  4. Asni
    30m
    Before reaching the village of Imlil, we'll visit the small town of Asni and, if the tour takes place on Saturday, we'll explore the local Amazigh market, where the people of the Atlas Mountains come weekly to shop.
  5. Imlil
    2h
    Next, head to the village of Imlil, located in the high Atlas Mountains, and embark on a walking tour accompanied by an English-speaking guide. Admire the hamlet’s typical buildings, adapted to the rugged landscape of the peaks, and then set off on a one-hour tour by mule to get a closer look at this unique scenery.
  6. 1h
    Then, we'll climb back on the all-terrain vehicle to head back to Marrakech. During the journey, you'll come across various Amazigh settlements scattered across the mountains. We'll see towns such as Aroumed, where we'll stop to enjoy the terraces lined with cherry and walnut trees. We'll even be able to admire the highest peak in North Africa, Jebel Toubkal from this vantage point.
  7. 1h
    By now, you'll have worked up an appetite! Before ending the tour, you'll be able to enjoy a traditional Moroccan meal in Tagadirt in the home of an Amazigh family if you wish (not included in the price of the tour). After lunch, we'll take a short walk around the village and finally head back to Marrakech.
  8. Marrakech
    Pass by
    After eight hours of sightseeing, the tour will come to an end back at the starting point.
