Our day trip to the Atlas Mountains from Marrakech is the best opportunity to get out of the bustling Marrakech and enjoy the wild nature Agafay desert and Toubkal National Park have to offer. With this private tour, avoid the hassle of an independent trip and combine the Agafay with a trip to the Atlas Mountains. Explore the Berber villages and souks; cross the Kik plateau and finish with a camel ride in the Agafay before returning.

What to expect
Agafay
30m
About 20 km from Marrakech, the desert of Agafay is the big unknown tourist interest.
A large arid region with white ripples over hundreds of hectares, which could be taken for sand dunes but which are in fact a succession of whitish hills reminding our distant and inaccessible Erg. An amazing sight at the gates of the red city. On the way, the massif of the High Atlas stands out as a backdrop while we may meet here or there a muleteer or a small oasis where some families continue to occupy this land austere but so beautiful.
Lalla Takerkoust
20m
Enjoy some off the beaten track drive to the lake of Lalla Takerkoust where you will stop to enjoy the view and take photos.
Plateau du Kik
20m
Next stop at the slopes of the Atlas Mountains before you continue your drive through the mountainous tiny roads to Kik Plateau admiring the views of Berber villages scattered left and right. A generous Berber lady will welcome our guests for a tea ceremony in her modest raw brick house. She will bake homemade bread served with an extra virgin olive oil.
Imlil
1h
From here we will carry on through rough terrains to Imlil village, where we will leave our 4x4 and enjoy an hour moderate hike to ‘’Armed’’, a tiny Berber village located at the heart of Toubkal National Park, famous for its splendid views of Toubkal Mountain, the highest peak of North Africa ( 4 167 m high )There is an also a small cascade not to miss, and surely your local guide will show you the way there.
After a delicious Berber Tagine lunch served by a host family in ‘’Armed’’ Village, descend back to Imlil, and enjoy a smooth ride back to Marrakech through Tahennaout, the main town in the region, where the weekly market takes place every Tuesday.
Your Atlas Mountains day trip will come to an end with a drop off at your hotel or riad in Marrakech.
