Full description

Explore the High Atlas Mountains on a full-day excursion and discover several Berber villages and scenic landscapes. Enjoy a 2 to 3-hour hike, ride a camel along picturesque trails, and enjoy a traditional lunch in a Berber household with local mint tea.

Depart Marrakech in the morning and drive to the Moulay Brahim Gorges. Arrive at the main trailhead and experience the dramatic scenery on a camel ride. Hop back aboard the vehicle and pass Berber villages on your way through the Imlil Valley. 

Arrive at the village of Imlil where a local will welcome you with a glass of mint tea. Hike for hours to Armed, the highest and largest village in the Imlil Valley. Go by the hamlets of Ait Mizan, Targa, and Imoula on your hike to the Berber village of Ait Souka.

Stop on the way at Tamatert, and take in sweeping views of ancient irrigation terraces for barley, corn, and vegetables. Admire cherry orchards and walnut trees before you reach the home of a Berber family in Ait Souka.

Sip on a refreshing mint tea while savoring a traditional lunch in the home of a Berber family. Return by going down the other side of the valley through Taourirt and ride the van back to Marrakech at the end of the tour.

It was a beautiful tour. Youssef is a very nice guide who knows everything about the area. Very informative, helpful, flexibel and funny. I felt save in the car, the driver drove carefully. I loved the hike with very nice scenery. Also visiting the berbers villages and enjoying the local lunch was great! Riding a Camel was a special experience, although a feld a little sorry for the animals. We made many stops to take pictures. Such a big contrast compared to the hectic of the Medina. I would highly recommand this tour!

This trip was absolutely amazing. Our guide Redouane did the most incredible job explaining everything and answering questions. The scenery is just stunning. As past reviewers have said if you are after a 2/3 hike, this is not the trip for you. The lunch was delicious and the minivan pick up was efficient and on time. The only negative was the camel ride which we felt was unnecessary.

Marwan was a brilliant guide during my trip to the Atlas Mountains. He was kind, knowledgable and made us laugh all day long! The tour is jam-packed with things to do and see and all for a respectable price too. If you have a free day during your stay, I absolutely recommend this brilliant tour!
