Start from Marrakech in the morning, drive into the Atlas Mountains through scenic countryside, arrive in Imlil, explore the mountain village and its surroundings, enjoy lunch and local culture, and return to Marrakech by afternoon/evening. The tour is well-suited both for moderate walkers and for less active travellers (with optional activities).
Most tours are around 8-9 hours in total.
This day-tour offers an easy escape from the hustle of Marrakech into the mountain realm of the Berber communities. You’ll travel into the foothills of the High Atlas, arriving at Imlil — a gateway village for mountain treks and for experiencing traditional life. In between the stunning views of rugged peaks, terraced fields and walnut orchards, you’ll enjoy genuine hospitality: walking or riding a mule, having lunch in a local home, and meeting local guides who bring the culture alive. The tour is flexible and can be adjusted (gentle walk or more active) so suitable both for families and casual travellers.
