There will be plenty of opportunities along the way to snap photos to remember your experience.

Spend this full day out from Marrakech exploring the waterfalls of Ouzoud, and going on a guided hike through the olive trees and into the gorge. You'll be collected from your hotel or riad in Marrakech, then driven with your small group (max 15) to the waterfalls, where you will have a few hours to enjoy yourself, including having a tagine at one of the local cafes (an additional expense).

The kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou is one of the most popular day trip destinations from Marrakech. This guided tour visits the UNESCO World Heritage Site with spectacular views of the Atlas Mountains and Sahara Desert. Plus an optional camel ride through the desert, and lunch can easily be added to your experience.

Morocco’s Agafay Desert is a landscape of traditional Berber villages and spectacular mountain scenery—but its remote location makes exploring a challenge. On this tour, begin with pickup at your Marrakech hotel and spin through the foothills of the High Atlas mountains with your guide. Savor mint tea in a local Berber house and tackle the sandy terrain the traditional way on a camel safari.

Explore the Atlas Mountains and learn about Berber culture when you wander through their villages on this small group day trip where you’ll be riding a horse. Your guide will lead you through juniper and oak forests, and to see some incredible views over the Asni valley. Later you’ll have lunch in Imlil, go for a short walk, and then get back to Marrakech.

Nothing says “Morocco vacation” like riding a camel across the sands, but arranging a camel ride independently often involves a ton of haggling. Capture epic photos as you process along Taghazout’s Atlantic coast at sunset on this small-group tour, with a guide to lead the way and assist if required. Afterwards, enjoy a mint tea and a barbecue dinner with fruit. For ease, your tour includes 2-way hotel transfers.

If you’re looking for an escape from the busy streets of Marrakesh, take a trek through the Atlas Mountains. Join a private guide and venture to the Imlil Valley where the great Mount Toubkal is located. Then, spend the next two days trekking to the summit and enjoying unparalleled views of the neighboring peaks and small Berber villages.

On the first day, ride to Imlil from Marrakesh and begin your trek. You'll head along the Ait Mizane Valley, pass through the village of Aremd and onto the shrine of Sidi Chamarouch. You’ll follow mule tracks into the high rocky cliffs, climbing steadily above the snow line until you reach the Toukbal Refuge. Rest here for the night. On the second day, you’ll follow the southern circle route. The climb itself is not highly strenuous, but scree and altitude changes may make it difficult in parts. Don't worry - there are plenty of views to distract you along the way. When you reach the summit, soak in the 360-degree-view. You'll see the Marrakech Plain and the High Atlas Mountains to the north, all the way to the Anti-Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert in the south. From the peak, you’ll head back down the mountain and return to Marrakesh via Imill.
