Itinerary

Meet a driver/guide at your accommodations in Marrakech for a 9am departure, then make the 40-mile (65-km) trip to the Imlil Valley in a climate-controlled vehicle, following a winding road into the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains.

On your way to the Imlil Valley, visit a group of Berber women to learn how they process the kernels of argan trees, producing golden, thick argan oil. The first stop in the Imlil Valley is the picturesque village of Asni, where you can tour a historic kasbah set high above the valley's lush, terraced farms. If you’re visiting on Saturday, explore the Berber market in the village, the perfect place to find unique souvenirs from the area.

Continue to the village of Imlil to join a local hiking guide for a 1-hour, 30-minute round-trip hike to Armed village, the final village on the way into the High Atlas. Following your hike, visit a family home for a Berber lunch of tajine, salad, and fresh fruit, with mineral water and Moroccan mint tea included.

This full-day Imlil Valley trip concludes with return transfer to your Marrakech hotel by roughly 5pm.

Wonderful hike and lunch in Imlil Valley and Atlas Mountains

John_A, Feb 2025

Abdul, my driver and guide, was fantastic! Very safe, very good English, friendly and knowledgeable. And very accommodating to my wishes. In the Atlas Mountains, he turned me over to a young local man who led an amazing hike up through hills and ravines and small villages to two beautiful waterfalls. Then we continued to a local Berber home where we had a wonderful lunch of chicken tajine with salads, bread, and dessert. Then the beautiful drive back to Marrakech. The hike was a bit strenuous, but I am 74 years old and had no problem. The local guide will also adjust the route and length to your preferences. Highly recommended!

A great day out of the hustle and bustle of the city to experience another part of Moroccan life.

Ismael drive us to Imlil. The drive flew by as he talked to us and answered questions. His English is excellent. In Imlil we met Omar (a local Berber) who took us on our 2 hour hike to the highest Berber village. We then had th opportunity to have lunch in his village, which was very special. We learnt a lot from Omar. On the drive home we stopped to buy a tagine (good to have a local with us!) Would highly recommend having a private tour.

Belle journée à Imlil
