Additional Information

Embark on a memorable one-day journey to the Atlas Mountains and Berber settlements from Marrakech. This multi-faceted trip offers a genuine peek into the distinct Berber culture and the way of life in the Atlas mountains, under the guidance of a local mountain escort. Setting off from your Marrakech lodging, your seasoned local escort will lead you on an adventure unveiling the undisclosed aspects of Berber life, complemented by a cup of refreshing mint tea. The Berber community has been a part of Northern Africa since 4000 BC.

The retreat is structured to provide an invaluable chance to merge trekking in the Atlas Mountains via its characteristic villages and concealed pathways during the morning hours. The latter half of your day will be dedicated to a spectacular camel ride spanning close to half an hour in the mountains. You will also have ample time during lunch at a Berber household to better understand the local way of life and gain insightful knowledge about their traditional practices and the history of Morocco’s Berbers.

We eagerly look forward being a part of the creation of an extraordinary and unforgettable experience for you.

Youness made the day! - Youness definitely made the day extra special. He was really friendly and great fun to be around. His local knowledge gave a really personal and informative tour and he was great fun to be around and the drive was made with his impromptu karaoke - really good fun! The day started with the camel ride which was great and then a drive through the desert and into the mountains where we had a lovely lunch on the terrace followed by a walk into the mountains and waterfall. Absolutely stunning. Last stop was a visit to the womens' co-operative where they produce Argan Oil and products. A really special day made extra special by Youness - thank you

Memorable experience, a must do with guide Youness - We did this tour on our 25th wedding anniversary and it was one of the most memorable days of our trip to Morocco. A huge part of that came from our experience with Youness Ali, our young tour guide, who was so personable and fun. He was a local with deep knowledge of the area and he kept us entertained throughout with his engaging explanations and lo and behold, also played DJ for the day and picked memorable local and international songs to make the ride up and down the mountains more memorable. In addition, he accommodated our food restrictions. The trip includes lunch at a very charming mountaintop restaurant. The trip does include a trek up the mountains to up to around 350 feet, so come prepared with good walking shoes. And since we did it in February, it was snowing up top, so do wear layers and get good winter jacket. We also visited the charming village of Azro on the way along with a argan oil cooperative. The camel ride on the rocky Agafe desert was also different and enjoyable. But the hike up to the waterfalls in the Atlas stole the show. We highly recommend Youness and this trip!

Fantastic! - Youness was amazing! Very friendly, and witty. What I liked the most was that the group we travelled with was not big - which meant more of a family atmosphere. We all enjoyed the day, and especially the lunch and the camel ride. Thank you for a very memorable day indeed!

Atlas Mountain + Camel Ride + Tea & Food - This experience was a 10/10 would definitely recommend, outstanding activities/views for its price, also the guide Youness made the experience EVEN 100x better by entertaining us with his 'singing' 😂 and explanation of some of the locations such as the 'villages' 'farms' and more. His english was excellent and could definitely provide a good time for all of us, also a big thanks to Mohammed our driver who worked hard driving throughout the whole 2-3 hour journey! The people on the tour was very friendly and easy to get comfortable with, the views are outstanding and did not fail to amuse us. I went with a family of 3 (My Son & Wife) and it was great, so i definitely recommend this trip as it is 1) Cheap 2) Entertaining (The Hotel Travel Agencies Charge ALOT more) so i would recommend booking it online (especially this tour) , because the experience is most likely better for the price you paid. We also go to a restaurant with Morroco's main cuisine 'Tangine' which was also a 10/10 and didn’t disappoint. Our favourite moment was probably the camels or the mountains. We thank Youness and Mohammed for their services and this trip was a 10/10 experience !!

Best experience in the atlas mountain. So happy - Me and my friends had a wonderful day in the atlas mountain witj our guide who become our friend during our stay in Morocco. We meet with him at the airport as he was our representer he was waiting for us at the airport with a sing with our name. We had a lovely chat with him about morocco's best places to visit. He recommended the atlas mountain as he was familiar with the area,it was nice from him to join us, we started our road by listening to some moroccan country songs to explore more the culture. We stopped at the first village, at every stop he would tell tjz stories and the culture of each one of the villages, until we reach his home town, where he was kind of to ask to join him and his family to eat at their modest house. We had some moroccan pancakes with some honey and butter which a preferred meal in Morocco. At the end of the trip it was an extraordinary day, from the guide to the driver, and the car was very confortable with conditioning. What an incredible trip. Thank you Moroccan memory Makers travel, i be definitely using you againe
