Additional Information

Following our initial meeting at your Riad or chosen rendezvous point, we’ll embark on our memorable cultural excursion towards the towering Atlas Mountains and its profound valleys. A few kilometers into our southern journey, we’ll take a pause just before arriving at the Asni valley, our first destination, to capture photographs of the oldest Berber settlement. The journey continues deeper into the mountain valleys, proceeding to a gorge where we’ll break to capture more memorable moments with our cameras. We’ll then proceed to my hometown, the Imlil valley, where my kinfolk await us with a revitalizing cup of mint tea followed by a scrumptious lunch served on a rooftop terrace offering panoramic views of the vast valley. Throughout your visit, you’ll have the chance to engage with the locals, thus gaining deeper insights into our culture and way of living. After a gratifying meal, we’ll embark on a two-hour exploration of the Toubkal Massif and the Berber village. Once our tour concludes, we’ll head back to Marrakech, with me beaming to impart a comprehensive understanding of the Berber culture. Our estimated arrival time back to Marrakeck is around 6 pm.

Wonderfull day in the valley and desert - Houssain picked us up in Marrakech and we experienced a wonderfull day. The walk through the valley was lovely and he could tell us a lot about the area and the villages. The lunch was delicious with a pretty view and he made sure our day was just as we liked!

Lovely day trip away from Marrakesh - Lovely day out visiting the Atlas Mountains and Berber villages, pick up was prompt in a immaculate air conditioned mini van by a friendly driver named khalid. We headed towards the Atlas Mountains and stopped and numerous areas to admire the views and take pictures. We arrived at a tradition Berber village where we met out walking guid Salim, he was very nice and took us on a 1.5 hour hike all around the valley and we stopped to see the waterfalls. The hike was the best part of the day! Really enjoyed being out in the wilderness admiring all the views. Then we stopped for lunch in a super scenic rooftop setting which was really lovely before heading back to Marrakesh.

Amazing taste of Marrakech and Berber culture - My friends and I had an amazing experience with Omar a few weeks ago. He was a great guide, very knowledgeable of the area, and we had an amazing time. The traditional Berber lunch was delicious and with a beautiful view. Moreover, it was very easy to communicate with the driver about pick up and it was nice to have the whole day organized. I would recommend this tour for anyone who wants to get a taste of different aspects of Marrakech, like the dessert, mountains, and markets.
