• Marrakech - Morning Pickup in Marrakech & Departure Toward the Mountains

The day begins peacefully in Marrakech. At approximately 8:30 AM, travelers are met at the final pickup location, ready for a day filled with exploration. As the city fades into the distance, the scenery begins to transform.

Travelers take the picturesque road south, where the bustling city of Marrakech gives way to expansive plains and refreshing air. Along the journey, the first glimpses of the High Atlas Mountains emerge — snow-covered in winter, and soft and golden in summer.

This initial part of the drive offers a chance to unwind, enjoy the journey, and experience the shift from urban life to the tranquility of the mountains. It sets the stage for a day focused on connection — with nature, culture, and the Berber lifestyle.

The first stop is in a Berber village called “Azro,” offering a Jewish heritage experience.

After a brief drive, visitors will explore the women’s argan oil cooperative.

• Imlil - Scenic Photo Stop in Agresiwal Village

The journey continues deeper into the mountains until reaching Agresiwal, a picturesque Berber village nestled along the hillsides. Known for its terraced fields, stone paths, and mud-brick houses, this village embodies the essence of mountain life in its purest form.

A short stop here allows for admiration of the landscape and capturing stunning photos. It’s a serene moment to breathe in the mountain air and appreciate the enduring architecture and farming traditions.

For those interested, a quick Moroccan coffee or mint tea can be enjoyed at a nearby village café (optional and not included in the tour price), before continuing on.

• Imlil - Optional Guided Hike in Imlil Valley

Arriving in the tranquil mountain village of Imlil, the gateway to Toubkal National Park and one of Morocco’s most picturesque hiking areas, travelers have the option to join a local guide for a 1.5-hour walk through the Imlil Valley — a gentle and immersive route suitable for most fitness levels.

The trail passes walnut groves, flowing streams, and small Berber hamlets built into the hillsides. The well-known Imlil waterfall is also along the way, with ample time for photos and water breaks.

• Imlil - Lunch at Your Guide’s Family Home

Following the hike (or a peaceful rest on the rooftop), the group gathers for a home-cooked Berber lunch — not in a restaurant, but in the warm, welcoming home of the local guide.

Seated on the rooftop terrace, surrounded by panoramic views of the High Atlas peaks and the lush valley below, Moroccan hospitality is at its finest: the table is set with homemade chicken tagine, slow-cooked with local spices. Vegetarian and vegan options are available — just inform in advance.

Dessert includes seasonal fruit.

This lunch is more than just a meal — it’s a moment of genuine connection, shared with a local family in the heart of the Atlas Mountains. The lunch is not included in the tour price; payment is made directly to the Berber family, supporting their small local business. Cost: 8€.

• Marrakech - Return to Marrakech

After lunch and some relaxation, it’s time to bid farewell to the mountains and begin the drive back to Marrakech. The return journey takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes, descending from the cool heights of Imlil back to the warmth and vibrancy of the city.

As always, each traveler will be dropped off at the same location where they were picked up in the morning — whether it’s a riad, hotel, or central meeting point — ensuring the day ends with care and comfort.

For those seeking more than just a photo opportunity and wishing to experience the warmth of local hospitality, this journey is ideal.
