Desert, Atlas Mountains and Berber Villages Day Trip from Marrakech
Description
AGAFAY DESERT: The excursion starts in the morning from Marrakech and your first adventure will be at Agafay, the closest desert to Marrakech. A hilly barren landscape in the foothills of the Atlas, the Agafay Desert is a playground for quad bikers and buggy enthusiasts with a backdrop of often snow-capped peaks. LAKE: The next stop will be at beautiful Lake Takerkoust where we will have a Moroccan mint tea break. This lake is a popular weekend destination where you can go boating or take a little swim. MOUNTAINS: From the lake, we will drive with the 4×4 via the Kik Plateau to the little mountain village called Imlil. We will follow a little-used mountain road to Imlil where you will have lunch at a local guesthouse. From here you will have a beautiful view of the Mizane Valley. After lunch, you will meet a local guide for a 1,5-hour walk in the area. After the walk, you will transfer back to Marrakech.

The experience was amazing, big thanks to both Yonis who was so kind and a very good story teller, and Omar Ahmed who shared with great details everything about the villages, next time I send people it will be specifically to Omar and Yonis. Can’t thank them enough!
We went on the ‘High Atlas Adventure’ day trip which we booked through the Riad we are staying with. Our guides name was Ibrahim and he was friendly, knowledgable and looked after us very well. He went out of his way to ensure we were happy with everything along the way and we loved the trip. We had lunch at Riad Kasbah which is a beautiful place and we were really looked after there too.
Youness was an excellent guide - very considerate and kind, plus spoke English. He showed us Asni, a women’s cooperative and the Berber village of Ouirgane
The tour in Imlil has been amazing. Our driver Youness has been very kind and he expleined many intersting things about berber culture. The guide Ibrahim guided as safely in our avventure to the peak of the mountain
Thank you for your great feedback, we much appreciate it!
We had a great day trip out to the Atlas mountains with our guide Younes, who was showing us around and made our trip very special. After a pleasant ride with stops at several nice sights and spots for fotos we also did a guided walking tour, passing Berber villages and houses. People are very welcoming and friendly. Can recommend highly!
Great to hear that you enjoyed your trip with us, we much appreciate it
During my stay at the Riad Kheirredine in Marrakech I took advantage of a day trip to Imlil, among the Berber villages at the foot of the Atlas range. The Service at this property is impeccable: punctuality, efficiency, availability, humanity. Walk at the foot of the Tubkal, visit a wonderful waterfall, lunch at the riad of the structure. Everything perfect and great. On my return to Marrakech I will reuse this facility for new excursions.
We had the pleasure to be guided around a full day by Hicham. On the trip he brought us to some great places in Agafay desert and the Atlas region. He provided us with excellent background information in impeccable English on the real Moroccan and Berber way of life. The visit to Saida's place, the Berber mountain village and the delicious lunch was memorable. The encounters along the way, the the unique personalities of Hicham and Saida and their hospitality,... they made this trip an unforgettable experience. I can recommend this private tour to anyone looking for an inspiring and enriching immersion in authentic Morocco.
Great to hear that you enjoyed your day trip with us!
We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip. Abdulrahim, our driver was great throughout the day, always on time and a joy to spend the day with. So was our local Berber tour guide, who was friendly and very insightful. The villages, mountains and waterfall were all very pretty. We also had the best tea, stopping over to speak to the Argan oil ladies. Definitely recommend.
