    Itinerary!

    Leave the city behind and discover some of Morocco's wildest and most breathtaking scenery on this full-day, multi-faceted tour. After pickup from your hotel or the meeting point at 8:30 am, you will be driven from Marrakech only an hour and half to the heart of the Atlas. At our first stop we will take pictures against the backdrop of the scenic Tahanout valley and visit a women’s argan coperative where you will enjoy some Moroccan tea and taste fresh argan oil before the ladies explain their work. Then we will continue our drive to the Atlas Mountains where our walking adventure will begin. We will pass through the quaint Berber villages dotted throughout the Imlil Valley--stopping as frequently as you like to rest and take photos-- then enjoy a lunch prepared lovingly in the traditional Moroccan way by a local family.
    Afterwards we will walk past the picturesque waterfalls before we meet our driver.
    After this fun packed day we will make our way back to Marrakech for a 5:00 pm arrival.

    Saturday and Tuesday tours also include a visit to a local Berber farmer's market.

    Note 1: the total duration of walk is 2.5 hours but transportation will be provided for people who do not want to walk
    Note 2: we will discover Tahanout, Asni and Imlil valleys.

    Perfect day trip from the busy medina! Review of: Full-Day Shared Guided Tour at Atlas Mountains with Lunch Our perfect getaway and day trip from the busy medina! Elhoussain was the best guide and we learned so much about the region, Berber culture and Moroccan history. We enjoyed the light hike at the Imlil foothills and the tajine feast cooked by his mother. Definitely recommend going on this tour because of Elhoussain! A hospitable and knowledgeable guide that made us felt welcomed in his country.
