We had such a fun day on this trip 😄 The weather was honestly perfect, sunny but not too hot, so it made walking around Imlil and enjoying the mountains really comfortable. The views were beautiful and it was just a nice break from the city. One thing we really liked was that it was a small group, so it felt more relaxed and not crowded at all. The bus ride was smooth and comfortable too, no stress, everything went easy. The camel ride was a fun little experience, a bit touristy but in a good way 😂 and the food was actually really good, simple but tasty, especially after the walk. Yassine the guide was great, super friendly and easygoing. He made sure everyone was comfortable and kept the vibe relaxed the whole day. Overall just a really nice day with good vibes, good people and no stress. Definitely recommend 👍
