Atlas Mountains & 3 Valleys Waterfalls and Camel Ride Marrakech
Description
After a morning transfer from your Marrakech accommodation, set off south towards the Atlas Mountains aboard an air-conditioned minibus and in the company of your guide. Take in the views and, after stops at a traditional village and argan oil cooperative, continue through lush valleys, covered with orchards and framed by craggy peaks. Stop for a camel ride before venturing deep into the Imlil Valley. Pause for Moroccan tea and cake on a panoramic terrace, and let your guide know if you want to get to the next stop on foot, by vehicle, or by mule. Depart for the village of Ait Souka your chosen way, soaking up the scenery and tranquility along the way. Here, enjoy a traditional Berber lunch, including a tagine (simmered stew) and couscous, and visit a Berber family's home to learn about their way of life. Exploring the Atlas Mountains of Morocco without a guide risks missing out on Berber culture and panoramic viewpoints.
