Itinerary
Fall in love with the varied and unique beauty of Morocco’s valleys, mountains, countryside, and desert on this full-day guided excursion from Marrakech. After pickup at around 9:00 AM, head to the Atlas Mountains, passing through a small village where you can visit a traditional Berber Weekley souk (market).
Arrive in Imlil and take a trek by foot or by camel to Armed, the highest and largest village in Imlil Valley. Your journey will take you past waterfalls and the hamlets of Ait Mizan, Targa, and Imoula. Stop off in Tamatert to take in views of ancient irrigated fields of barley, corn, and vegetables, surrounded by cherry and walnut trees. Your guide will point out interesting sites and tell you about Berber culture and heritage along the way.
Come back down through the village of Ait Souka, where you’ll meet a Berber family and enjoy a traditional Moroccan meal as a guest in their home. Head next to Kik Plateau, at 1,800 meters altitude, offering spectacular 360-degree views, and in spring, a marvelous spread of alpine flowers.

The tour was not as described on here we didn't go to Agafay, Lalla Takerkoust,Plateau du Kik or Sunday amizmiz. The tour and arrangement was all fine until after lunch. When we went back to the car and I passed out and then realized we were already back in the city. I message Abdul the tour guide about it after and so did the tour operator but the refused to answer. I feel lied to and cheated and worst thing is their lack was response. I want a partial refund as we didn't do half the places listed....but of course no where to request for this and this is false advertisement. I was wondering why the tour was so cheap and now I know
Top driver, careful, super calm despite the work on the road. Thanks to Djemal our great local guide. Kind, attentive and always ready to answer our questions. The landscapes are magnificent, the Berber gastronomy succulent, the sunset in Agafay unforgettable!
Nice meeting with Mustapha, a reliable guide, very professional who introduces you to his native region. Benevolent towards everyone, we feel his desire to please. The small walk as well as the tajine and couscous lunch on the terrace of the family home were perfect. And then, to finish in style, the sunset over the Agafay desert.
Our guide Mustapha was very knowledgeable , friendly and helpful. He is a great ambassador for his country besutiful Morroco!!! Two thumbs up!
It was a good and unique experience with mustapha and abdul, they are super friendly and nice. I recommend this agency and certainly will come again.
There’s a reason Mustapha has a perfect rating, he’s the best in Morocco. There are lots of tours but this one is truly special. Meeting his family in the end for a meal on top of their house, with an amazing view is just incredible. Worth triple what we paid for it!
Look for no more and book this experience. We booked this experience on 28th September, and we still talk about it. It was truly perfect. Mustapha picked us up (luxury comfy 6 seater car with AC) with his driver (also funny and lovely person) and first we went for camel ride (40min great experience), then to the High Atlas mountain (beautiful landscapes and hiking) and we had lunch at his house in the Berber village, after we went to Agafay desert for sunset. All the time he provided us with tea, water, orange juice and traditional Berber Tajine and couscous (delicious). It was the best day during our trip in Morocco, we stopped everywhere for pictures (good photogenic spots and he is good at taking your pics) and had tons of fun. Highly recommend!
