Morning: Climbing into the Atlas Foothills

We collect you from your riad or hotel in Marrakech and transfer you comfortably to the Atlas Mountains on your Marrakech-to-Imlil day trip. We drive south, and the tall mountain peaks we could see from the city are now right in front of us. The bustling city streets give way to mountain roads that wind through red earth and olive trees. It is one of the most popular day trips from Marrakech for nature lovers and hiking fans.
You will start your day trip to Imlil with a drive through the small towns of Tahnaout and Asni. If you go on Saturday, you can visit the local market and watch the villagers trading their goods. This is one of the most authentic cultural stops in our day tours from Marrakech and Marrakech activities. As we start to go higher into the mountains, you will experience the warm friendliness that is the hallmark of all our Morocco tours.

12:00 PM: Trek & Lunch in Berber Village

As soon as we reach the village of Imlil, your day trip to Imlil continues. You will take a guided walk around the valley. You will join your local guide as he takes you past tiny cascading waterfalls and groves of green orchards. This is one of our most loved Marrakech excursions, as this peaceful trek feels a very far distance from the bustle of the city. You know from all our Morocco tours that the mountains offer a quiet and natural luxury.
You will then be welcomed for lunch by a local family in their stone house who will serve you hot mountain tagine. Your day trip to Imlil will have you sitting on a terrace with a view of the entire valley. It’s a must-do experience that guests always love on a Morocco desert trip or Marrakech day trip. It provides a personal and human touch that only the best luxury Morocco tours can give.

Afternoon: return through mountain scenery

The last part of your Imlil day trip is a walk through the village of Aroumd. Here you can get some great shots of the valley below before meeting up with our driver again. It adds something really special to your Marrakech tours or excursions in Marrakech. It’s a one-of-a-kind memory. The mountain energy stays with you way after your trip is over.
End your day trip to Imlil with one final glass of mint tea together. It’s a brief getaway that brings you all the enchantment of a Morocco tour—in a fresh mountain breeze. The last step is your return drive to Marrakech in a private air-conditioned vehicle. It is one of those stories that you will want to tell with your other Morocco holiday memories. holiday memories.
