Atlas Mountains Hike and Berber Village Experience

  • Begin the trip from Marrakech and drive for 2 hours through the Moulay Brahim Gorges and the Berber village of Asni.

  • Continue to Imlil Crossing, a vibrantly green valley that stays fresh and lush even during the hottest days of summer.

  • Head to Imlil, a small village in the foothills of Morocco's highest mountains, including Toubkal Mountain. Imlil is the centre for hiring mountain guides and mules due to its unique position and its connection to several Berber villages. It is also the starting point for treks and hikes up Toubkal Mountain.

  • Arrive in Imlil and start riding mules for around 40 minutes toward the south to the Berber village of Aroumd (Aremd) (1843 m), set in the upper foothills of the Western High Atlas Mountains.

  • Have a traditional lunch in a Berber house in the village of Aroumd.

  • Embark on a short walk before returning to Marrakech.

  • Take a tea break before walking and riding back to Marrakech.
