Marrakech to Imlil and Berber Villages in the Atlas Mountains

  • Meet your tour guide at the agreed-upon location in Marrakech and depart for Imlil via Tahanaout and the gorges of Moulay Brahim, following a winding mountain road punctuated by small Berber villages. Each village is nestled against the foothills of the Atlas. This Berber village in the heart of the Atlas is an administrative centre and market for the inhabitants of the surrounding mountains.

  • Walk to the Cirque de Aremd with your Morocco tour guide. It is a green basin at the foot of the village of the same name, built of red stones on an old ice bar that blocks the entire valley.

  • Descend along the Mizane stream and then continue beside the small irrigation canal to reach Targua Timoulay.

  • Meet in the village of Imlil and return to Marrakech at the end of the day.
