Day 01

Atlas Mountains Journey to Imlil and Aroumd

Start your Imlil day trip at 09:00 from Marrakech by 4WD vehicle or minivan for a 2-hour drive.
Drive south through the Moulay Brahim Gorges and the Berber village of Asni, which is popular for its weekly market every Saturday.
Continue to Imlil, a small village at the foothills of Morocco's highest mountains, including Mount Toubkal. Imlil is the main place to hire mountain guides and mules due to its unique position and its connection to several Berber villages. It is also a very popular starting point for treks and hikes to climb Mount Toubkal.
Upon arrival in Imlil, leave the vehicle and take mules for around 40 minutes toward Aroumd (1843 m), set in the upper foothills of the Western High Atlas Mountains. The main trailhead is filled with streams and paths branching out in all directions.
Enjoy lunch served in a Berber house in the village of Aroumd.
Take a short walk before returning to Marrakech.
