Day 01
Atlas Mountains, Berber Villages and Agafay Desert
- Start your day with pickup and meet your friendly local guide, who lives in one of the surrounding Berber villages. During your journey to the Atlas Mountains region, your guide will tell you about the rich culture and heritage of the Berber people as you hike between villages.
- Arrive in Tahnaout and visit a women-managed argan oil co-operative. Discover how the argan nut is pressed to make the famed argan oil products of Morocco. Receive a warm welcome in Imlil with a glass of mint tea before travelling past stunning waterfalls and small Berber settlements. Pause in Tamatert to take in the views of ancient irrigated terraced fields surrounded by cherry and walnut trees.
- Feast on a traditional Moroccan meal in Ait Souka at the home of a Berber family. Relax with scenic valley views from a sun-bathed rooftop terrace. After some rest, board your vehicle and travel through the scenic Kik Plateau, with spectacular 360-degree views. Gaze at the magnificent High Atlas Mountains as you pass through the stone desert, barren light brown plateaus, oases, and rolling hills.
- Enjoy the serene surroundings of the Agafay Desert, where you can take an optional camel or horse ride. Or simply relax with some Moroccan mint tea for the perfect end to your day before heading back to Marrakech.
