Venturing into Morocco’s Atlas Mountains solo could lead to missed opportunities to experience Berber culture and picturesque vistas. In contrast, numerous group excursions stick to strict schedules that offer little room for impromptu activities throughout the day. This tour caters to those needs, providing a native guide.

- Imlil - After this we will continue our journey to the heart of the High Atlas to an area with a national park where our walking adventure will begin. We will pass through the beautiful Naqab waterfall and the quaint Berber villages dotted throughout the Imlil Valley, stopping as frequently as you like to rest and take photos, then enjoy a leisurely lunch break at a charming Berber home where you can take in the stunning views of North Africa’s highest peak from the rooftop terrace as you dine on a delicious meal prepared lovingly in the traditional Moroccan way. After lunch we will continue our walk along an easy trail with fantastic views of the entire Imlil Valley.
- Agafay - then we’ll drive the scenic mountain route towards the desert, passing through the picturesque Kik Plateau and Takerkoust Dam on our way to the Agafay Desert where you can enjoy a peaceful camel ride in a secluded area, followed by a little relaxation and hot tea (aka “Moroccan whiskey”) in a Berber tent. You will get back to Marrakech at around 6PM.

Atlas walk - As part of a tour organised by our hotel in Marrakesh we were introduced to Tiab. He took us on a moderately undulating trail, visiting a waterfall and some fantastic scenery followed by a traditional lunch. He was very attentive and was happy to discuss the local traditions. Thanks again.

great experience - It was great experience.
He took us directly from our Riad and we had a wonderful day in Atlas mountain and the waterfall. Great escape from busy and overcrowded Marrakech. We ate the best tajin cooked by his mom! Trust me you cannot find this in the restaurants!

Amazing tour with Hicham - Beautiful tour of the Atlas mountains and amazing information of the Berber tribe with fantastic homemade food. Hicham was an outstanding guide and was so nice with so much information of Morocco, the mountains, and the Berber villages. Highly recommend, one of the best things to do in Morocco.

Singh - "We were hiking in Imlil and Sabier was our guide. He was thoughtful, knowledgeable, kind and generous. We really liked working with him and will definitely recommend him. We are looking forward to our next trip to High Atlas region and are planning to do a multi day hike in the valley with Sabier"

5 stars - Lahcen the guide in the berber villages and walk, and mohamad the driver , were both fantastic ! Informative, helpful and chatted to us about all we saw. It was lovely to see in Lahcens berber home and the berber villages. You feel safe and looked after. Thank you! We learnt about history and the countryside and their English is very good. They work hard in a difficult situation after covid for an area that relies on tourists. Everyone is friendly.
They told us we were not obliged to buy anything when we stopped (at the women's cooperative to get some breakfast before we hike up to the waterfalls) we finished by a delicious lunch at Lahcens family house over looking at the magnifique view over the Atlas mountains.
You need good trainers for the walk but it is not that long . The Waterfall is beautiful even is smaller as it's automne time, pretty. It is a general trip to see life in the mountains and gives you a good feel for it and we had a great day . Lahcen told us how different the areas look after winter rain too. Edge of the Agafy desert type area , for Camel trip was fun Ang amazing, they dress you up too if you wish, has to be done here! Lovely day, worthwhile, recommended
