Next, we cross to the second valley, showcasing a different landscape where lunch will be served, featuring the traditional dish (Tajin), in a Berber house.

Finally, we descend the mountains towards Marrakech, passing through Asni Valley and enjoying the mesmerizing mountain views, returning to the red city around 4 pm.

An Overland Adventure - This was an excellent tour in many ways. We got away from the city congestion and experienced the beauty of the surrounding countryside. Our driver and guide, Yahya, was so informative with a very cheerful disposition. We visited a vibrant morning souk, had a delicious tajine lunch at a beautiful berber home, drove high into the mountains along ridgetop passes, and finally topped it off with camel riding through the desert. Couldn't ask for a more remarkable experience. It was the highlight of our visit to Marrakech.

Lovely experience Day trip - The experience was wonderful ! A very personal service was provided by Yahia our Driver who picked us up from the nearest accessible place to our Riad and then took us on a journey that involved stops for a camel ride, the argon oil place and then IMLIL where our Guide took over and helped and encouraged us to get to the cascade and then higher until we were sat drinking mint tea at 2,000m. The views were stupendous and the attention just right for giving us a memorable day . I highly recommend it.
