Venturing into the Berber communities of the High Atlas will unveil a novel realm to you.
A substantial difference exists between Europe and Marrakesh, paralleled only by the contrast between Marrakesh’s urban expanse and the quaint Berber settlements nestled in the lofty heights of the Atlas Mountains.
The stunning natural scenery and the Berber population’s warm-heartedness will leave a lasting impression on you. High above, where life unfolds with unassuming simplicity, their genial spirit renders any additional comforts superfluous. A local Berber guide will lead you along the most scenic trail to a hidden waterfall. Repast is a home-cooked meal within a Berber residence. As the day trip winds down on your return to Marrakesh, enjoy the camaraderie of a 30-minute camel traverse. At the pinnacle of your trek, you’ll be spellbound by the sweeping vistas of the Berber valleys. Ample opportunity will be provided for photographing these moments, and your guide will eagerly address any curiosities you may observe.

Amazone excursion - yesterday we had a great excursion with Radouane to the Atlas Mountains. It was a very varied day with a visit to the weekly market, a nice walk and lunch with a Berber family! Along the way beautiful stops with fantastic views and a camel ride for those who want. Radouane was a very caring guide and he shared many personal things about growing up in the mountains. Highly recommended!

Just Amazing, the guide (Radoune) was so dedicated to his Job - The guide (Radouane) text us a day before the trip, and asked us if we need something special for the day. We already appreciate his message. The day of the trip they pick us up on the right time and place. The taxi driver (Saïd) was a very friendly man. We really loved this trip and the personal guide (Radouane) he was so nice and dediqated to his Job. He was open en he has a lot experience about the atlas mountain and the rest of the trip. If you wanne do a road trip we definitely recommend Radouane. Its was a day we will never forget.

Couldn’t wish for more! A great day with very lovely people, food and activities. - We had such a wonderful day with our tourguide Radouane and driver Saïd. We made a beautiful walk true Atlas mountain, we had a great lunch at the family house in the village, when we asked for a picture stop or when we wanted to buy something…they made everything possible. Even when we were driving to the desert and we were talking together because we saw some quads driving they asked us if we preferred to drive quad instead of camel, which we did and they arranged it last minute for us.
Also a great combination between relaxing time (together) and activities. We couldn’t wish for more!
When we asked them to drop us off at another point as where we were picked up in the morning (because we changed Riad) it wasn’t a problem at all and even they called for us the Riad (without we even asked them) so we would get guided from the car to the Riad.
We would highly recommend Maroc Travel and we would definitely book next time again with them.
Many thanks to Radouane and Saïd in special!

Exceptional experience in the Atlas - We had a wonderful day with radouane in the mountains and a great lunch at his family home, prepared by his mum. He really tried to accommodate as good as possible. I would really advise him to other families!

Day tour Atlas mountains - Radouan (our guide) was such a good guide.
He showed us the beautiful place where he grew up. Not only we had diner at the house where he lives, he has such a good feeling when he needs to tell something more or we needed a little bit more time. Our trip to the Atlas mountains was great, but he made it one of the best days we've ever had.
He is a natural talent, and we want to thank him one more time!
