This bespoke Day Trip offers an opportunity to immerse oneself in the lifestyle of the Berber people by traversing through Berber hamlets and enjoying a midday meal with a Berber household in their residence. Your journey will trace the ancient mule pathways passing quaint villages, providing a breathtaking visual feast of the majestic Atlas mountains, with glimpses all the way to Toubkal. The journey on foot typically takes between 5 to 6 hours.
Your day commences with a pick-up from your Marrakech hotel around 9:00 for your transfer to Imlil. Rest assured that we do not make unnecessary stops at commercial stalls or stores unless you express a desire to.
Upon reaching Imlil, you’re received with a warm mint tea and introduced to your tour guide. You’ll have a chance to discuss your preferences, available time, and physical fitness level. Given that your Day Trip is private, we have some flexibility to tailor the trip to cater to your needs.
We provide an additional mule at no extra cost in case there are kids in the group who may want to ride or rest. We are also open to arranging for an extra mule for groups comprised solely of adults upon request.

Amazing day out - Our guide Joseph was fantastic - he was super friendly and easy to talk to, very knowledgeable of the trek and area and very supportive during the walk.
The walk itself was great, really beautiful views with a nice mix of terrains and things to see!
The food at lunch was very good and I appreciate how well organised the day was by Ahmed.
The driver was also lovely and drove carefully.
Would highly recommend!

Wonderful day in the mountains - We were in good hands from door to door service, proper tea to with our guide, Ibrahim. He took care of everything we needed. Very professional and well worth the fee.

The most welcoming hosts! - This tour was without a doubt one of the highlights of my time in Morocco! So many thanks to our guide and his family who arranged every detail of our trip seamlessly and, above-all, greeted us like friends 💗 We could not have asked for a better way to discover the stunning landscape of the Atlas foothills and the warm, welcoming culture. Thank you!

Both families thought it was the highlight of our trip - What a wonderful few days we had with Ahmed and his guides. We were a large group – 2 families with 6 children (5yrs – 14 yrs) between us – yet they embraced us warmly and we felt so well looked after every second of the trip. The guides were friendly, great fun, really chatty and insightful and were brilliant at encouraging our children along and letting them hop on and off the mules if their legs got weary or they felt overwhelmed. Our children are an energetic lot but they really loved riding on the mules! The whole trip was impeccably organised with every detail really well thought through. To experience the landscapes and people we met along the way is something that will stay with us for a very long time – absolutely stunning, incredibly special – it felt a real privelage. And the food! Oh my goodness, we were fed so well too – in fact the meals we ate whilst on the trek were the best meals we had all holiday! Without hesitation I would whole-heartedly recommend Ahmed and his company. At the end of our two weeks in Morocco we asked our children what the highlight was – every single one (us included) agreed the trek into the High Atlas Mountains was the best! Thank you!

Had the best experience with Abdu🤎☀️ - Authentic experience to explore Atlas Mountain Area.
My mum and me booked this tour with Ahmed and Abdu and it was absolutely wonderful. We got picked up by their driver at our Riad in Marakesh (who walked all the way in front of the place. We then drove for about 2hours and took some picture breaks. We also stopped by an agra manufacture were women showed us how the production is done. In Imli we met Abdu (our great guide). He showed us his home village and told us a lot of interesting things. Schwiya b schwiya we got to the lunch stop and that was my highlight!! We got sooo much and tasty moroccan food (pasteries, tea, nuts, tanjine, salads, …) After the break we could decide weather we want to walk more and went for another walk. Abdu brought us back to the driver who brought us to trainstation. Everything is super flexible and everybody is soo nice. I am really thankful for that experience.

Wonderful way to get a glimpse of the Atlas Mountains and Berber life - We had a wonderful day with a light trek up to Imlil. It was a great way to get a taste for the Atlas Mountains and the more rural life of Berbers. We had some of the best mint tea, fruit, and a lovely lunch, the best food during our stay in and near Marrakesh. We would highly recommend to others and Ahmed and his family and team were very welcoming and tailored the walk as my wife had a foot injury.

The best journey across the Atlas - Me and my partner completed the four days / three nights trek including the summit of Toubkal. To put it plainly, this was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Initial communication with Ahmed was very easy and helpful and he answered all of my questions very promptly. Our guide, Abdel, was outstanding and we got plenty of choice in how we wanted to journey through the Atlas Mountains. He was a friend along the way and made us feel as welcome to his country as possible. He was also very informative, giving insight into authentic Berber culture. Everything was organised perfectly and the food, made by Hussain, was amazing – for each meal a different taste of Morocco. Thankyou!

Great trek experience - We had a wonderful experience with our guide, Mohamed, who is from the Atlas Mountains area. Mohamed was well seasoned in the hike and effortlessly guided us to the summit of Mount Toubkal, which was a once in a lifetime experience. He and our chef were both so warm and welcoming and had a good sense of humor along the way. We would definitely recommend this trek to anyone who enjoys the outdoors. Be warned, it is not an easy hike, but is well worth it.

1-day trek and lunch to the Atlas Mountains, for the young and old! - Ahmed was a superb host and organizer, before during and even after our 1-day visit and lunch to the Atlas Mountains. I was worried at first about how feasible this trip would be for our adventurous family of 5, as I am 6 months pregnant, traveling with a 3-year-old child, and with my elderly parents (with my 75-year-old father with knee issues). But, Ahmed took INCREDIBLE care of each and everyone of us, ensuring we went at a great pace, told lots of great stories and insights to keep everyone (from young to old!) entertained, and made sure my father and child had every accommodation needed to ensure a smooth and safe trip (including a memorable mule ride, the highlight of my child's trip!). All my worries were put aside when I saw how much Ahmed cared and made sure we had a wonderful, memorable trip with as much support and accessibility as possible. His love for the mountains and his village, along with his heartfelt stories and connection to each of us, was apparent. I was worried at the start, but I quickly saw, we were in extremely safe and capable hands. If you're worried at all about taking an adventure like this, then Ahmed and his team are perfect for you: talk with them, work with them, and you'll be able to have the adventure you hoped with all the safety and consideration you need. Ahmed, thank you for helping me and my family enjoy your culture, village, and mountains in the most genuine way. We didn't feel like tourists, but like family to all those we met. This adventure was the highlight of our trip. Work with Ahmed; you wont' be disappointed at all!
