Your private tour of the Atlas Mountains will begin with an early pickup at your accommodation in Marrakech. Your guide will accompany you in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan as you head south toward the mountains.
Along the way, you will have the opportunity to admire the stunning views of the area. You will make stops at a traditional village and an argan oil co-operative before entering the lush, orchard-filled valleys that are surrounded by rugged peaks. Here, you can enjoy a camel ride before continuing deep into the Imlil Valley.
You will have a break for Moroccan tea and cake on a scenic terrace, during which time you can chat with your guide about whether you want to hike, drive, or ride a mule to the next stop.
In Ait Souka Village, you will have the opportunity to visit a Berber family home to learn about their lifestyle and culture. From there, you will continue on to Moulay Brahim near the Asni Valley, where you can absorb the magnificent views of Mount Toukbal.
Pickup included
If you choose to explore Morocco's Atlas Mountains without a guide, you may miss out on experiencing the Berber culture and the beautiful views. However, group tours often have a strict schedule that doesn't allow for spontaneous activities during the day. This private tour offers the best of both worlds - a local guide to handle logistics and facilitate interactions with Berber villagers, as well as the freedom to customize your itinerary. Additionally, you have the option to enjoy a camel ride and visit a Berber home, both of which are included in the tour
