Itinerary

1. Morning Departure from Marrakech

Your driver will pick you up from your hotel or riad at 9:00 AM. As you leave the city behind, you’ll journey through the stunning Moroccan countryside, passing through the Agafay Desert, a dramatic, rocky landscape often compared to the moon’s surface. Stop for photos and take in the peaceful atmosphere of this untouched terrain.

Your next stop is Lalla Takerkouste Lake, a tranquil retreat nestled at the foot of the High Atlas Mountains. Enjoy the contrast between the lake’s blue waters and the rugged surroundings, making it a perfect spot for photography. If you’d like, you can also experience a camel ride here, offering a traditional touch to your adventure.

Continuing your journey, you’ll drive through lush valleys and traditional Berber villages, where life has remained unchanged for centuries. If your trip falls on a Saturday, you’ll have the chance to visit the Asni Berber Market, a lively gathering where locals sell fresh produce, handcrafted goods, and spices.

By midday, you’ll reach Imlil, a charming mountain village at the base of Mount Toubkal. Here, you’ll meet your local Berber guide and muleteer, who will accompany you on a scenic hike or mule ride through the Aremd Valley. The village of Aremd is famous for its traditional stone houses, terraced fields, and stunning mountain views.

  • Fun fact: Part of the movie Seven Years in Tibet was filmed in this village!

After exploring the valley, you’ll stop at a local Berber home for a freshly prepared traditional lunch. Enjoy dishes made from locally sourced ingredients, all while taking in the panoramic views of Mount Toubkal.

After lunch, enjoy some free time to soak in the peaceful mountain atmosphere before beginning your drive back to Marrakech. You’ll arrive back at your accommodation in the early evening, carrying memories of breathtaking landscapes and Berber hospitality.
