Atlas Mountains
We will drive deeper into Atlas valleys to reach our main destination in an altitude of 1800m. In Imlil valley, we will be happy to lead you for a scenic unique walk through the berber hamlets and walnut fields for about 2 hours (flexible) , swivelling through its villages and hidden trails, whilst appreciating the nature we will get to visit a small waterfall just before reaching the Berber villages of Armed and Ait souka for lunch
5 hoursAgafay
After lunch in our family house, we will head back to Asni Valley where we are changing the road passing through Kik plateau and by Takerkoust dam. After crossing a forest of eucalyptus, you will discover magnificent Berber villages before joining the closest desert to Marrakech. The landscape of the stoney Agafay desert is covered with rare wild flowers, wheat and barley, but during the summer it looks like a real desert with stony dunes and hills running down the majestic Atlas Mountains. A stop for pictures and tea and 30 minutes of camel ride is a must before heading back to Marrakech.
