Description
Itinerary
At 9 AM we will pick you up from your hotel or riad in Marrakech City, to start your experience to Imlil Atlas Mountains. On our way, we will pass through the town of Tahnaout at Berber Village where we can stop at an Argan Oil Co-operative and just to learn how the woman of the co-operative turns the Argan nut into many of the different Argan Oil-based products Morocco is famous for. We will then continue on through Asni where, on Saturdays, a traditional Berber Souk and market can be visited.
Our journey will take us past waterfalls and the hamlets of Ait Mizan, we will stop off in Imlil and have the opportunity to take in the views of ancient irrigated terrace fields of barley, corn, and vegetables, surrounded by cherry and walnut trees. I will point out things of interest and I will talk to you about the Berber culture and heritage along the way. Go down through the village of Ait Souka and afterward enjoy a traditional Moroccan meal in a Berber family house.
Here you will have the opportunity to ride a camel on our way back via Moulay Gorges! And go back to your accommodation in Marrakech around 17:00 pm.
