Imlil Village and Kik Plateau Day Trip
Day Trip Details
At the scheduled time, we'll swing by to pick you up at your hotel in Marrakech. Then, we'll hop on an off-roading vehicle or minibus to kick off this tour through the imposing Imlil Valley.
We'll begin by traveling through the Haouz plain towards the Agafay desert, located just an hour’s drive from the city. Our first stop will be at the man-made Lalla Takerkoust Lake, whose water runs down from the majestic Grand Atlas Mountains. There, we'll enjoy a 30-minute camel ride. If you don't want to do the camel ride, you can stay in the Berber tent enjoying a cup of mint tea.
Continue your excursion to the settlement of Aguergour, where you'll enjoy Moroccan mint tea with a local family who will explain their traditions and way of life. Learn the customs of this nomadic village as you explore the breathtaking Kik Plateau.
Before reaching the village of Imlil, we'll visit the small town of Asni and, if the tour takes place on Saturday, we'll explore the local Amazigh market, where the people of the Atlas Mountains come weekly to shop.
Our next stop is a guided tour of Imlil. A local guide will show us its typical buildings, adapted to the terrain of the High Atlas Mountains. After an hour in this town, we'll return to the off-roading vehicle and drive through various Berber areas characterised by their beautiful mountain scenery, such as Aroumed, where we'll stop to enjoy the terraces lined with cherry and walnut trees. From here, we'll also be able to admire the highest peak in North Africa, Jebel Toubkal.
By now, you'll have worked up an appetite! Before ending the tour, you'll be able to enjoy a traditional Moroccan meal in Tagadirt in the home of an Amazigh family if you wish (not included in the price of the tour). After lunch, we'll take a short walk around the village and finally head back to Marrakech.
After 9 hours of sightseeing, the tour will come to an end back at the starting point.
