Discover and explore deep Berber country in the High Atlas Mountains, and enjoy the landscapes of desert Agafay, valleys, Berber villages, and open plains on a full-day trip from Marrakech. The drive takes you first to the Agafay Desert, just south of Marrakech, where you’ll experience some dune bashing before continuing on to the Lalla Takerkoust region, making your first stop on the hills overlooking the lake.

From here you’ll begin a 4x4 adventure on dirt tracks rarely frequented by tourists and climb up to the Kik Plateau, where you’ll drive from village to village meeting locals, visiting Berber homes, and sampling their traditional mint tea and homemade bread.

When you arrive at Atlas Mountains Village, located in the heart of Toubkal National Park, you’ll have the option of hiking for an hour to Armoud village or continue to the village by 4x4. The 1-hour hike with a local guide is moderate. In the village you’ll be served a Berber lamb tagine for lunch at a local home. You’ll also enjoy Moroccan salads and homemade bread during the meal. After lunch and a short relaxation break, you’ll head down a gentle hill to Imlil village, where you’ll meet your driver to get back to marrakech around 5pm,
