Leave the city behind and discover some of Morocco's wildest and most breathtaking scenery on this full-day, multi-faceted tour. After pickup from your hotel or the meeting point at 8:30 am, you will be driven 90 minutes from Marrakech to the heart of the Atlas. At our first stop we will take pictures against the backdrop of the scenic Tahanout village and visit a women’s argan coperative where you will enjoy some Moroccan tea and taste fresh argan oil before the ladies explain their work. Then we will continue our drive to the Atlas Mountains where our walking adventure will begin. We will pass through the quaint Berber villages dotted throughout the Imlil Valley--stopping as frequently as you like to rest and take photos-- then enjoy a lunch prepared lovingly in the traditional Moroccan way by a local family. Afterwards we will drive to the heart of the rocky Agafay Desert for a camel ride. We will drop you back off at your hotel at 6:30 pm

Saturday and Tuesday tours also include a visit to a local Berber farmer's market. Note 1: the total duration of walk is 2.5 hours but transportation will be provided for people who do not want to walk Note 2: we will discover Tahanout, Asni, Lalla takarcoust and Imlil valleys before we go to the heart of Agafay Desert Note 3: Agafay Desert is a Rocky desert with wonderfull views

we Will walk around Asni traditional market where residents from the local community as well as those living miles away come into town on market day for shopping, socializing and gossiping. The vendors travel by donkey , small cars and trucks as they make the weekly circuit in the mountains. Like typical farmers’ markets, there is a huge variety of goods for sale – herbs, spices, fresh fruit and vegetables, shoes, men and women’s clothing, chickens (live and dead), household items, etc. – plus some local specialties such as goat heads and sheep heads (for making soup) and items needed by the farmers such as used/recycled iron tools. The most interesting part of the market was the “parking lot” (see photos, below). We were the only Western tourists walking through the fairly large, open-air market in the late afternoon and found the locals and vendors to be quite friendly, with some speaking some English (our guide did a great job of helping us navigate through the market).

we will enjoy time in Imlil waterfalls
