If you want to get out of the city and explore the authentic and rural side of Morocco, the Atlas Mountains and Imlil day trip is one of the most spectacular day trips from Marrakech. We will depart from Marrakech at 09:00 a.m. in a 4WD vehicle or minivan for a 1h30 drive south up the Moulay Brahim Gorges, and the berber village of Asni, which is famous for its weekly market every Saturday, before arriving in Imlil, which is located in a vibrant green valley that remains fresh and lush even during the hottest days of summer. Imlil is a small village in the foothills of Morocco's highest mountain, Toubkal.
Imlil is the center for hiring mountain guides and mules due to its unique location and proximity to several berber villages, and it is also a popular starting point for treks and hikes to Toubkal Mountain.
