Imlil Day Trip From Marrakech

Imlil Day Trip From Marrakech

Departure by car from Marrakech around 9 AM in the morning for 2 hours drive south up to Moulay Brahim Gorges, Asni weekly market every saturday then to Imlil (1740m), set in the upper level foothills of the Western High Atlas mountains, a main trailhead with streams and paths branching out in all directions. Here we shall leave our vehicle to take a welcome glass of mint tea and meet your local guide prior to setting out for a 4km excursion.

Towards to the Berber village of Aroumd (Aremd) (1843m), where we will enjoy a good view over all the valley and the highest peak in the North Africa (Toubkal, 4167m) passing by small waterfalls. We shall stop at Aroumd to visit this rather singular village in the Assif Aït Mizane Valley, built seemingly house upon house on a large moraine spur, overlooking ancient irrigated terraced fields of barley, corn and vegetables and always surrounded by cherry, walnut and apple trees. We then carry on our walk to get to our guest house for lunch prior to setting off back down the other side of the valley back to Imlil and our return trip to Marrakech.
