Imlil & High Atlas Mountains Day Tour from Marrakech
About This Experience
Venture into the heart of the Toubkal National Park with this day trip to Imlil. Located at the foot of Jebel Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa (4,167 m), Imlil is a picturesque mountain village known as the "Chamonix of Morocco".
Leave the hustle and bustle of Marrakech behind and breathe the fresh mountain air. We will walk among walnut, apple, and cherry trees, visit traditional Berber villages built of adobe, and enjoy an authentic homemade lunch on the terrace of a local family with panoramic views of the valley. An unforgettable cultural and natural immersion experience.
