Description

Located in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, Imlil is definitely worth exploring. Join us as we take you to this amazing Berber village on a day hike.

Indeed a spectacular village, Imlil also acts as the starting point for many treks in the region. No wonder it is a popular destination of many explorers.

On the trip, you’ll spend an enriching day exploring the Moroccan countryside and also get a chance to enjoy local Berber cuisine.

We’ll begin by picking you up from Marrakech early morning and drive towards Imlil. Showing you the beautiful Berber villages, we’ll halt for some traditional mint tea or delicious Berber bread and soup on the way. You can also take some amazing photographs here.

Passing via Tahnaout and Moulay, we’ll reach Imlil and you’ll be amazed to see the authentic charm of the village. In case you happen to visit on a Tuesday or a Saturday, you can also stop by at the local markets of Tahnaout or Asni before reaching Imlil.

The route offers enchanting views of the Atlas Mountains and the beautiful countryside of Morroco. Once in Imlil, you can either opt for a half-day trek or a full-day tour.

A half-day trek offers a walk or a mule ride for about an hour or two around the amazing village and afterward, you’ll enjoy a traditional Berber lunch in a Berber house – or maybe relish it under a walnut tree.

In case you book a full day trek, we’ll start from Imlil and head towards the beautiful Imnan valley. You’ll wind around the circular valley and can enjoy your lunch on the banks of the river before heading back to Imlil. We’ll then take you back to Marrakech, ending this incredible trip.

The total duration of the walk will not be more than 6-7 hours.

You’ll have an exceptional experience in this wonderful village and wouldn’t want to miss it. So, send us a message now to reserve your seat. Also, check out our page for some more adventures in Morocco.

Excellent Toubkal Mountain Guide – Highly Recommended! I recently hiked Toubkal Mountain with a fantastic guide who made the experience both enjoyable and smooth. From the start, he set a perfect pace, ensuring it was challenging yet comfortable. He was highly attentive and adapted to my needs throughout the journey, always making sure I felt good and motivated. His briefings were clear and well-structured, giving me a great understanding of what to expect each day. Beyond his expertise, he showed genuine empathy, making me feel supported and well looked after. Whether it was answering questions, offering encouragement, or simply sharing local insights, he made the trip truly memorable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and supportive guide for Toubkal! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had an amazing trek to Toubkal with Sabir and Hammid. Sabir was a great guide and also very good at telling us about local culture. Hammid was a great chef, the food was always delicious and there was always enough for us 3 big hungry guys. We can definitely recommend doing this beautiful trek with Sabir and Hammid.
