This day-long excursion from Marrakech provides you with the opportunity to encounter Berber village life firsthand as you make your way to the home of a Berber family in the High Atlas mountains, and an opportunity to ride a camel which is included. This is a highlight of any trip to Marrakech!

Fabulous! Omar Imzilen gave us a very memorable day filled with interesting information, about Morocco & the Berber way of life, & adventure. We were very thankful for he & his families hospitality, it was this special touch that made this excursion stand out from the rest.

We had an excellent day with Omar who was a very good guide. He took the time to answer all our questions and immersed us in a part of Berber life.
We also ate very well with Omar's family in a really nice setting.
We highly recommend this activity which is very good value for money.

Mustapha was an amazing guide! He was very knowledgeable about the places we went and took us to very authentic places to eat, one of which was his mother’s restaurant in the mountains. The hike was beautiful and we stopped at many amazing places to take photos and watch the views. The trip to the agafay desert was very cool, dressed up in traditional dress and had tea then went on a camel ride. Camels seemed well looked after too which was good to see. Very good value for the day, 100% recommend!!

A beautiful day, Everything was perfect.
Short camel ride in the Agafay desert then direction Imlil for a meal prepared by our Guide's aunt. The tagine was exceptional!! The little walk leading to the very nice waterfall.
Our guide Abdoul Aziz was great. He allowed us to discover his village by giving us a lot of explanations about local life and Berber customs.

Truly excellent value for money.
I find it hard to imagine how they were able to offer such a 10 hour excursion with excellent and informative guides in a modern and comfortable vehicle including a dinner with a locale family in (our guides home).
Our intelligent and attentive guide (Mustafa) explained in great detail not only the things we were viewing but also so much about the life & culture of both the city and remote rural areas.
Be aware that the hike down to the waterfall is quite a hike involving some steep & unguarded steps & slopes especially if has rained as happened to us.
The visit to a local produce market was amazing and we were not hassled in any way by the local traders.
The trip included a womans co-oprative to taste local Argon & Olive oils where it was possible to buy local products, again with no one hassling us in any way to buy.
The dressing up and camel ride was good fun.
The dinner with the family of our guide was an excellent Tagine and couscous with salad was delicious, we certainly didn't need to eat again that day!
From pick up at 08.30 to the drop off at around 18.45 we were looked after all the way.
I have no hesitation in recommending this tour & company.
Be aware that as you travel into the area you will clearly see the devastation & consequences of the 2023 earthquake with numerous tented settlelments.
This disaster has had a far more disastrous effect and ongoing consequences to the simple mountain village communities than was experienced the city.

Wonderful organization, although we thought it would also be guided in Spanish, it was very easy for us to follow it and the guide was always making sure that was the case. Totally recommended.

We booked extremely late the night before, but Omar, guide and Abdul, driver arrived promptly for 9am pick up .
Omar was very welcoming, presenting an itinerary to the group which sounded great. The group was approx 14 people which I felt was an ideal size.
We went to several places, including a woman cooperative and the waterfalls. (Ensure you wear comfortable shoes throughout the day, preferably shoes with a good grip.)
However, the highlight for me was the camel ride which was great fun and the fantastic family meal with Omar's family in their lovely Moroccan home. The food was so authentic and delicious served on the roof terrace overlooking the mountains...it was magical.
Omar and Abdul were a great team..
Omar providing a good overview of the history of the Berber people and the Atlas Mountain...i Iearnt a lot. He was attentive, checking at different stages if we were all OK. He also waited for the group to come together before discussing important information which he relayed in French and England. I appreciated this.
On the way home we were enterainef with a great mix of music. It ended my day with a smile.
Lastly, i would like to say thank you to Abdul. His driving skills were required to navigate the bendy roads. Well done!
I am hoping to revisit Morocco in the near future and will definitely be in touch with Omar and Abdul . In the meantime I will be recommending them to others. The price for the trip was superb. Such great value.
Thank you again. Fabulous Morocco and the people.
