Our Atlas Mountains & Valleys day trip takes you through scenic mountain passes with panoramic views of traditional Berber villages. You'll visit multiple valleys including Asni and Tahanaout, where you'll see local artisans at work. The tour includes a stop at a Berber home for mint tea and a traditional lunch. You'll have opportunities to walk through small villages, interact with locals, and witness daily life in the mountains. The excursion typically includes a visit to a weekly souk (market day permitting) and several photo stops at the most scenic viewpoints along the way.

The Ourika Valley Day Trip offers options for different fitness levels. The main excursion includes a moderate walk to the first set of waterfalls, which takes about 30-40 minutes on a well-maintained path with some uneven terrain and stone steps. For more adventurous travelers, there's an option to continue hiking to higher waterfalls, which requires more effort and takes an additional 1-2 hours. We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes with good grip, bringing sun protection, and carrying a small bottle of water. The path can be slippery in spring due to melting snow, so extra caution is advised during that season.

Ouzoud Waterfalls are Morocco's highest waterfalls, cascading 110 meters through three tiers into a pool below. What makes this excursion special is the combination of natural beauty and wildlife encounters. You'll see Barbary macaque monkeys that inhabit the area and often approach visitors. The tour includes multiple viewpoints at different levels, a boat ride (optional) that takes you close to the base of the falls, and a traditional lunch at a restaurant overlooking the waterfalls. The drive itself offers scenic views of olive groves and local villages, making it a comprehensive day trip from Marrakech.

The Imlil & High Atlas Experience takes you to the heart of Morocco's highest mountain range, where Mount Toubkal is located. The tour begins with a scenic drive to Imlil, known as the gateway to Toubkal National Park. You'll visit a traditional Berber house to learn about mountain life and enjoy mint tea with locals. The experience includes a guided walk through the village and surrounding valleys, with explanations of the irrigation systems and terraced agriculture. Most tours include a traditional tagine lunch at a mountain guesthouse with panoramic views. For those interested, there's often an option to meet with local mountain guides who share stories about climbing the region's peaks.

For mountain day trips from Marrakech, we recommend bringing comfortable walking shoes with good grip, layers of clothing (mountain temperatures can be 10-15°C cooler than Marrakech), sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), and a small daypack. In spring and autumn, a light jacket is advisable, while winter visits require warmer clothing. Don't forget your camera for the spectacular views, some cash for purchasing local crafts or extra refreshments, and a water bottle. If you're planning to swim at Ouzoud Waterfalls, pack swimwear and a towel. While lunch is typically included, you might want to bring some snacks if you have dietary restrictions or specific preferences.
