In the morning, we will pick you up from your accommodation in Marrakech and head towards Tahanaoute, a village located at the base of the High Atlas Mountains, 35 km from Marrakech. Shortly after departing, you’ll begin to see Berber villages scattered throughout the Atlas Mountains. Our first stop will be in Asni, where you’ll visit a Berber family to learn about their customs, culture, and way of life. Following this visit, we’ll continue our journey to explore more Berber villages, including one that was established 200 years ago. We’ll pause to take photos at Toubkal peak, the second-highest peak in Africa, standing at 4165 meters. The peaks of Toubkal are visible from both Marrakech and Imlil.

After our photo stop, we’ll proceed to witness more vibrant landscapes, including forests, valleys, orchards, and various trees such as quince, olive, prune, walnut, and almond, along with some wildlife.

Our journey will then take us to the Ourika Valley via a trail through the High Atlas Mountains. We’ll stop in the Ourika Valley and mountains, which rise to 1800 meters, to take more photos.

Amazing holiday in Marrakech - I travelled to Marrakech with 4 friends between May 2nd and May 6th, 2022 and we had the most amazing experience thanks to Mustapha. Mustapha went above and beyond his call of duties to ensure we had a positive and unforgettable holiday. Each day he picked us up from our accommodation on time and took us to various places including the Medina, Jemaa El Fna Square, the Three Valleys in the Atlas Mountains and even to Agadir so we could enjoy a day at the beach. Bear in mind, Agadir is at least a 3 hour drive from Marrakech but with good music and his company he made it very enjoyable! Saeed (I hope I am spelling his name correctly) was a great guide on the hike in the Atlas Mountains. We had someone in the group with a severe phobia of heights and Saeed was very patient and kind with them. Saeed has a wonderful persona, always smiling, friendly and was great company to be around as he led the hike and told us all about the village and the history. The views when you get to the top are so worth the climb and the waterfalls were breathtaking. Mustapha would also happily answer all our questions throughout our trip, helped us to get a fair price for souvenirs, made great recommendations and really educated us about Moroccan and Berber culture. On our last day we even enjoyed a delicious and authentic Moroccan meal and it was a beautiful memory I will hold for a long time thanks to him. Huge thanks to Mustapha and Saeed for everything - hope to see you again next time!

A dream like experience - Amazing wonderful experience in Marrakesh and Agadir facilitated by the agency that provided exceptional guides and transportation services. Our first guide (Ali) took us to Medina where we explored bahia palace, the market in old town they possess vast amount of knowledge about the history of Morocco. Our second day we embarked on a journey to the Atlas mountain where we met with our guide (Saeed). He was very knowledgeable just like our first guide and was very understanding and assisted a member of our group who suffers from fear of heights and helped them climb the mountain. He was very accommodating! I would like to give a special mention to our driver Mustapha who arrived on time to pick us up every single day at the Riad. He took us to all our destinations safely and even went above and beyond to ensure that we were safe at all times! Thanks to him our plans worked out perfectly throughout our stay in Marrakech. He also acted as our personal guide by translating for us ensuring we were paying a fair price for goods! I would recommend anyone reading my review to seriously consider using this agency. Everything is on point and well organised! Thank you! Lloyd
