Marrakech and Beyond | From the Souks to the Atlas Mountains

Marrakech

Marrakech seems to define Morocco, giving the impression that once you’ve seen the city, you’ve seen the country. Marrakech, one of Morocco’s most popular cities, has become an unmissable destination in recent years for those wishing to experience the beauty of Moroccan history and culture. Sip a mint tea in the square watching bustling life go by, check out the artisans at work in the souks, try out or learn to cook your favorite Moroccan dishes. Discover Marrakech on foot, by camel, horse carriage or from high up in the air by ballooning, and step back in time in the city’s history-packed museums. The Medina (old city) is famed for its abundant markets, with a maze of alleys and souks revealing new treasures at every turn, including aromatic spices, colorful textiles, sparkling lamps and jewelry giving travelers a glimpse into the Moroccan way of life.

Imlil

Imlil is a small village located in the High Atlas Mountains. It is very close to the highest mountain in North Africa, Jebel Toubkal, about 4160 meters high. Imlil is the beating heart of the Atlas mountains and the starting point for hikers who are willing to walk or ride mules for miles, but also for anyone wishing to enjoy the landscapes and unwind. Imlil is dotted with small Berber villages. In Imlil you can explore these authentic places, enjoy tea and lunch at a berber house, breathe fresh mountain air, and relax while you immerse yourself in silence. Due to its unique position, the village is also well known for walnuts, apples, and cherries that support the local economy of the community living there. Imlil is an ideal and a magical destination. Somehow, that will certainly make you fall in love and want to come back.

Agafay Desert

The Agafay Desert is located very close to Marrakech, this rocky desert is best described as a landscape of many contrasts. Its white dunes and landscape are similar to the Sahara dunes. If you have limited time in Morocco and cannot make it to the Saharan sand dunes in southern Morocco, you can still take a short, alternative day trip to the "Marrakech Desert". This place, which is certainly an impression of the emptiness and silence, offers you a relaxing day in the rocky desert with wonderful views of the snow-capped High Atlas Mountains. For those who crave adventures, this place is a perfect launching of numerous activities like biking, hiking, horseback and camel trekking throughout this exceptional landscape. In Agafay, take your time and explore slowly.
