3-Day High Atlas Mountains Trek – Ultimate Hiking Adventure

The journey begins at 9:00 AM from Marrakech with your expert local guide, travelling to Imi Oughlad (1,400m). Once you’ve arrived you’ll meet your mule handlers before heading out for your first trek through Ouirgane National Park’s picturesque landscapes. You take the trail through the lush greenery, the ancient juniper forest and the charming Berber villages. You trek for 4 hours and when you arrive to the peaceful village of Tinzert, you’ll stay one night in a traditional Berber guesthouse.

Do not skip breakfast accompanied by a 4 hours 4 x 4 dune drive to discover the Merzouga area. Spend time with some nomadic people and learn about their life practices during the tea time. It is suggested to take a break in the village of Khamliya to try to listen to the roots of Gnawa music as a specially significant part of the culture.
Make the rest of the day yours, either, laze around the beach, do sand boarding or do quad biking in the sand dunes. In the evening, you can again ride a camel to watch sunset before going back to the desert camp. You may have dinner, music, as well as look at the stars, embrace the calmness of the desert.

The finish is a scenic climb to Tizi-n-Mzik pass (2,489m) that is just spectacularly scenic, with breathtaking views over the surrounding valleys. Here you will go down into the famous Imlil Valley, the well known entrance to Mount Toubkal. Arriving back in the evening in Marrakech, you will have a well deserved lunch in Imlil prior to transfer back.
