Get your spot booked early so you can lock in your pickup. Since you’ve got free cancellation up to 24 hours before you go, there’s flexibility built in. You’re getting a genuine experience in the Atlas Mountains and time with real Berber culture.
So your day kicks off with Pickup included from wherever you're staying in Marrakech—any eligible address works. You'll meet your guide and driver, and then you're heading south toward Agafay.
First stop is the Agafay Desert, where you get to experience a {{4x4 adventure across Agafay Desert}}. This place is pretty wild—rocky dunes and these massive open plains stretching out. You're getting the real experience here: scenic driving and genuine desert terrain without any fluff added on.

Villages pop up along the way, and you're going to meet local Berber families and share traditional mint tea with them—honestly, this is one of the best cultural moments of the whole day.
You're arriving in Imlil now, which sits inside Toubkal National Park, and this is where the mountain part of your atlas mountains tour really begins. Here's where you get to choose:
Stay with the 4x4 and keep going toward the same area
