Atlas Mountains Tours – Private Atlas Mountains Day Trips
Atlas Mountains tours and private day trips from Marrakech. Drive the winding Tizi n'Tichka pass, meet Berber families in Imlil and Asni, walk terraced valleys, and continue through the Todra and Dades gorges toward the Sahara.
The High Atlas
The High Atlas rises just south of Marrakech, with snow-capped peaks, dramatic gorges and traditional Berber villages. A day trip from Marrakech reaches Imlil and the foothills; longer tours cross the Tizi n'Tichka pass to the south.
Berber villages & valleys
Visit Imlil and Asni, walk among terraced walnut groves and irrigated fields, share a traditional lunch with a Berber family, and learn about a way of life that has changed little in centuries.
Atlas to the Sahara
The Atlas Mountains are the gateway to the Sahara. Our desert tours from Marrakech cross the High Atlas, Aït Ben Haddou and the Dades and Todra gorges on the way to Merzouga.
