Your day begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel or riad in Marrakech.

If you prefer to take it easy, you can enjoy a refreshing drink at a riverside café while soaking in the tranquil atmosphere.

During your time in Imlil, you’ll also have the opportunity to visit an argan oil cooperative. Watch as skilled Berber women demonstrate the traditional methods of extracting argan oil, a practice passed down through generations. You’ll learn about the cultural significance of this prized oil and even have the chance to purchase some for yourself.

3. Journey Through the Picturesque Asni Valley
