Marrakech Imlil and Asni Day Trip
Also highly recommended is a trip to the high Atlas village of Imlil, gateway to the magnificent Jbel Toubkal crowning wonder of the Atlas range and the tallest mountain in North Africa. Please note that even in winter the snow line is normally above Imlil. The scenery is truly stunning and remarkably accessible from Marrakech at around an hour and a quarter’s drive. The excursion normally leaves at 09.00 and you can expect to be back in Marrakech at 17.00
⇒Embrace the culture, Architecture, and extraordinary landscapes that Morocco has to offer.
