Marrakech and its surroundings are full of places to discover and landscapes to marvel at. Between mountainous and desert landscapes, this region is truly a destination that always fascinates its visitors.
Visiting Marrakech and its hinterlands will provide you with enriching and memorable experiences as well as spectacular sceneries. You will discover the oldest part of Marrakech city, its Medina. Discover the sumptuous panoramas of the Atlas Mountains, the captivating greenery of the Ourika Valley and the desert expanses of Agafay.
The magnificent Atlas Mountains have the advantage of being very close to Marrakech and yet far from the tourist frenzy of the city. A place of multiple excursions, it is possible to go through the Moroccan Atlas during a guided tour through rocky landscapes and abundant vegetation.
The village of Imlil, located at the foot of Mount Toubkal, the highest mountain in Morocco and North Africa, also offers unique and unprecedented landscapes, here the change of scenery is guaranteed!
The Agafay desert is a place which will strike you by its immensity and the silence which reigns there. Discover this Moroccan desert by quad or buggy and have a tea break with locals in a typical Berber house.
