• Agafay - This is a splendid trip during which you will discover the most diverse and spectacular landscapes. Your Day Trip takes you past lush vegetation, olive and orange orchards, and the occasional village. Off the tarmac and onto off-road, the scenery is completely different - barren light brown plateaux, a true stone desert. The locals call it Agafay desert: this might as well be the Sahara as the feeling of solitude. For all those who haven’t got sufficient time in Morocco for a Sahara desert tour, all the way south then the Agafay desert is the best thing to do instead, the Agafay desert is not a Sand desert
• Plateau du Kik - Our itinerary takes us up into the Atlas Mountains. Kik Plateau is 1800 meters high and offers spectacular 360 degrees views and, in the spring, a marvellous spread of alpine flowers. Scattered Berber hamlets greet the view and it feels like you travelled back in time.
• Asni - On the other side of the plateau, there is the Asni Valley in the heart of this lush area covered with apple, cherry, and plum orchards sending out their harvest into the city. A nice Berber market is held on every Saturday where producers bring fruit, vegetables, and livestock to sell. If you are interested in seeing a Berber souk, almost every village has one on a specific day of the week.
• Cascade Imlil - We will continue to climb upwards until you leave the main road at an altitude of over 2000 meters with views to Mount Toubkal: the highest peak in Northern Africa culminating at 4167 meters, and often snowcapped. Then we will follow an ancient, partly paved Berber track to reach the Imlil valley an authentic area famous for apple trees, here you will have lunch in a Berber house in a village overlooking the Atlas Mountains.
• Tahnaout - The food will be homemade and organic: tomato salad, chicken tagine, couscous, and fruits. After lunch we will head off back to Marrakech, crossing the Mizan valley small villages with their mud-brick adobe houses, stacked into the hillside or lining the watercourse shaded by the apple grove. The river gives place to the canyons and the local Berber granary towers over the landscape. Past Tahnaoute, the tarmac road follows its course among olive or orange orchards to reach Marrakech by afternoon.

For those who don’t have enough time in Morocco for a Sahara desert tour, the Agafay desert is a fantastic alternative. Unlike a sand desert, Agafay features a sandstone and earthen plateau, with traditional mud-built villages and dusty riverbeds interspersed with lush pastures and vegetation in the spring. Visitors can enjoy tea with the locals or embark on a camel trek. The itinerary also includes a journey into the Atlas Mountains. The Kik Plateau, standing at 1800 meters, offers breathtaking 360-degree views and, in the spring, a stunning display of alpine flowers.
