Overview

This is the most flexible excursion in our portfolio, for a day across a variety of landscapes in the territory around Marrakech. You will discover the Ourika Valley (where it is possible to hire a trekking guide and explore the area on foot), then you will take the mountain road in the direction of the ski resort of Oukaïmeden, reaching Berber mountain villages by road or pist. You may have lunch with a stunning view over the Takerkoust lake and, on your way back back to Marrakech, you will cross the rocky Agafay desert with its colors and different terrains. If you wish, you can walk around the Berber villages we visit, and have tea with a Berber family or even go for a camel or quad ride!

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Ourika Valley, Ourika Morocco

We always recommend our guests to discuss about the itinerary with our driver when they meet. In this way, the day can be optimised and adapted to our guests' expectations and needs. For instance, depending on requests and weather, it is possible to spend more time in the Ourika valley and hire a trekking guide for a simple walk of about 2h (not included). Of course, if more time is spent in this area, the remaining part of the day will need to be adapted accordingly.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Exploring the Atlas mountains, Asni, Marrakech 42152 Morocco

The tour will pass through part of the High Atlas, and depending on the programme it will be possible to visit Berber villages.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Lac Lalla Takerkoust, Marrakech 40000 Morocco

We will pass along the lake of Lalla Takerkoust, and it will be possible to have lunch here (based on the programme discussed with the driver). There are different restaurants in the area, and our guests can choose the one they like the most (lunch not included).

Stop At: Agafay, Agafay, Marrakech-Safi

On the way back to Marrakech, we will pass through the rocky Agafay desert, with its colors and different terrains. On site, it is possible to partake in activities offered by local providers, such as quad or camel (dromedary) rides.

We hired Legendes Evasions for a day trip out of Marrakesh to visit the mountains and the desert. I would do this trip again 100/100 times - it was awesome! Our driver, Yousef, was super friendly and very knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions about the region and the itinerary he planned for the day was beautiful. I also don't exaggerate when I say that the tajine we had in a Berber house along the route was the best I've ever had in my life. For the price, I highly recommend hiring Legendes Evasions. You receive excellent customer service, the highest quality drivers, and wonderful memories of the dramatic landscape outside of Marrakesh. Even better, you get the whole car to yourself instead of a bus with 30 other tourists!

Phillipe is personable, informative and one of the best tour guides we have ever had! The stunning Atlas Mountains are not to be missed. We wish we had done this tour earlier in our stay so that we could have tried to do more with Legendes Evasions as this was our best day out during our entire five day stay in Marrakech. If we ever go back we will definitely be contacting Legendes Evasions again, meanwhile we strongly recommend them to anyone traveling to the area!
