Tours to the Atlas Mountains

Take in Berber culture at a traditional Berber village
Head into the Atlas Mountains on our Best of Morocco Tour for an authentic experience in traditional Berber villages set high up in the valleys. Far removed from the lively souks of Marrakech, these quiet ancient settlements offer a calmness that seem almost out of place amongst the country’s bustle. Join a local family at their home to savour a traditional Berber lunch and learn about their distinct indigenous culture.

Discover the breathtaking Todra Gorge
The mighty, amber-colored cliffs of Todra Gorge soar into skies on our Highlights of Morocco Tour. We follow the clear, trickling stream that carves a path through the valley floor, navigating narrow crevices to a magnificent viewpoint offering unforgettable views over the rocky peaks of the Jebel Sahro mountain range.

Trek to the peak of Mount Toubkal
Take on the challenge of North Africa’s highest point on our Mount Toubkal Trekking Adventure. After two days of climbing zigzag mule paths through rocky valleys, you’ll stand atop Toubkal’s 13,671 ft summit, rewarded with sweeping views over the Marrakech Plains and the Sahara Desert.

Explore the Atlas Mountains by bicycle
