We’ll end the day in a magnificent luxury camp overlooking the High Atlas and have dinner to the sounds of traditional music played by a live band.
Start your morning with a relaxing time at the beautiful camp, where you can enjoy top-notch facilities such as the swimming pool and gym. If you’re feeling adventurous, take a long walk through the valley to explore the surrounding landscapes.
At 11 a.m., embark on a scenic drive through the breathtaking Atlas Mountains, heading toward the charming town of Imlil, the gateway to multi-day treks to Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in the High Atlas.
