Magical Atlas Mountains Berber Culture Day Trip
“Atlas day trip”
My family and I had an amazing experience spending the day in the high Atlas mountains. Hassan was a wonderful driver who instead of dropping us off in Jemaa Square (where he met us) he took us to our door, we're not in a hotel but in an apartment outside of the touristy part of Marrakech and it's not an easy location to find. He was kind, relaxed and genuine in spirit. He drove all us around Imlil Valley stopping at the best viewing spots for picture taking opportunities. I highly recommend Hassan if you want to take the time to see the amazing Imlil Valley.
