The combination of these three valleys brings you into secluded fertile valleys where daily life of the indigenous Berber inhabitants moves with time honoured traditions. Immerse yourself for a day and discover the real Morocco as you travel through this ancient landscape with its many hidden treasures and incredible vistas.
Small villages of adobe houses nestled in the mountainside with terraced fields, fruit and nut trees, bee hives and olive trees, here, everything works in sympathy with nature.
Many artisans produce excellent work in these villages for sale in the nearby souks. Visit imlil Valley, Asni Valley, and the village of Moulay Brahim and the Kik Plateau at the Atlas Mountains.
