It's a popular starting point for trekkers and outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore the stunning landscapes of the Atlas Mountains.

"Imlil is the epicenter for hiking and trekking in the High Atlas Mountains. The peak of Toukbal is adjacent to the village, making it a perennial favorite for outdoorsy tourists. While Toukbal is a bigger go than just a day trip from Marrakesh, there are lots of wonderful hikes around town. Plus the village has lots of local shops and craftsmen"

"This is where the hike starts from and you'll be welcomed by Jamal and your mountain guide. "
