Tour Plan
From Imlil we set out along a piste for 1 hour and 45 minute hike toward the east,
up to the Tizi n'Tamatert (2279m) and continue through wheat and barley fields
and apple, cherry and walnut orchards until reaching the village of Tamatert.
From the village we hike a path leading up through pine and juniper woods,
stopping at the Tizi to admire the the Imlil and Imnane valleys. From the
Imnane Valley you can see many Berber villages tucked into the surrounding
slopes. Continuing along the upper valley slopes for another hour to the villages
of Ouanskra and Amagdoul, set amidst terraced slopes of land. Here we will
stop for a field picnic on the plateau, a favourite bivouac site during the summer.
We will spend the afternoon hiking for about 2 hours up through the valley, along
the mule trails until we reach Tachdirt (2291m), one of the oldest and prettiest villages
in the Toubkal massif, carved into the craggy slopes. Here we will spend the night at guesthouse
After an early breakfast we begin an approximately 6 hour hike southeast to
the terraced village of Timichi (1850m), at the western head of the Ourika Valley.
For 2 and a half hours we ascend slowly to the Tizi n'Tachdirth (3200m), which
will give us an amazing view of Jebel Aksoual (3842m) and Bouignouane (3882m)
on one side, and Angour on the other, the beautiful verdant valley stretching out
below us.
Traversing the pass and continuing down in a northeastern direction for another 2
hour hike until arriving at the village of Iaabbassen (2030m). Here we will stop for
a welcome field picnic beside a spring just outside the village. After lunch we
continue down the valley to the old village of Timichi, a picturesque cluster of
homes set in a grove of ancient nut trees. Here we will enjoy dinner and an overnights tay in a Berber family home.
After breakfast we set out for a 4-5 hour hike east along the luscious valley of corn and wheat fields,
nut groves and flowing streams. We will pass through the villages of Anfli and Tadrart, arriving at the end of the Ourika Valley and the famous village of Setti Fatma, with its nut tree groves and rushing waterfalls.

It is a great place to shop not too far from New York. We took the bus from Port Authority and traveled through the countryside to get there.
