Questions about excursions around Marrakech (page 6 of 7)

So it's not the pollution... it's definitely the génépi! 😏

The combo can't be easy!

Well! I was looking for info on Morocco and stumbled upon this discussion... I see there are some great people gathered here, so I’ll stick around for a bit 😉. Bruno, you’re stepping out of your comfort zone—11 people, a spa, massages... I’ve never set foot in Morocco, so I’m no help on this post, but I’m still jotting down all the suggestions .

Hey there, Grenoble local! If you had the courage to read everything, we kinda strayed from the original topic, but we’re having fun, so welcome! And honestly, we still made some progress…

😉 Okay, since you've been good, I'll share the plan—well, a first draft at least!

Good evening,

I loved lunch on the terrace at Dar Dar. Reservation required. It’s on the street that starts from Place JEFN and leads to the Ferblantiers. In the evening, I enjoyed Boz' in on the Ourika road. Reservations are also required there.

Did you pack the little flag? 😛[;)

Now that's what I call organization! You could apply to work at a tour operator!

Good evening,

I loved lunch on the terrace at Dar Dar. Booking is mandatory. It's on the street that starts from Place JEFN and leads to the Ferblantiers. In the evening, I enjoyed Boz' in on the Ourika road. Reservations are also required there.

Thanks for the addresses, I’ll make a note of them. Anyway, with 11 of us, booking is still a must!

You planning on bringing the little flag? 😛😉

I’d be more the type to bring a whip for the stragglers

I think I’m gonna hire one myself 😜 🤪

1/ In the itinerary, I’ve planned a day in Imlil with lunch in town and a short hike around. Anyone have a nice spot (friendly place + good food) in the area where I could book directly?

2/ I skipped Ouzoud (seems too touristy) for Imlil. But I’m still hesitating…

Hi there,

Imlil is a small village with a parking lot. There are plenty of little restaurants. After parking your car, you can head to the waterfalls right nearby (there’s a cute café with your feet in the water!) From there, walk up to the village of Armed. It’s easy, but if some people really can’t walk, there’s an excellent track for cars or, even more fun, a mule ride. In Armed, the restaurant Roches d’Armed has a breathtaking view of the Toubkal and the valley. The way back down is easy too. A lovely, relaxing day—much less tiring than Ouzoud.

If you can do this excursion on a Saturday, make a one-hour stop on the way at the big souk in Asni for a dose of picturesque charm! !

Hi I confirm. It's better to go to Imlil than to the Ouzoud waterfalls!

Thanks Françoise for these precious tips—I wasn’t quite sure how to tackle this day, but now I just have to grab my little flag 😁

Hi there, I confirm. It's better to go to Imlil than to the Ouzoud Waterfalls!

That’s what I thought, thanks for confirming! 😉

Hi everyone. I’d booked 2 cars, but after taking a closer look at the provider, I’m realizing I’m heading for trouble... Does anyone have a reliable name on the ground? And their contact details, please? Thanks

Hi Bruno

Yacout or Medloc.

Hey,

The two Kate mentioned are good—I’d add Oyama for Marrakech (no deposit required).

I’ve rented 3 times with Yacout Tours. Never had any issues. But that was 15+ years ago, and I see they’re still around—that’s a good sign. 😏

Thanks to all three of you for your quick reply—looks like they’re more reliable than mine, actually. 😉
