  1. 1

    By car from Marrakech

    ≈ 65 km · 1.5 hrs

    Take the road to Tahanaout and Asni (R203). In Asni, follow the signs to Imlil: the road climbs the valley for 17 km. Park in the village car park.

  2. 2

    By private transfer

    The easiest way

    On request, a driver meets you at Marrakech-Menara airport or your riad and drops you in Imlil. Essential if you arrive late.

  3. 3

    By shared taxi

    The budget option

    From the Bab Er-Rob taxi station in Marrakech, take a shared grand taxi to Asni, then another from Asni to Imlil. Allow about 2 hours.

    Arriving in Imlil

    Final step

    Once in the village, ask for Auberge Zaratoustra (formerly “Atlas Gîte chez Jean-Pierre”): everyone knows it. Call us when you arrive and we will come to meet you.
