Toubkal at 4,167 m), green valleys, Berber villages and stunning mountain scenery — the most popular day-trip destination from Marrakech. About 1 hour from Marrakech, the landscape transforms from arid plains to green valleys with olive trees, walnut groves and traditional Berber mud-brick villages.
