2. Shared taxi via Asni
Shared (grand) taxis leave Marrakech for Asni, and from there to Imlil. Prices are negotiated and change with demand; tourists usually pay more than locals. It is the cheapest option but can take longer while the taxi fills up.
3. Driving yourself
Take the R203 road south from Marrakech towards Asni (about 45 minutes). In Asni, turn left at the small roundabout and follow the paved road for 17 km to Imlil. The road is suitable for an ordinary car.
Next step: trek with a local guide
A licensed local guide is required to climb Mount Toubkal. See our 2-day and 3-day Toubkal treks from €125.
