I'd like recommendations for hiking in the Atlas Mountains, ideally off the beaten track. Basic accommodation is fine, but not backpacking.

The accommodation on this itinerary is in simple gites (local houses with bedrooms, bathrooms, and cooking facilities). We also provide a guide and a cook, with muleteers to carry the food, water, and luggage, so all you need is a daysack.
Itinerary:
- Day 1: Pick up from Marrakech or nearby and transfer by private minibus to the mountains and the Valley of Oukaimden. Start the walk and ascend Tizi-n-Addi to the village of Tacheddirt. Night in a gite, with lunch and dinner.
- Day 2: Walk along the valley and over the Tizi-n-Tamatert to Imlil and Aroumd. Night in a gite, full board.
- Day 3: From Aroumd, ascend the foothills of Aguzim and descend to Tizi Oussem. Night in a gite, full board.
- Day 4: Descend from Tizi Oussem to the Valley of Ourigane and overnight in a hotel. Breakfast and lunch.
- Day 5: Transfer back to Marrakech.
