Imlil, Marrakesh-Safi

Imlil (Arabic: إمليل; Berber languages: ⵉⵎⵍⵉⵍ) is a small village in the high Atlas Mountains of Morocco.

Imlil makes a good base for attempting to summit Toubkal as it lies at the end of the tarmac road, and is a natural place to hire mountain guides and mules for the onward trek.

The original communities still exist in the valleys around Tamatert, Ait Souka, Tagadirt, Tacheddirt, Acheim, Taourirt n'Ait Mizane, Mzikene and Arhrene.

On 17 December 2018, two trekkers Louisa Vesterager Jespersen from Denmark and Maren Ueland from Norway, were murdered near to the village by Islamic terrorists who had pledged allegiance to ISIS.

The villagers experienced significant losses to food stocks and agricultural lands, as well as a depleted tourist industry over the proceeding months.
