Itinerary
We leave Marrakesh at around 9am and drive toward the Atlas Mountains, taking in the beautiful landscapes and authentic Berber (16th and 17th century) villages.
First stop is a visit to a traditional Moroccan house, learning about the lives of indigenous Morrocan village people, including traditional Berber cuisine. Experience stunning views of the village and valley from the roof of the house.
The Lady- the owner of the house – conducts a tea ceremony and demonstrates how to make mint tea, served with a traditional country breakfast (bread, butter, honey, olive oil and tea).
After leaving the the Berber village we explore further down the valley, stopping for a 20 minute camel ride, followed by a short hike to check out some spectacular waterfalls.
Lunch follows this (a short drive from the hike) in a lovely restaurant with beautiful views of the valley serving a variety of traditional Moroccan cuisine.
At about 5pm, we arrive back in Marrakesh.
