Ablauf

1. We begin the day’s journey at 9 a.m. when we will transport you from your accommodation in Marrakech to the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Following the road running along the Ourika Valley, we come to a series of picturesque mountain villages that seem to defy gravity as they hang from the steep mountainside. The scenery is rugged, lush and exotic, revealing the stunning landscape awash in a variety of vibrant colors. We will first visit the home of a native Berber family who open their house in customary fashion to visitors. Here we will share tea and breakfast, which typically consists of homemade bread, honey, butter, and olive oil. The day trip will offer you the chance to do some camel trekking for a half an hour deep in the heart of the valley. Later in the day we will visit the famous shrine of Setti Fatma, a favourite destination of tourists and pilgrims alike. The path to Setti Fatma highlights beautiful mountain streams, rugged cliffs, green valleys and seven waterfalls. Here you will see how the native population has tamed and tended the mountainsides for generations to grow the things that make up the staples of the Berber diet. It’s a great photo opportunity here, surrounded by traditional homes, terraced fields, waterfalls, and the magnificent Atlas Range which surrounds it all. After our hike we will enjoy a traditional Moroccan lunch in a charming local restaurant with great views across the valleys and up to the mountain summits. We will then transport you in comfort back to your hotel in Marrakech around 5 p.m.

About Marrakesch

Am Fuß des Atlas ist das rotummauerte Marrakesch berühmt für seine labyrinthische Medina, den lebhaften Hauptplatz sowie ruhige Riads und Gärten.

Der Djemaa el-Fna, der große Platz im Zentrum der Medina, wechselt im Lauf des Tages seinen Charakter: von Saftverkäufern und Schlangenbeschwörern am Morgen zu rauchumwölkten Essensständen und Musikanten nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit. Das Minarett der Koutoubia-Moschee ragt in der Nähe als Wahrzeichen der Stadt auf, und die Souks breiten sich nördlich in einem Gassengewirr aus, in dem Leder, Laternen, Teppiche und Gewürze verkauft werden.
