Route

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 Marrakech

Aan de voet van het Atlasgebergte staat Marrakesh met zijn rode muren bekend om de doolhofachtige medina, het levendige plein en rustige riads en tuinen.

Jemaa el-Fnaa, het grote plein in het centrum van de medina, verandert door de dag van karakter: van sapverkopers en slangenbezweerders 's ochtends tot eetkraampjes in de rook en muzikanten na het donker. De minaret van de Koutoubia-moskee verrijst vlakbij als het baken van de stad, en de soeks strekken zich naar het noorden uit in een wirwar van steegjes met leer, lantaarns, tapijten en specerijen.
