Stop At: Moulay Brahim, Moulay Brahim, Marrakech-Safi
5km from this small settlement, a metaled road leads to Moulay Brahim where Moroccan and notably Berbers ascribe to the saint Moulay Brahim the power to cure barren women. Pilgrims come to lay their gifts before his tomb and to hang small pieces of fabric from the shrubs here. When one of these fragments falls from the shrub, the woman who hung it may expect a child. Then get to an authentic Berber house for refreshing mint tea and a house made food, and also to discover Berbers culture and their way of life.

Stop At: Agafay, Agafay, Marrakech-Safi
Heading to the Kik Plateau where you have commanding views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Passing by the Valley of N’fis to visit the barrage of Lalla Takerkouste. An hour or so before the dusk we drive towards the Agafay desert: a rough, dry, moon-like expanses 40km southwest of Marrakech down the route of Amzmiz. In spring wheat and wildflowers predominate; in summer and autumn it really does look like the desert; where there is no shade large enough for all; to enjoy a camel ride under a sky that’s co-conspirator with not even a wisp of cloud to soften the harsh rays, and to enjoy a delicious Berber dinner under the twinkling stars.
After dinner, return to Marrakech.
