What to Expect When Visiting Marrakech, Marrakech-Safi, Morocco
Discover the best of Morocco and the old Berber villages on this private day tour from Marrakech into the High Atlas Mountains.
With your driver you will depart from Marrakech at 9am and head towards the High Atlas Mountains on the Ouarzazate road. You will pass Ait Ourir before leaving the main route to continue our trip to the Zat valley. This small Berber paradise is still unknown by the tourist masses and is hidden away in the heart of the Atlas Mountains.
The Zat valley is lined with terraces of crops local to this area like poplar trees, and fig-trees and authentic villages built into the mountainside. You will be able to go hiking on foot or by mule departing from the village of Tighdouine (known for its natural source of sparkling water) for a visit to the village of Talatast. For those more courageous and according to the programme agreed with your guide, you can continue along the road to the more distant village of Aït Ali hidden behind the mountain.
You have lunch with a local family. On the return trip there is the possibility of visiting a women’s cooperative where 24 local women create beautiful embroidery and glassware (Monday – Friday afternoons). You will return to Marrakech around 5pm.
