High Atlas Mountains day trip with lunch from Marrakech

Around 08:30 am, the tour starts from Marrakesh, straight to Ourika Valley, a splendid area between the Atlas Mountains, famous for its fortified houses built of clay and straw, inhabited by the Berber population who have existed in Morocco for thousands of years, and have maintained their customs and traditions intact over time.

Our first stop will be an extraordinary beautiful panoramic view of the green fields of vegetables and cereals, forage, and - of course - olives, which is a typical product of the valley, some panoramic views deserve to be on your camera, then for interested people, there will be a stop at the cooperative of Argan oil to get a sufficient explanation about how those berber women, do to hand-crack the Argan nuts and squeeze them between two special stones, a technique they've used for centuries.

Afterwards, drive to the Setti Fatma waterfalls, a tour with a local mountain guide that lasts approximately 90 minutes. Back from this nice trek, we will drive off-road through the mountains, for a chance to admire the beauty of the Atlas nature with its different colours, and numerous villages where clay-color homes are still standing after many centuries;

Then head to a small village called Sidi Fares for lunch in a traditional Berber house that looks out on the High Atlas Toubkal mountain, with a height of 4167 meters, also known as the highest peak in North Africa. Then enjoy a delicious taste of the real Berber gastronomy: the menu includes a Berber Tagine, couscous and fruits, then come back to Marrakesh via the Asni valley and Tahannaout village.
