7 hours (approximately)

Offered in: English and 2 more

This tour is a great option for those who want to escape the urban noise of Marrakech and chill out amidst the greenery in the heart of the Atlas mountains. Labyrinth of paths, which have been walked for centuries, terraced houses – each of them offering a stunning view to the mountain peaks, passing by the solid walls of the Kasbah. Apple and walnut orchards along the way to the village of Aremd in the altitude of 2000 m. Watching the grinning children passing by from school, visiting the local manufacture selling the products of Arghan oil and finally enjoying a bowl of tajine, couscous or some other local delicacy in a family run guesthouse.
Authentic Berber Experience – Instead of just passing through, your tour allows visitors to truly experience Berber culture. Guests interact with local families, share traditional tea, and gain insight into daily life.
