Like many North African towns, Marrakech is divided into two distinct fields, the Gueliz (the modern French-built city) and the Medina (the ancient city). For centuries, it has been a meeting place for the Berbers and the desert peoples of the north who came to trade among the colorful souks, turning the old town center into a rich cacophony of noise and color. This morning we’re travelling to this vibrant city to enjoy a tour of some of its most enchanting places with a local guide. You can walk past vendors of doughnuts and fried grasshoppers, walkthrough indigenous markets where Muslim women, with henna, colored hands and feet, call for the sale of their goods and enjoy the exotic sounds and smells. After our tour there will be the option to stay in town and make your way back to the hotel, take time to enjoy more of the remarkable Medina, maybe haggling for a bargain or two, or just sitting in one of the local cafes and watching the street paintings unfold before you. The beating heart of the city is the spectacular Djemma-el-Fna, an unmissable site and a scene right out of the Arab Nights pages. The square is alive with storytellers and performers, acrobats and jugglers, snake charmers and clowns. Marrakech is like no other town and a stroll in it.
Below us the Oued Rhirhaia valley extends into the distance and tiny villages cling to the sides of steep mountains as we meander our way to Ouirgane village. The High Atlas ‘ towering peaks are the largest mountain range in North Africa, a wild region that is culturally separated from the remainder of Morocco, and a barrier between the northern plains and pre-Sahara. This is the land of the fiercely autonomous Berbers, the Atlas Lords, whose traditions and methods still prevail in their mountain strongholds far from the towns below. The Berbers offer us a distinctive perspective of a manner of life that has been lost to the remainder of North Africa, where music and dance evolve.
We walk in the region of Ouirgane, which is the ideal place to enjoy the beautiful landscape of this beautiful portion of North Africa (mules are provided for the younger kids). We visit a Berber village and meet a local family for dinner (the price of this is paid for locally) and learn more about these most notable and hospitable people’s distinctive lifestyles. On a separate path, we walk back to our hotel with panoramic views of Ouirgane artificial lake. The pool is at leisure for the remainder of the evening. The walk will last for a total of about four hours and can be adjusted depending on the fitness, interest and local weather conditions of the group.

This morning we’re going to drive to Taroudant where we’re going to explore the market after that; we’re going to continue driving to the imouzzer ida-tannane waterfall for which the village was famous; it’s nearby, and it was the best seen at its foot 4 km downhill south. Unfortunately, drought has influenced the falls in recent years; tight irrigation control now, on most occasions, reduces the cascade to a trickle with the villagers turning on the falls only for unique activities; however, the petrified canopy of the falls is of concern to walkers in its own right. A highway with a surface area of four kilometres winds down to the foot of the falls, the entire region is ideal for walkers of interest. A four-kilometre paved street with cafes and souvenir stalls on both sides of the riverbed twists down to the foot of the falls. A path from the smallest point in the hotel’s garden doors cascades follows a channel of water across cliffs (then it’s feasible to scramble down into the olive groves, but it’s not a timid or unsuitable route, and it’s difficult to ascend again).
