Your Destinations

Marrakech

As Morocco's fourth largest and possibly most crucial former imperial city, Marrakech has a world-wide reputation for being a colourful cultural, religious, and trade-focused hub. Known as "The Red City" for its rose hued facades and medina walls, this exotic destination has much to offer to the discerning traveller. Nestled at the foot of the High Atlas mountains and within ancient city walls, this city is surrounded by look-out towers and ramparts, and filled with a densely packed maze of narrow streets and alleyways.  

One of its most famous landmarks is the Jemaa el-Fna Square which to this day continues to be the busiest and most lively square in Africa.
In 2001 the cultural space of Jemaa el-Fna Square was named as a 'Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity' by UNESCO. Following its history as a central meeting place within Marrakech since the fourteenth century, the Square is representative of a unique concentration of popular Moroccan cultural traditions, largely consisting of performance through musical, religious and artistic expressions.

Happy Valley and Atlas Mountain Range

The region of Ait Bougmez is also known as 'Happy Valley', given its spectacular and beautiful setting in the High Atlas, surrounded by an amphitheatre of stunning mountains of which the highest is M'Goun (4068 m), the country's second highest peak. 

This offer includes a 3 day tour that breaks away from the traditional tourists sites in Marrakech, bringing guests to picturesque villages, intense green valleys and wild landscapes. Through this experience, you will have the opportunity to visit the breathtaking Ouzoud waterfalls and gain an understanding of the culture of the native Berber people. You will also awaken to views of terraced fields, scattered flora and fauna and total serenity, far away from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech's city centre. 

Your Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival to Marrakech and transfer to Ouirgane:
Following your arrival in the 'Red City' of Marrakech, you will be met by our representative at Marrakech Menara Airport and directed to your private car for transfers to your centrally located hotel.

Overnight at Riad les Oliviers

Day 2: Marrakech – Ourika – Demnate:
After enjoying a delicious breakfast you will be collected by your English speaking driver at 08.30am, before setting off to Demanate along the West and Central High Atlas mountains and valleys. The first stop of your trip will bring you to Toubkal National Park, where guests will be greeted by panoramic views of Jbel Toubkal - the highest mountain in the range at 4,167m. The range serves as a weather system barrier in Morocco running east-west and separating the Sahara from the Mediterranean and continental zones to the North and West. In higher elevations snow falls here regularly, allowing the opportunity for tourists to partake in Winter sports!

After continuing down the road to Ourika Valley, you will notice the landscapes becoming progressively greener, and the air purer. You’ll drive by a succession of stunning views on the douar road, where the Ourika kasbahs majestically reign over the valley. There are beautiful hikes to be had from Asguine, Aghbalou, Asgaour and Oulmes and with orchards, gardens and vast fields surrounding, the colours of this valley are dazzling. Aghbalou is the most important village on the Ourika oued where you will stop for a refreshment on the river's edge. Don’t miss the chance to get a photo of its brick mosque, as the architecture features unexpected twists in comparison to traditional Islamic buildings. After some free time for lunch (not included), your driver will take you via narrow country lanes towards Demnate via Ait Ourir and Touama.

Day 3:  Demnate – Happy valley Ait Bougemez:
Situated within the heart of the High Central Atlas Mountain Range and away from the crowd and noise of Marrakech, enjoy this full day tour complete with enviable views of Ait bougmez valley - more commonly referred to as Happy Valley thanks to its colourful fields of apples trees, walnuts and the large number of vegetables. After a satisfying breakfast, your journey will starts with a stop over Damnate at the natural bridge of Imi n Ifri. This limestone bridge like cave was formed 180 million years ago and stands at 200m high, making for a breath-taking experience. Enjoy a truly countrified experience in this region as the fairly new roads create a feeling that the valley is untouched by time. Here, the mountains are striped gold, orange and purple, with green crops sprouting from stone-walled terraces.

Following a 1 hour drive, you will reach the centre of Happy Valley in ait Bougemez. As a perfect place to stop for lunch (not included), guests may sit gazing over the peaceful terrace with views of the Jbe Megoun and Agouti. After Lunch you will be taken to visit the dinosaur’s footprints on your way to Demnate, travelling through fantastically diverse landscapes including the conventional Berber villages and cliffs! An afternoon visit to the Jewish-built collective store of Ait Bougemez is not to be missed as the day comes to a close, given its history dating back to the 16th Century - After a long day of exploration your driver will return you to the hotel Kasbah Illy.

Dinner and Overnight stay at Kasbah Illy
 
Day 4:  Demnate – Ouzoud Waterfalls – Marrakech:
Following breakfast it will be time to bid farewell to your hotel Kasbah Illy, before heading to Ouzoud. In just 45 minutes you will reach one of the most spectacular sights in Morocco as located in a plush valley, within the friendly Berber village lies the famous Ouzoud Waterfalls. Beginning with an incredible panoramic sight of all three waterfalls, and with excellent views of the 110m drop into the river below, the day will continue with a trek along the river. This will bring guests to the caves of Gorges of Oued el- Abid, and an area where you can enjoy Moroccan specialties with fresh squeezed orange juice at one of the many cafes along the terraces. Take a picture to capture the essence of the beautiful rainbows that often appear near the bottom of the falls, and help to make this the memory of a lifetime.
