Description

Embark on a full-day tour from Marrakech into the hidden world of Berbers. On a fascinating trek through the High Atlas mountains, admire stunning natural landscapes, meet local people and learn about their traditions, and visit the Kasbah du Toubkal.
The tour begins with pickup from your hotel in Marrakech in the morning and heads south through the Plains of Haouz towards Asni, which lies at the base of the High Atlas Mountains. Arrive at the first stop of the day, an Argan oil cooperative, and learn about the fascinating process of producing Argan oil from start to finish.
