Overview

For lovers of nature, fresh air, and adventure — and for travelers craving a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech — this private day trip takes you deep into the High Atlas Mountains, through unspoilt Berber villages and some of the warmest, most welcoming people you'll meet in Morocco.

This is a stress-free journey to the "real" Morocco. You'll step inside a genuine Berber home and share lunch with the family who lives there, take in panoramic views over the Ourika Valley, learn the story behind Morocco's famous organic Argan oil straight from the women who produce it, and try your hand at traditional pottery with a local artisan.

Because the day is entirely private, it moves at your pace — no crowds, no rushing, no fixed script. Just your group, the mountains, and a side of Morocco most travelers never see.

What's Included

  • Traditional Moroccan lunch
  • Argan oil demonstration
  • Pottery initiation with a local artisan
  • Gratuities (optional)
