Sightseeing in Marrakech and 3 days walking the Ourgaine Valley in the Atlas Mountains

So close to home, yet so completely different. This short break provides a great taste of the rich history and culture of Morocco, as well as its stunning and varied landscapes. There is time to explore the Imperial City of Marrakech with its historic mosques and palaces, maze-like souks, tranquil gardens and the Djemaa el Fna square.

A stunningly scenic drive takes us to village of Ouirgane in a picturesque valley in the High Atlas, where we walk through local villages and into the Azaden valley. The Berber inhabitants are colourful and friendly, living according to the seasons and age-old customs.
