Depart from your hotel at 2 pm (via 4+4 car/s), leaving the hustle and bustle of Marrakech behind you
As you drive, you will be seeing and enjoying the beautiful and peaceful countryside. Then, you will be exploring the stunning High Atlas mountain scenery passing many Berber villages, including main ones such as ''Asni'', Moulay Brahim and other smaller ones deep in the country. You will even have a chance to visit a Berber house, have some tea with the family and learn something about the culture of the local people.
At certain point, you will get to the so called "Plateaux du kik- a stunning area, which is around 1300m (approximatively 4265 feet ) high. It provides amazing views over the Toubkal Mountain and the famous Takerkoust lake.
After taking pictures, drive down to the artificial lake, called after the Berber village around it
(Lalla Takerkoust). It is a popular destination for people in Marrakech and a refuge from the
high temperatures of the city in summer. The scenery is beautiful, so you can take many
photos
.
Then you continue to Agafay where you will explore the amazing landscape of this
desert oasis, where you will also see structures very similar to the sand dunes in the Sahara,
and get marvellous views of the Atlas Mountains in the distance.
Get a nomadic experience in this unique place, riding camels to see the beautiful sunset.
Then drive back to Marrakech for your hotel accommodation.
