Atlas Mountain Trek

You spend four days in the Atlas Mountains, crossing mountain passes and traversing valleys. Hiking is a great way to discover this region as the easy pace allows you to take in your surroundings and marvel at the fantastic views. On your hike you stay overnight in Berber villages, giving you an insight into rural life in contemporary Morocco.


Souks of Marrakech

A guided walk through the old city in Marrakech takes you through the narrow alleyways of the souks. Jam-packed with colourful wares this is a great spot for souvenir hunting and trying out your haggling skills.
