Local Living Morocco–Atlas Mountains
Tour Description:
Get ready to go beyond the typical and immerse yourself in the heart of Morocco on this week-long journey. Start in Marrakech, where the pulse of the city beats through its vibrant souks, aromatic spice stalls, and lively squares. Then, leave the city behind and venture deep into the breathtaking Ourika Valley and High Atlas Mountains, where the traditional Berber village of Tizi N’Oucheg awaits. Here, life moves at a different pace, and you’ll be part of it — baking fresh bread, weaving with local artisans, planting alongside villagers, and hiking scenic trails with a shepherd to glimpse his daily world. Wander through the local market, soak in the stunning mountain scenery, and experience the warmth of a community where traditions are passed down through generations. This isn’t just a visit — it’s a chance to become part of a place most travellers never get to see.
