Day 2: Marrakech

Marrakech, the imperial city, has passed through several dynasties, leaving behind a rich history that can still be seen today. Remains date back to the time of the Sultan, the Almohads, and beyond. These structures served multiple purposes:

some for prayer, others for knowledge and learning, and even for accommodation. Today, they represent the most visited monuments in Marrakech, offering a glimpse into another era and an opportunity to experience the past. Visit the Koutoubia Mosque, the Madrasa, and the Bahia Palace in the morning or

afternoon, allowing you time to relax or explore with your guide. You will receive assistance in exploring the bustling stalls and workshops less frequented by tourists. End your day at Jemaa el-Fna square and marvel at the storytellers, musicians, snake charmers, acrobats, jugglers, and other performers.

Day 3: Marrakech

Excursion: The Ourika Valley

Take the Atlas Mountains road and travel through stunning landscapes, from vast green meadows to authentic Berber villages dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. If you choose to take this excursion on a Monday, you'll even have the chance to stop at a roadside souk. Discover orchards, terraced vegetable gardens, and villages clinging to the hillsides. You'll be amazed by the fruits of the Berbers' labor, who had to climb the hills carrying the necessary materials to build these small villages and who worked to create the terraces in a very challenging environment. Continue your journey through the Valley of Palms, following the Ourika River. Along the way, discover numerous fruit trees, tiny villages, a river lined with a few restaurants, and the vacation homes of a few fortunate individuals. Then head to Setti Fatma for a refreshing break.
