get to our vehicle which takes us through this beautiful valley on to
the riverside hamlet of Setti Fadma with its groves of ancient walnut
trees, where we can take a 45 minute walk around the handicraft shops
set amidst apple orchards, and then return to our Anrar village around

flowers to follow alongside the river’s course up and down small hills
dotted with red juniper, passing by isolated Berber hamlets until we
reach the salt mines at Marigha. Here the Berber peoples have been
mining salt by their traditional method used unchanged for centuries.
You may see them riding from village to village, selling their salt
from the back of their donkeys. You should also, depending on the time
of day, get to see those delightful Berber women sitting on their
haunches for a chat after gathering wood.
A short drive back for a dinner and overnight at our luxury Berber
Kabah Omar in Ourika.
Day 4 - Western Ourika Valley & Oukaimeden Plateau (6 hours hike)

Day 5 - The Magnificent Jbel Toubkal and Sisters (7hours hike)
We set off today towards the southwest skirting the Berber town of
Imlil about 35 min drive from our village( 1740 m), known as Morocco
’s ‘Little Chamonix’, set, as we are, in the upper level foothills of
the Western High Atlas mountains of the Toubkal National Park. With
streams and paths branching out in all directions, we traverse the
Tamatert Valley until we reach the hamlet of Achelm to strike out for
some 4km towards the south towards the Berber village of Aroumd (Aremd)
(1843m), passing the hamlets of Taourirt, Targa, and Imoula, up and
down the stark slopes, the jagged Western High Atlas peaks of the Jbel
Toubkal Massif - at 4167m the highest peak in North Africa - before
us, with her awe-inspiring sister peaks the Jbels Aguelzim (3547m),
Aksouâl (3847m) and the Adrar Adj (3122m) watching us all the way.
We’ll stop at Aroumd to visit this rather singular village in the
Assif Aït Mizane Valley , built seemingly house upon house on a large
moraine spur overlooking ancient irrigated terraced fields of barley,
corn and vegetables and always surrounded by almond and walnut trees.
We thence carry on for another 8km.to the equally-quaint village of
Sidi Chamharouch, a Berber village set beside a waterfall and small
stream, again with its pisé homes seemingly built somewhat chaotically
one into another. This village is a place of pilgrimage for devout
Moslems and it is where there is a marabout shrine – forbidden to
non-Moslems - said to be a relic of a pre-Islamic religious and
naturalist cult. We’ll take a break for a picnic, within full view of
Jbel Toubkal , prior to setting off back down the other side of the
valley at a gentle pace back to the delightful Douar Samra where you
bid farewell - ‘bissalaama’ means bye - to your mountain guide.
Dinner and overnight at your luxury Kabah Omar at the village of Anrar.
Day 6 -Marrakech
An enchanting palm oasis set against the snow-capped peaks of the High
Atlas Mountains, Marrakech is Morocco’s second oldest Imperial City
and retains the majestic splendor of its ancient past. Buildings are
blushed in hues of rosy earth, and horse-drawn carriages clip along
broad avenues lined with palm, lime and orange trees. Donkeys carrying
carts trawl past fragrant gardens of roses, honeysuckle and jasmine.
Explore the ancient Bahia Palace from the days of the harem, now
populated by a sentry of nesting storks, enter the ancient royal
Saadien Tombs and view the majestic Koutoubia Mosque before entry into
the 9th century walled medina. The bewitching night beats in the heart
of the old city’s famed square, Djemaa el-Fna, where delectable fare
is grilled over coals in bustling torch-lit open-air markets. Mystical
snake charmers, hustlers and mischievous monkeys unfold as part of the
nightly drama as Berber acrobats, fortune tellers, musicians and
engaging storytellers seduce rapt crowds. Wind your way through the
serpentine labyrinth of the spice-filled air of the bustling souk,
unchanged for over 1000 years, where you’ll discover the best of
traditional Moroccan craftsmanship.
We’ll cap off our evening at the spectacular dinner event in the
desert of Marrakech, Fantasia, where we’ll bear witness to a splendid
dramatic display of Arabian Nights, belly dancing, folkloric troupes,
and stately Arabian steeds charging in dynastic battles as of yore.
Accommodation at your luxury Riad in Marrakech.
