Private5-Day Berber Culture & Cooking Week in the Atlas
About this tour
A week to slow down and step inside High Atlas life. Rather than chasing summits, you live in the villages – baking bread in a clay oven, layering a tagine, folding msemen and weaving with local artisans.
You stay in Imlil and with a family in Aroumd, spend a day on the terraces at harvest, visit the village market and finish with a traditional feast. 15–20 km of easy walking spread across the week.
