After a 30-kilometer drive south, the first stop will be just before reaching the Asni valley to capture photos of the ancient Berber village of Azrou.

- Moulay Brahim - The journey continues deeper into the Atlas valleys, reaching an altitude of 1200m near the Moulay Brahim gorges. Here, guests will leave the car to enjoy a 30-minute camel ride. The tour then proceeds to the Ait Mizane valley, the operator’s home village, where the family will warmly welcome guests with fresh mint tea before serving a three-course meal (salad, tagine, and Berber couscous) on an open terrace with a breathtaking view of the entire valley. This is an opportunity to engage with the culture and learn about the locals’ way of life.
After lunch, the operator will guide guests on a unique and scenic walk (1-3 hours) through lush fields and typical Berber villages to meet more local people who have grown up in the Berber community. The operator will gladly share extensive knowledge of Berber culture and heritage.
