Tnine Ourika - Departure from Marrakesh at 9:00 am. On our way we will stop at the Berber market and choose the freshest ingredients for your meal from tagine or couscous (Vegetarian Options Available).
The second stop will be in a Moroccan Berber house. You will have the opportunity to tour the house. The rooftop/terrace offers a wonderful panoramic view of the village and its surroundings. You will also learn how to make a Moroccan mint tea specially from a Berber woman staying at home. It follows the traditional Moroccan breakfast, which consists of bread, olive oil, jam and honey. After visiting the berber house, we will take a camel ride, which will last for approximately 30 minutes. - Ourika Valley - After the camel ride, we’ll go back to Berber’s house. Meet La la Malika, an experienced chef, at her family home, then spend the day in her traditional kitchen and your driver guide will be with you all day to help translate. Prepare a hearty 3-course lunch using recipes handed down from generation to generation from the Malika family. Cook with earthen tagine dishes over a brazier, which is copper-burning charcoal. Sit down to the 3-course meal prepared with La Malika using aromatic spices and local produce, then spend the afternoon learning about everyday life in a Burberry house.

You won't be disappointed!! - This experience was top notch! We called and said everything we wanted to explore in one day and Rashid made it happen! We had history, adventure and breathtaking views. It felt like one big family as Rashid was a part of it! We quad-biked in the desert, rode a camel, saw the Berber life, learned the art of making mint tea and argon oil, hiked the Atlas mountain and we has authentic Moroccan meals.....I can't wait to visit Morocco again and have Discover Morocco tours as a guide along the way!

An Amazing Adventure in Morocco - Rasheed our guide was amazing from beginning to end. He was patient, kind, & knowledgeable .We started our day going to a traditional Berber home and had a traditional breakfast. From there we stopped for a 20 minute camel ride with pictures. We climbed the Atlas Mountain s to the waterfall. Rasheed made sure we were safe because getting to the waterfalls was not easy. He took us see how they make Aragon oil and butter. We had a nice lunch by the river. We ended our day with ATV ride through the breathtaking Agafay Desert. I recommend Rasheed and his tour company 100%. He made sure to handle us with great care!
