Embark on an adventure as we pick you up from your hotel at 9 AM for a remarkable day exploring the High Atlas Mountains and uncovering the hidden gems of the villages surrounding Marrakech. Traverse through the picturesque landscapes of the High Atlas, passing by Berber villages perched on the hillside and observing shepherds tending to their flocks on the rugged slopes of the mountains.
As we journey towards Moulay Brahim, you’ll be enchanted by the ever-changing scenery of plateaus, cliffs, and deep gorges. The Kik plateau showcases its seasonal transformations throughout the year – from brown hues during plowing season to white snow-capped peaks in winter, vibrant green fields in spring adorned with poppies, and golden barley fields in summer heralding the harvest.
