3) What we are going to see and enjoy during this five-day tour?

Below is the detail explanation of this package.

1.Travel Over The Stunning High Atlas Mountain

The first day of the tour starts from Marrakech and the tour group travels through the dramatic & eye-catching High Atlas Mountains from side to side to Tizi n Tichka pass. Here the tour group can stop for a brief amount of time and enjoy the constantly changing landscapes.

It will be an amazing experience anyone who is on Marrakech trip can get from SaharaTours passing through the sceneries of cherry blossom, thickly wooded forest & apple plantations in the parts of the middle Atlas making hikers feel like they are on a trip to Europe. While hiking, climbers must have to remember that the landscape quickly changes to rocky, arid and steep. Moreover, trekkers will hike up to the waterfalls in the mountains above the city of Fatima.

All the way through the charming scenes of Middle Atlas, mountaineers can even stop at colourful restaurants line the river to have lunch with an awesome view. Holidaymakers can also go for Moroccan tagine, homemade couscous as well as Olives & mint tea. Actually, Atlas Mountains are home for Morocco’s Berber tribes. Here climbers can also watch small villages dot the side of the road as well as those perched impossibly on the sides of the highest peaks.      

2.Moroccan Argan Oil

Now after getting enough content from the hiking trip to High Atlas Mountains, the tour group moves forward to watch other things on the way such as meeting the local Berber woman famous in the area for opening & establishing women cooperatives in the entire Atlas Mountains.

These women cooperatives are known for harvesting & producing the scant Argan Oil that comes from the Argan nut widespread to the area. It is mainly harvested in spring by the local women and the way they make the Argan Oil is completely new, unique & also traditional in nature.

In order to make the oil, these nuts are traditionally fed to the goats and they digest those nuts and because of the digestion process, the outer coating of the nut breaks down. Once the digestion process is complete, those nuts come out of the body of the goats in the shape of goat dung. Then these nuts are toasted and processed into a lot of products such as oil to beauty products. It is a great deal learning the process of making the Argan oil while spending & enjoying the Fes To Marrakech Tour in the Atlas mountains during the first leg of the tour.

3.Discover The Important Fortress Of Ait Ben Haddou

How about going to Ait Ben Haddou after spending time in High Atlas Mountains Trip? It is next leg of the trip and is a village of clustered Berber Kasbahs that dates to some 12000 years back.

It used to work as a gateway for caravans bringing slaves, gold, ivory & salt from Saharan Africa to Marrakech & beyond.
