Your adventure begins at 8:30 AM as we depart from your Marrakech accommodation. We traverse the majestic High Atlas Mountains, where winding roads reveal panoramic views of valleys and traditional Berber villages.
Our first stop is the historic Kasbah Telouet, once the residence of the powerful Glaoui family. Although the interior is currently closed due to the September 2023 earthquake, the exterior still tells tales of its grand past. A local guide will share intriguing stories as you explore the site.
