Tour Highlights

Your journey begins in Marrakech as you head south into the majestic High Atlas Mountains. After a scenic two-hour drive through traditional Berber villages and rugged landscapes, you’ll arrive in the tranquil Ouirgane Valley, nestled in the red Azzaden region.

Follow the Nfiss River as it winds past dammed lakes and a hydroelectric station, then continue toward the Ijoukak region—home to the descendants of the Almohad dynasty. Here, authentic adobe and stone villages dot the hillsides, surrounded by orchards and fertile fields. In spring, almond blossoms bring the valleys to life in a spectacular display.
In the village of Ijoukak, you'll have the chance to visit a local pottery workshop that uses the area's distinctive red clay.

The highlight of the day is your guided visit to the Tinmel Mosque, a magnificent 12th-century structure that marks the birth of the Almohad empire. With its elegant blend of Andalusian and Maghrebi architecture, the mosque remains remarkably well-preserved. Currently undergoing restoration, it now has a roof and is once again used for prayer.
