HIGH ATLAS ADVENTURER
8 days
Ref: FMH
Village stay and gentle walking in the Atlas Mountains Beach, amel
rides and relaxation in Essaouira Sightseeing and souks in colourful
Marrakech
A week long adventure visiting souks, the Atlantic coast and walking
through mountain villages. Marrakech is a maze of busy bazaars,
palaces and mosques. The centrepiece is the magnificent Djemaa el
Fna Square which comes alive at night with acrobats, storytellers
and snake handlers. The old fishing port of Essaouira with its whitewashed
houses, long beach, and active boatyards, makes for a relaxed stay,
and the absence of cars in the walled city ensures a safe environment
for all the family. Our village stay in the Atlas Mountains is a
special experience, walking in the shadow of North Africa's highest
peak, Mount Toubkal. We walk through peaceful valleys and enjoy
the breathtaking mountain landscape. This is a gentle introduction
to the sights and sounds of this vibrant country.
