A break allows you to walk through the pretty alleys of the medina, the alleys of the jewelers' souk which makes the city famous, and have lunch in a pleasant restaurant serving traditional Moroccan dishes. There is also no shortage of the old souk, with its fascinating architecture made up of colonnades and patios where artisans work for money. After crossing the last links of the Anti-Atlas, Guelmim emerges from a vast oasis. Famous for its picturesque weekly camel market, the town is also home to a souk with a wide variety of local crafts. Installation for one night on the outskirts of the city, in a superb desert environment of perfect tranquility.

A surprising vision in the middle of the ocher desert. On the way, we do not miss the palm grove of Tioute where, in lush landscapes, we can visit a female cooperative of argan oil - Moroccan elixir with many virtues -, lunch with the locals or in a local restaurant , and discover the old kasbah which overlooks the valley. Installation for two nights on the edge of a 40 hectare olive grove and a few hundred meters from the impregnable ramparts of Taroudant, within a unique domain, managed in an eco-responsible manner. Once through the door, a whole plant universe unfolds before our eyes - unusual plants from arid regions, with surprising shapes and rare colors that create, over the seasons, true paintings of nature. These amazing gardens were designed by two big names in international landscape design. The places were imagined to preserve the privacy of each and in the respect of ancestral techniques - sets built in natural materials by local craftsmen, no fault of taste. Between moments of sharing and relaxation, we are here as if in suspense.

DAY 8 : Taroudant

Off the tourist paths, Taroudant, in the plain of Souss, is protected by high ocher walls which alone are worth the trip.

It has a small medina, souks with modest but dynamic dimensions, beautiful gardens and a spirit full of seduction. On the program - Day in Berber villages. Nestled in the mountains near terraced crops, Berber villages renowned for their pottery, olive or argan oils reveal to the visitor their ancestral charm and traditions. We have lunch with the locals, the opportunity to meet a people in their daily lives. To see, to do - Browse the souk where the locals come to buy extra quality slippers and famous camel leather goods - enjoy Berber cuisine outdoors at the Jnane Soussia restaurant - walk along the ramparts promenade recently returned to their chandelier - visit Freija, a small fortified village on the south bank of the Souss.

DAY 9 : Taroudant - Return flight

Before leaving Taroudant, there is no shortage of going to visit the Palace Museum of Claudio Bravo, a Chilean hyperrealist painter. Its color palette is inspired by the Italian Renaissance and the Spanish Baroque. Each piece of his magnificent property constitutes a small museum all by itself, by the presence of paintings and works of art collected over the years. Road to Agadir airport (1h), return of the vehicle and return flight.



With a few more days… Dakhla
New Mecca for kite-surfers, Dakhla casually spreads out its turquoise lagoon rocked by the trade winds. Still away from conventional tourist routes, its region offers the face of a Berber territory apart: long sandy beaches beaded with dunes, at the gates of the Saharan desert. A perfect place to end the trip in style (and relaxed).
