Day by day

• Programme
  Departure in the morning from Marrakech, we take the road to the valley of the Ourika. During the trip, we visit a women's cooperative producing argan oil for cooking but also for cosmetics.
  
  In just one hour's drive, we arrive at the valley of the Ourika. We stop at the weekly market of Tnine-Ourika. Beautiful Berber village where the souk (market) stands at the edge of the river (oued) every Monday.
  
  We then meet a Berber family to discover their lifestyle. As a welcome, the guests will serve a tea accompanied by a snack, so as not to derogate from the hospitality so well known in the country.
  School supplies or other useful objects can be given out to the children of the village, who will be delighted.
  
  We continue our visit to the heights of the Atlas to explore the waterfalls of Setti-Fatma. The landscape is becoming more green, and the air is getting cooler. We climb up to the waterfalls and enjoy the scenery. After a traditional lunch of tajines and/or grilled food by the river, we take the road to Marrakech.
