Day 2
Sights and Souks of Marrakech

Stop by the Mellah, or former Jewish Quarter, to learn about Morocco’s little-known but significant Jewish heritage.

Try the tagine and refreshing mint tea, then head out for the afternoon to explore the souks, or markets, which spread through the winding alleyways of the medina. The shops sell everything from spices to clothing, household goods, and a variety of traditional Moroccan gifts and souvenirs.
In the evening make your way to the sprawling Djema El Fna Square to see a colorful medley of street performers, fortune-tellers, musicians, and food vendors.
Day 4
Into the Atlas, Day in The Life!
Depart Marrakech by 9:00 A.M. for the 1.5 hour drive to the nearby Berber village of Imlil (where Said was born) to meet your expert mountain guide who will accompany you throughout the day. Spend the day exploring rural life in the Atlas mountains on foot. Walking sticks. A Day in the Life of several aspects of the community, beginning with meeting a local family. We’ll greet our hosts in their home to get a firsthand look at a typical family’s lifestyle in this region. Our host is a bricklayer, while his wife and children help out with farm work in the outlying fields, and can share their perspective of everyday life as a Berber in rural Morocco.
The walk in the villages is a moderately 1.5 hour climb into the mountains, although it can be adjusted for difficulty and duration. Enjoy views of the snow-capped mountains and learn about the local culture and history as you hike. For lunch, settle in on the terrace of a family home for an incredible home-cooked meal with views of Mt. Toubkal, Learn about Berber life

Day 1
Arrival To Marrkech

Day 3
Cooking Classes
Drawing from Arab, Berber, Jewish, African and French traditions, Moroccan cuisine is widely recognised and provides a healthy diet. Morocco is home to an abundance of locally grown fresh food, due to the wonderful year round climate and extensive irrigation.
Used with an imaginative range of spices, herbs and oils, the produce creates a distinct range of tasty meals including Tajines, Couscous, Salads and Berber flat breads. A wander round a souk gives you a sense of the immense range of fresh vegetables and fruits available to Moroccan families and chefs. If you are expecting some sort of regimented classroom style cookery course then its best you do not read any further. Our Moroccan, Berber cooking courses are more about spending some quality time in a beautiful location and taking a more intimate and personal approach towards the Berber style of cooking.
By definition, most Berber cuisine is ‘slow food’ and the Berbers themselves seldom rush anyway so you need to be somewhere scenic, atmospheric and relaxed at the same time. It’s all part and parcel of the Berber experience.
