Local Living Morocco–Atlas Mountains

7 Days 13 Departures
From $524 per person

Tour Overview

Get ready to go beyond the typical and immerse yourself in the heart of Morocco on this week-long journey. Start in Marrakech, where the pulse of the city beats through its vibrant souks, aromatic spice stalls, and lively squares. Then, leave the city behind and venture deep into the breathtaking Ourika Valley and High Atlas Mountains, where the traditional Amazigh village of Tizi N’Oucheg awaits. Here, life moves at a different pace, and you’ll be part of it — baking fresh bread, weaving with local artisans, planting alongside villagers, and hiking scenic trails with a shepherd to glimpse his daily world. Wander through the local market, soak in the stunning mountain scenery, and experience the warmth of a community where traditions are passed down through generations. This isn’t just a visit — it’s a chance to become part of a place most travellers never get to see.

Spend a free morning in Marrakech before transferring to your local living stay in a remote Gîte located in the stunning Ourika Valley. Think breathtaking mountain scenery with snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas Mountains in the distance, and well-preserved Amazigh culture and traditions. There will be stop along the way in this small town near the Ourika River for lunch on your own. The final part of today’s travels includes a 4x4 ride along steep, unpaved roads finishing at the Gîte where there will be welcome tea and a village walk to explore the charming surroundings, and meet some of the locals. Later, learn a few Arabic words to help you communicate over the coming days.
Day 4

Tizi n' Ocheg

Today the group will split up in the morning. Half will enjoy a bread-making experience in a local village home and half will immerse themselves in a weaving lesson in another village home to learn one of the region’s most cherished traditions: carpet making. Then, the groups will switch homes and experience the other activity before heading back to the Gîte for lunch. Enjoy your freshly-made bread as part of the meal. Later attend a tagine cooking class at another local villager’s home to round out an incredibly immersive cultural day in the Ourika Valley.

Tizi n' Ocheg

Today get ready for a more active adventure as you hike alongside a local shepherd and gain a true feel of his daily routines.

Return to the gîte in the afternoon to relax and recharge. Perhaps spend time sipping tea on the terrace before heading out to watch a football match amid the local villagers. If you’re feeling up to it, join in the fun and try to score a goal. Enjoy dinner back at the gîte after a full day of cultural immersion.
Day 6

Tizi n' Ocheg

On your final full day at the gîte the group will travel to the local market where the villagers do their shopping. Explore the many different areas and get a sense of what is sold here, as well as the importance of this market in allowing the village to sustain their way of life outside of the city. Lunch will be had on your own in the market, and you can choose from a variety of local specialties to try. Transfer back to the gîte in the afternoon for some downtime before hiking to a nearby scenic location to have tea and watch the sunset amid the valley.
