You step out of Marrakech’s orange-stone heat and, within an hour, the road climbs into the High Atlas where wind-carved ridges press skyward and village roofs dot the slopes like cairns.

Bring some Moroccan dirham for purchases at cooperatives, small market stalls, and tips; remote villages may be cash-only.
Lunch with a Berber family is included in the itinerary; if you have dietary restrictions note them when booking so hosts can accommodate when possible.
The High Atlas has been inhabited by Amazigh (Berber) communities for millennia; their terraces and stone architecture reflect long-standing mountain agriculture and trade routes.
