High Atlas agafay desert day trip, Lake Takerkoust & Ouirgan and Azzaden Valley. On this exciting expedition you’ll move 4×4 on associate degree off-the-beaten-track Atlas circuit of scenic contrasts and experiences .

We embrace a drive across the barren Marrakech desert of Agafay, with an exquisite background of High Atlas peaks, and that we begin a visit to lake Takerkoust then a awfully scenic drive . After, on a remote mountain road to the Azzaden Valley via Amizmiz .
After a tasty local lunch at Berber House Retreat you’ll have time to explore the Berber hamlet of Tassa Ouirgane on foot, relax and enjoy unrivalled views of the High Atlas mountains .

From lake to mountains as we head higher into the Atlas to the regional Berber town of Amizmiz. If you visit on a Tuesday you’ll witness one of the most traditional and exotic weekly markets in the Atlas mountains.
