WALKING WITH THE BERBER NOMADS
Twice a year the semi-nomadic tribes of the Ait Atta migrate in search of pastures for their vast flocks of animals. This unique Morocco trekking tour follows the migration of one such family as they move south from the High Atlas Mountains into their homeland, the Jebel Saghro, a remote and dramatic mountain range in the south of Morocco. This is a real life adventure that will appeal to those in search of something different. It offers beautiful scenery and an enthralling cultural experiÂence. During this weeklong trek, you’ll witness a way of life unequivocally different from our own – one that has been handed down through centuries of Ait Atta civilization. Travelling at the gentle pace of the nomads and their flock of goats, sheep, mules and dromedaries, we follow a trail over rocky passes, crossing bright oases and camping in wilderness locations. Walking for 4 – 5 hours per day, there’s plenty of time to enjoy the landscape.
- In this one-of-a-kind experience, become part of the biannual migration of nomadic Ait Atta tribespeople – a tradition that has taken place through Morocco’s Atlas Mountains for over 4000 years
- Spend the week with a Berber family, getting to know them personally, walking the same routes as them and learning some basic Arabic to interact the local way.
- Experience ancient nomadic culture at its heart and participate in daily chores such as milking goats, tending animal herds and setting up and packing down the campsite with your small group.
- Enjoy delicious, freshly prepared Moroccan food at your camp each day and pick up some traditional cooking methods that have been used in these lands for thousands of years.
- Wander the vibrant souqs, embracing the sights, sounds and smells of Marrakech on a guided walking tour, and dine on specialities such as tagine in the lively Djemaa el-Fna square.
