We serve mint tea and hot updates. Subscribe and sip both!
We depart from Fez and begin our journey into the Middle Atlas Mountains. The road winds through fertile plains and gradually rises into forested hills dotted with traditional Berber villages. Along the way, our local driver shares stories of Berber life, regional history, and points out notable landmarks such as village mosques, terraced fields, and ancient pathways. The scenery transforms from open plains to cedar-covered slopes, offering picturesque views and a sense of Morocco’s highland charm.
We arrive at a traditional Berber village nestled among the Atlas hills. Here, you’ll meet locals and witness daily life: women weaving carpets, artisans crafting pottery, and men tending to livestock. Enjoy freshly baked bread and aromatic mint tea in a welcoming home. Our guide explains the history of the village, its architecture, and Berber customs, giving you a full cultural immersion rather than a simple photo opportunity.
After the village visit, we explore scenic trails through cedar forests and valleys. Optional short hikes lead to panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Middle Atlas, where you may spot Barbary macaques and native birds. Along the paths, admire traditional stone houses, terraced fields, and seasonal flora. The combination of lush forests, winding trails, and mountain vistas creates countless opportunities for photography and quiet reflection.
We descend from the Atlas Mountains and return to Fez as the sun softens the contours of the hills. Along the way, reflect on a day of highland exploration, village hospitality, and the serene beauty of the Middle Atlas. You’ll arrive in Fez carrying vivid memories of Moroccan landscapes and cultural encounters.
