Free Day in Ait Bougumez, Aït Bouguemez

Overview

Located in the central High Atlas Mountains east of Marrakech, Ait Bougmez Valley is unspoiled nature at its best! It's often compared to the majesty of the Himalayan Mountains, with lush orchards and green pastures surrounded by snow-capped mountain peaks. Additionally, it's quite different from the typical Moroccan imagery of barren beauty.

Enjoy exploring the valley's small towns, with their mud-brick houses scattered throughout the valley to enhance its idyllic atmosphere. You'll spend the day immersed in the heart of the valley of Ait Bougmez and its traditions in the village of Imelghas.
