It suits travellers who want a broader mix of history, culture and scenery.

What is the Berber family visit like?
The visit gives you the chance to sit down for mint tea and conversation in a local home, learning about rural mountain life directly from the family who hosts you.
It is a genuine cultural exchange rather than a staged performance.
What should I wear at religious and cultural sites?
Modest clothing covering shoulders and knees is appreciated at mosques and other religious or cultural sites, including the Hassan II Mosque.
