The distinct charm that envelopes Marrakech and its surroundings can be embraced through a stroll along its streets. Whether for leisure or adventure, guests at the grandiose Amanjena resort can spend their days’ vacation in perfectly-arranged excursions around the mystical city.
Facilitated by experienced locals, the breezy one-and-a-half Leisurely Walk Tour begins in L’Arbaa Tirdouine, located 60 kilometers from Amanjena. A breathtaking river gorge trails from the tiny village, crossing a river as it finally escalates to stony mountain slopes that lead to another village sitting atop. The trip’s highlight unfolds as trippers get hold of a panoramic view of the surroundings.
The Kasbah Toubkal in the High Atlas Tour brings guests to the villages of Tahanaout and Asni through steep pine and cedar forests, freshwater streams, apple quince and walnut plantation, and fertile valleys. A 15-minute trail to the Kasbah Toubkal past lush chestnut trees is worth it, thanks to the stunning views it takes hikers to. The Kasbah, Berber for fortress, has Jbel Toubkal as its backdrop-North Africa’s highest peak. Villagers practice traditional Berber hospitality as they welcome guests in their terrace with dates and almond milk before lunch and an overwhelming view of the mountain range comes in sight as well.
