This program will allow us to spend two days at the home of a real Berber family! Starting from Marrakesh and along the roads of the Atlas we will arrive at the ancient village of Telouet, famous for its Kasbah and for having been a focal point for the ancient commercial caravans, which from Timbuktu arrived in Marrakesh. We will then head to Ait Ben Haddou to discover the life, culinary recipes, uses and customs of the ancient inhabitants of North Africa. A unique opportunity to break the daily routine, go back in time and live an experience difficult to forget ...
