Things to do
The High Atlas Mountains’ Berber villages are a very good avenue for discovering Morocco’s native Amazigh culture firsthand. These settlements are placed between the mountains and the fertile valleys, and the distinguishing features of these places are their houses built with stone and adobe, their plowed fields constructed in steps, and the areas used for the village common activities. The main activities in the villages are growing crops, taking care of the livestock, and producing local art and craft, which are all done in a way that still reflects the ancient rhythm. They are very welcoming people, and you can have a taste of their food and also do trekking in the beautiful nature while getting to know the culture and customs of the High Atlas Berbers.
