- Morroco Marrakesh Discovery & Mt. Toubkal Hike


In this moment,
I am entwined 
in the vine of love
In this moment
I have abandoned care 
for consequence

Oh humans,
I’m no longer one of you

The bravest men won’t dare come near my heart
Mad men run away at the sight of my passion

I make love to death
Nothingness is my companion
Even cleverness is upset with me
It tried to frighten me,
it misjudged its opponent

I accept I am a prisoner of this world
But I am here, the prison is there
Tell me, whose belongings have I stolen?

Come live where I reside
My home is beyond this and that
What need have I for a mind?
I have destroyed my thoughts
and burnt my worries


Something Other has my attention
What need have I for a heart?
Blood of the Beloved
is running through my veins
​
​I am life itself

About The Retreat

Welcome to Morocco of North Africa!
Marrakesh / Mountain range of Toubkal
In the Berber language, "the people here" are the Imazighen, "free men" who live in harmony with nature.
A hike on the foothills of the giant Toubkal to discover the daily life of the Berbers and their ancestral culture
- a deep attachment to the land, a sense of the sacred, of hospitality
- a people who perpetuate a heritage inseparable from the identity of Morocco. 


Fixed Date Group:
- 2020 July 3rd to 8th
- 2020 Oct 1st to 6th 
Itinerary

Day 1: Marrakesh

Welcome at the airport; transfert to the city;
​installation at a 4-star hotel near the city centre.


Half day Marrakech city discovery walk,
médina, Djemaa el-Fna square, palais Bahia, tombeaux saadiens, with an English speaking city guide.

Then,
welcome dinner at a ryad, near the square.
Djemaa el-Fna, however, is towards the place that we must be, where the heart of Marrakech beats.

With exotic scents and precious fabrics, both a tourist "spot" and a lookout for bricks worn down by time.

Djemaa el-Fna Square, listed as a UNESCO World Oral Heritage Site, is the meeting place for snake watchmen, "watchmen" of the world, dazzled backpackers, farmers who came down from the Atlas Mountains amazed by this world so different for them, and traders who pile up on their trailers dates, figs and grains of sun in strange mountains.

Accommodation hotel 4 stars
Ground transfer 20 minutes + 20 minutes 


Day 2: Marrakech - Ourika - Setti Fatma - les sept cascades

Quiet transfer by minibus to the Ourika valley.
Installation at the accommodation.

For lunch,
it is the perfect opportunity to enjoy one of the restaurants by the river, and to taste the famous local Berber tajine, accompanied by salad and mint tea.

The Ourika Valley is the Marrakechi's favourite day out;
people come here to relax and enjoy the tagine, especially on weekends,
and even more so in summer when they go up to take a break.

Short minibus transfer to the top of the valley, Setti Fatma.
Walk to discover the waterfalls that make the place famous.


Accommodation guest house
Ground transfer 1 h 30
Walking time 2 to 3 hours Up: 200 m Down: 200 m. 
​

Day 3: Ourika - Oukaimedem (2600 m) - tizi n’Aidi (2980 m) - Tachedirt (2300 m)

The minibus takes us to Oukaimeden
(the only ski resort in the Atlas, at an altitude of 2600 m).
Discovery of the neolithic rock engravings of the plateau.

Lunch in one of the village's restaurants;
here again, the Berber tajine is a must!

After passing at the foot of the Ouka chairlift (as the initiates say),
winding up to the tizi n'Aït Aidi; from the pass,
a beautiful view of the villages of Imlil (Aït Mizane).

The slopes of Toubkal appear, surrounded by 4,000-metre peaks.
Descent by a good winding path to Tachedirt where we settle for the night.


Accommodation guest house
Walking time 4 to 5 hours Up: 380 m Down: 680 m. 


Day 4: Tachedirt - tizi n’Tamatert (2279 m) - Imlil (1800 m) 

Today's hike is an opportunity to immerse ourselves in the agricultural traditions of the Berber mountain people. The irrigated terraces rise very high on the slopes of the valley.

The upper canal (targa) forms an almost rectilinear boundary between the brown of the mountain and the green of the crops;
villages are built above it so as not to lose any acres of fertile land.

Descent to the villages of Tamguiste, Ouaneskra, Tinghrine.
Crossing the wadi to attack the ascent to the tizi n'Tamatert.

If you want and are in good shape, the ascent to Aourir n'Ouassif (2724 m, 400 m of additional vertical drop, positive and negative) is a pleasant addition to this day, providing a magnificent view over several valleys and many villages clinging to the mountainside.


Crossing a pine forest of Aleppo to reach the ryad above Imlil,
where we settle for two nights.

Accommodation ryad
Walking time 4 to 5 hours Up: 400 m Down: 850 m. 


Day 5:  Imlil - tizi m’Zik (2490 m) - Imlil

Breakfast on the terrace,
facing the Toubkal mountains.
Then departure for a day of hiking.
After crossing several villages, a clear path leads to a pass, the tizi (local name) n'Zik, at nearly 2,500 meters. Very beautiful view of the Imlil


Valley, Oukaïmedem, Tizi Oussem Valley;
the contrast between the green valleys and the arid mountains that dominate them is striking.

Lunch is taken at or near the pass.
A mule carries the necessary items for the picnic,
and the cook takes care of everything to make this last Berber lunch an unforgettable experience.

Possibility to climb on the hills above the pass for a superb view of the two valleys. Return to ryad in the middle of the afternoon.

Accommodation ryad
Walking time 4 to 5 hours Up: 450 m Down: 450 m.


Day 6: Imlil - surrounding villages - Marrakech

​Discover the surrounding villages up to Aremd,
at the end of the trail and starting point of the path to go to Toubkal.
Return to the ryad for a last Berber lunch.

We enjoy the last moments in the mountains on the terrace of the ryad, with a mint tea and some local cakes.

Then, transfer to Marrakech where we arrive by mid afternoon..
Group Dismiss in Marakech.

Walking time 2 to 3 hours Up: 200 m Down: 200 m.
