A propos de cette activité

My name is Said Hamil and I am the owner and guide of Berbere Atlas Experience, a young company based in Marigha in the Ouirgane valley, about 65 kilometers south-west of Marrakesh. We are specialized in hiking and trekking and other activities in the area, and we as well organize tours to the Sahara. We would like to invite you to discover breathtaking landscapes and get familiar with the Berber culture and some traditions and enjoy their warmhearted hospitality. Our guides are English and French-speaking locals, who will turn your stay in Morocco into an unforgettable experience. A choice of our activities you may find here! If you would like to experience the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara in one trip - please talk to us! We will arrange an individual package according to your wishes. Hikes and mule treks can also be offered for a half day. So if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to make it easy for you!

      Cooking Class in the Atlas Mountains

      Restrictions

      • Moroccan cuisine is sometimes called the best cuisine of the world. This is due to the variety of spices and a lot of fresh ingredients. It is a combination of Berber, African, Arabian and Mediterranean cuisine

      • We will prepare our dishes in a family home in Tassa Ouirgane, a Berber village in the mountains, on 1100m altitude, at the entrance to the Toubkal National Parc. Here you also have the opportunity to see how to make the traditional berber bread called Tanourt, attend a tea ceremony and have a look at the wheat mill of the village

      • To come to Tassa Ouirgane, either mules are waiting for us and will take us all way up to the village in about 1 ½ hours, or you just walk. This is according to your choice. After lunch we will start our way back walking to the Ouirgane / Marigha area, along the gardens

          How to make a Boucherouite Carpet Berber Experience with Knotting Workshop

          Restrictions

          • The embroidery is made by skill in the choice and consistency of colors and eventually becomes a painting with a different expression that expresses the life and traditions of a given region or tribe. They are decorated with simple geometric shapes such as triangle, rectangle, and rectangle as well as squares.

          • The Moroccan Berber people „Amazigh“ are known for their colorful cotton carpets. They all are hand made from cotton strips, laid out in the living rooms and they are also used to sleep on. These carpets are very tough in use (when you do it like the Moroccans and take your shoes off!), can be washed and dried in the sun

          • In this workshop, you have the opportunity to knot your own, tiny carpet in a Berber family home, with Fatima. She will explain everything (I will translate of course), and at the end of the day, you can take your own little Boucharouite carpet with you.

          • This workshop takes place in Tassa Ouirgane. You can either walk or ride on a mule, about 1,5 hours from your accommodation in the Ouirgane area. When you come from Marrakech, the taxi will take you directly to the village. Material is included in the price, and also prepared, so you can start immediately.

          • If you are in a group, this workshop can also be combined with our 'Berber Experience with Cooking Class', so maybe everybody finds his favorite activity.
