The fascinating Moroccan and more specifically Berber culture, is something that can not be overlooked when traveling in this country.

GETTING there
MARRAKECH AIRPORT will be your best friend! We will meet directly in the Marrakech Riad on the first day & will go the next day to the Kasbah (1 hour from Marrakech).
Meet our partner:
Jamel , Eco-kasbah owner
When Jamel saw this abandoned house and piece of land in the middle of the Atlas, his dream was to bring it alive again and to perpetuate the Berber tradition. He managed to not only renovate it, but to make it sustainable and auto-sufficient and to employ people living in the village next to it. By cooperating with Jamel, and its commitment to employ villagers we want to give back to the place that is welcome us during this Moroccan journey.
