MIDDLE ATLAS OFF THE GRID EXPERIENCE

Discovering the area around Ben Smin and the Toumliline monastery, trekking through the cedar forest in the company of an official tour guide, exploring Bahlil, attending a Berber bread making workshop and having lunch in a pretty ecolodge, are just some of the ways to discover the Middle Atlas off the beaten track.

The Ben Smim surroundings are full of little-known sites for passing visitors. Its dam, its spring water, the former tuberculosis sanatorium, are all places full of history and rumors.

And what about the Toumliline monastery, a place of unmatched cultural and religious effervescence between 1948 and the 60’s.

Bahlil is also an interesting tour. Small authentic troglodyte village perched on the hillsides, its whitewashed walls and narrow alleys make ot look like a little Chefchaouen, 30 minutes from Fez. But it is also a place full of history worth discovering.

WINE YARD AND WINE TASTING EXPERIENCE

Our signature tour takes you off the beaten path, to the discovery of one of the most famous Moroccan vineyard, offering international award winning wines.

The tour includes a visit to an estate run by vinegrowers from the French Bordeaux region. After a tour of the vineyard and cellars, you will be invited to indulge on tasting red, white and rose wines from the terroir of Meknes, but also olive oil produced at the estate, and goat cheese, from Azrou.

This tour begins with a cultural visit to the archaeological site of Volubilis, followed by the discovery of the charming village of Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, shrine of Moulay Driss I, founder of the 1st Muslim dynasty in Morocco, at the end of the 8th century.

A programme combining culture and culinary delights, in the heart of the countryside, to discover more of Morocco’s assets.
