Program Details:
- This day trip from Marrakech takes you to the heart of the cradle of the Almohad dynasty, promising a fabulous experience.
- Leaving the Red City, you'll head into the High Atlas Mountains, passing through villages and towns to reach Ouirgane in the Red Valley of Azzaden. Here, the River Nfiss flows into a dammed lake, continuing on to feed another lake downstream, where a hydroelectric power station stands.
- Â The journey takes around 2 hours. Your journey will include a stop at the Tinmal Mosque, in the Marrakech-Safi region.
- From Ouirgane, you will follow the road along the river that meanders deep into the Ijokak region. This is where the descendants of the Almohad dynasty live and work the land. At every turn, you'll discover adobe and Berber stone villages, surrounded by fruit trees and fertile fields. Rural Morocco reveals its charms to you, especially in spring when the valleys are adorned with almond blossoms. This landscape, unchanged for centuries, will immerse you in the authenticity of a bygone era. In the village of Ijokak, pottery is made from the local red clay, and you may have the opportunity to visit one of the pottery workshops.
- Further up in this atmosphere steeped in history, the road takes you to Tinmel. This 12th-century brick mosque has stood the test of time with admirable resilience. Currently being restored, it has been given a roof so that it can be used again for prayer. The Tinmal mosque is one of only two in Morocco open to non-Muslims. It retains its original features and has a splendid design. A guided tour will reveal the mosque's special features and captivating history.
