What's included in the price?

Hotel pickup and drop-off, professional driver, lunch at Dar Tassa, beverages (mint tea and coffee), argan oil cooperative visit, camel ride, and guided village walk. Entrance fees to the souk (if visiting Tuesday) are not specified; confirm with the operator.

Is this trip suitable for families with children?

Yes. The camel ride, bread-making workshop, and village exploration appeal to kids. The pace is relaxed, though younger children may need breaks during the walk. Discuss age and mobility concerns with your operator when booking.

Can I do this trip if I have dietary restrictions?

Yes, but you must notify the operator in advance. Vegetarian meals can be arranged; other restrictions (gluten-free, vegan, allergies) should be discussed before booking to ensure Dar Tassa can accommodate.

How long is the drive from Marrakesh?

The total journey is 8 hours including stops and activities. Driving time to Asni Valley is approximately 1.5–2 hours; return via Moulay Brahim and Lalla Takerkoust lake adds another 1.5–2 hours. Most time is spent at activities and viewpoints.

What if I visit on a day other than Tuesday?

You'll still visit the argan oil cooperative and all other activities (camel ride, bread-making, lunch, village walk). The Souk of Tahouanout operates only on Tuesdays, so you'll miss that opportunity on other days.

Do I need to bring anything special?

Wear comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and a hat. Bring a light jacket for cooler mountain air, especially in winter. Cash (Moroccan dirhams) is useful for optional purchases. A camera is recommended for the valley views and village scenes.

About this activity

Escape Marrakesh for an immersive 8-hour journey into Morocco's Anti-Atlas foothills, visiting traditional Berber villages, argan oil cooperatives, and mountain valleys. Experience authentic rural life through camel rides, bread-making workshops, and home-cooked meals in a family-run guesthouse.

A professional driver will pick you up early in the morning from your hotel to make you live a typical experience through exciting landscapes.

One the road, we will have a short break in the small village of Tahanouat in order to visit a cooperative of Argan oil and if you are making this trip on Tuesday you will have the chance to visit the weekly Souk of Tahouanout. Then we will cross the amazing Ghiraya gorges to reach the famous Asni valley where you can have a second break to enjoy a camel ride tour, take photos or just a cup of mint tea by the riverside before going to Dar Tassa, a beautiful Berber guest house ideally located in the heart of a charming Doaur having the same name 'Doaur Tassa'.

We will join a short demonstration of Tanourt in order to learn how to prepar the Berber bread, then we will have lunch on the panoramic terraces of Dar Tassa while enjoying a unique and magic view on the small valley of Tassa Ouirgane.

Finally, we will join a local tour guide for a walk inside Tassa Ouirgane village before going back to Marrakech trough the road of Moulay Brahim and the
kik plateau and we will have a final stop in lalla Takerkoust lake for a coffee break. Return to Marrakech.

our guide Ingrid had so many stories and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight ... For our anniversary so it wasnt too busy. Fine even with my dodgy knee, and came away with 200+ photos, and good as a half-day option, and 6 stops in about 3 hours. Would book again no question.

our guide Wei was brilliant and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight, and blew our Marrakech one out of the water.
