Very interesting holiday with a good mix of city sites and fabulous walks.
Arriving at the beautiful lake on the fourth walk. Amazing views and a wonderful sense of tranquility.
Yahya was wonderful in every way.
Check out the weather in advance of your departure and bring extra warm layers.
Thanks for a fabulous holiday.
The contrasts were amazing, the hustle and bustle and noise of Marakesh compared to the calm, peace and quiet in Tighza.
Everyday the brilliant blue sky for us sun starved Brits!The food - tasty, varied and plentiful, the porridge kept us going in the mornings. The scenery in the mountains and learning a little of the hard life of the villagers, which has changed litle in 500 years. The people we met were unfailingly cheerful and friendly.
Hassan was great. He was kind, patient and gentle. Very happy to answer our questions which he must have heard a million times before. He worked very hard and only seemed to be off duty when we were asleep. He was encouraging on the walks too. A real treasure!Mohammed gave us a very interesting tour of Marrakesh.The cook at the gite was great, we specially welcomed the hot tea and food on our picnics.
Hot water bottle to get you off to sleepPillows and blankets provided, we were always warm at night sleeping in thermals. Couples had their own room which was a bonus.No shoes in the dining area so good idea to take thick socks. As others have said it really does get cold up in the mountains you do need thermals and fleeces, hats and gloves. The puddles were frozen when we were walking. Andrex wipes useful for a 'wash' in the morning, and slip on shoes to go to the shower - ones you can wear socks with. Blisteze seemed to be the best for preventing chapped lips. Also soluble vitamin C tablets to make the treated water more drinkable.
This was such a great holiday. We always felt safe, everything was well organised too. Maybe we were lucky as our group of 16 got on very well. It is so interesting hearing other travellers tales.It is not a restful holiday, although they do say a change is as good as a rest. We were on the go most of the time and ready for bed by 9.30! The walks were quite challenging, especially the last 32km walk, which involved lots of walking on stones as well as the climbing. Some people in the group chose not to do it. The 3 walks were graded to build up our stamina, though I would say you have to be reasponably fit to enjoy them. We found walking poles invaluable.The scenery is stunning, amazing. Coming back to Marrakesh didn't feel a scary as it did on the first day and we enjoyed the souks and eating freshly cooked food at market stalls in the square.If you want to shop then I recommend getting 'Shopping in Marrakesh' by Susan Simon. it is a lovelybook in its own right , describing various shops, with photographs of each one. I got it from Amazon and it is very useful, explaining where you can buy different things , giving walking maps and recommending reliable traders. The ladies in the group loved it! Last of all check the website for the latest ideas of what the villagers need most at the time you are going. I know it takes time, but they have so little...........................We came back feeling envigorated and refreshed, and would really like to visit Morocco again.
A week of contrasts – the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh with the peace and simplicity of the gite and walks in the mountains.
In Marrakesh -supper on the Jemaa El fna, and the sound of the call to prayer from the mosques. In the mountains - the almond blossom, playing football with a few local village children,the group supper in the gite tasting great after the walks, arriving at the lake for delicious lunch, and the achievement of comleting the 32km mountain walk.
Quiet at times, but he seemed much more at home in the mountains where his sense of humour came out and he seemed more relaxed. Knowledgeable when you asked questions about Morocco. Felt safe with his leadership in the mountains.
We decided that there's no need to buy water sterilising tabs, as they're expensive to buy and it would've been cheaper to just buy the water from the gite!Be ready to "rough" it ! Basic accommodation, but all you need. Just take plenty of warm layers to wear in the evenings. A few snacks for the walks come in handy, and the local children appreciate gifts of pens/ balloons.Be prepared for rocky paths and steep gradients at times. Decent walking boots are a must. Lightweight clothes that cover arms/legs for women seems more appropriate in Marrakesh. Arranging our own flights independently worked out cheaper and Exodus kindly provided free transfer from the airport to the hotel.
A great week! Book it and enjoy !!
Exodus recommends taking water sterilising tablets because there is a serious problem with recycling in Morocco and most of the plastic bottles left in the village are burnt.
I had a lovely holiday, the people in my group were very friendly, the group leader was excellent, but there were a few disapointment and I don’t think I will go back to marocco but I am sure I will travel with exodus again.
My group leader was the rigth person for the trip, his knowledge was very good he could always answer our quiston, but on my first day in Marakesh we had a different person guiding as thorugh the city if I am right his name was Mohamed. His knowledge wasn't very good about the town, I have read more in my guide book about Marakesh than he told me, mostly he was talking about politics whish I wasn't interested at all I woulod have liked to hear more about history. I would advice exodus not to use him as he was a disapointment.
I wasn't very happy with the airline, we had an 8 hour delay and we were not told what is going on unless we looked for someone and asked, we have been driven for a meal to a hotel were we got left alone and the staff wanted to send us somewhere else. Nobody knew what was going on.
The scenery was wonderful, the weather perfect and the company good. A very enjoyable holiday, I came back feeling fit and healthy!
There was not any particular moment as every day was different. Marrakech was colourful noisey and fun, the walks were great
He was quiet reiable and set a sensible walking pace that meant everyone was able to do all the walks.
Go for it!
don't forget to check out the night sky but wear warm clothes!
This holiday fulfilled all our expectations. One of the things we were unsure of before we left was what the weather would be like in the mountains at the very end of December, but we were lucky. It was just perfect for walking – bright and sunny every day but not too hot. At night it did get very chilly and we needed our warm sleeping bags.
The village in the mountains was in a beautiful location, and after the terrible traffic and fumes in Marrakech (outside the medina) the contrast was striking. There were no traffic sounds and just absolute peace, with a barking dog and the occasional sound of the call to prayer being all that disturbed it. The fact that the village has only had electricity for the last fouryears means that the traditional way of life (subsistence farming and little dependence on technology) still continues, but for how much longer, one wonders. The walks were spectacular and we were spurred on by the sight of Abdullah, our cook, overtaking us on his mule each day carrying our lunch, and what a lunch it was! He made tea and a couple of hot dishes served with salad and bread, followed by tangerines which we ate seated on cushions around a rug in a well chosen spot by a stream or lake.
Mohammed, our group leader, was a young man in his twenties who looked after us beautifully. He would always sing exuberantly when we reached a high spot in the walk. We loved his berber cloaks which he lent out to anyone feeling a bit chilly.
You really do need warm things and plenty of layers in winter - for the early mornings and the evenings. There is plenty of bottled water available, but the water in the village boiled for tea is fine and, although I do often get a stomach bug when in strange countries, none of us had any problems. We had an alcohol free week (even New Year's Eve!), because there is no alcohol in the village and none of us had thought to bring any from Marrakech, but surprisingly enough, we didn't miss it (too much).
We really liked the food - it was simple and healthy, with plenty of vegetables and not too much meat or fat. The cook in the gite was fantastic.
A great mix of sightseeing and walking. Stunning scenery and amazing food!
Watching the sunset over the mountains from the gite.
Friendly and knowledgable
Don't hesitate - just book it!
