Berber music, dervishes, snake tights, street food either delicious or... very unusual :) , souvenirs and lots of people, that's how we could define the atmosphere of the market that has become part of the UNESCO cultural heritage for its preservation. We try to retire to one of the nearby rooftops after a dip in the crowd, where we enjoy a cup of tea or Arabic coffee. The next destination is a familiar one: the highest peak of the Atlas Mountains, the Tubkal peak rising 4167 metres above the entire north of the African continent! We dedicate two days to the ascent, punctuated by an overnight stay at 3200m altitude. Conditions are friendly to high altitude hikers and the summit hike is a sustained one, but free of technical alpine difficulties. At most the altitude itself can buzz us with its less pleasant symptoms. The ascent of Toubkal is optional, for those who wish to stay at the refuge after the nearby hike the programme is a light one, relaxing in the unpolluted air of the Atlas Mountains. The tour continues with the famous Dades Valley and its impressive canyon and, of course, the sand dunes of the Sahara that we have been dreaming of since we were at home! We drive to Merzouga and board our camels for a little over an hour of traversing the sand dunes to the Berber campsite that will be our overnight host and place to welcome the sunrise. We'll sleep the next night right in the desert, yes! The last highlight of the tour is probably the most adrenalized: we're going rafting, of course :))) Who knew that in the heart of the Atlas Mountains raging rivers make their way through red rock walls! The experience is a special one, gradual in difficulty and optional in turn. We say goodbye to our rafting hosts where we have slept one night and return to Marrakech for our flight home. I would like to come but I have no rafting, mountain or desert experience! It's okay, we have us :)Easy
