You’ll also visit Lalla Takerkoust Lake—an important reservoir for Marrakech—where you can learn about the region’s efforts in water management and sustainability. The lake, formed by a dam, provides both water and electricity to Marrakech, making it a crucial part of the area’s infrastructure.
Continuing through the scenic Nafis Valley, you’ll pass charming Berber villages before arriving at a local Berber family’s home. Here, you can experience authentic hospitality and enjoy a traditional lunch, gaining deeper insight into their daily lives and culture.
