The market in Asni is exciting and Ouirgane is one of those places on Earth that makes you want to stay!
A day in the Atlas mountains is a must when visiting Marrakech. So near and yet so very different and spectacular. The drive through the winding hills and charming Berber villages is a pleasure in itself. The market in Asni operates on Saturday and is really worth the visit. You will see all sorts of things being sold there from animals vegetables to jewelry and second hand plumbing! If you do this excursion on a Tuesday you will visit the market of Tahnaoute instead.
We suggest lunch at Olinto. From there you can go for a wander by foot or a donkey ride in the peaceful countryside of the valley.
Return to Marrakech by around 4 pm.
The Lawrence of Morocco map displays the locations of the destinations and accommodation that we have selected and visited; for each item, hovering over or clicking the marker will display a short summary and photo of that place or hotel, and hotel pricing. Follow the links in the info box to the full page listing which has much more information.
Note that the online map offers both a satellite view (click satellite in the top right) and, for some locations, a street level view (Drag the person in the top left onto the map). These let you explore the country; and when you wish to explore in person, or if you have any questions about the places you see, give our staff a call, or request a quote. Our staff regularly visit the places and accommodation that we feature.
When you book a holiday with us we will provide full driving instructions for reaching your accommodation, where necessary; these can be used by yourself, or you could enjoy the luxury of a driver. Alternatively we will arrange private (car rather than coach) transfers for you; helicopter transfers are also possible for some destinations.
We really know Morocco and have had the pleasure of making many people's dream trips become reality over the years. It has been our privilege to be asked to manage holidays, weddings and productions for so many fantastic and discerning clients. We remain small and dedicated to providing excellent honest advice to enable you to sit back, relax and enjoy the fun bits without having to manage the unpredictability of this fascinating country.
If you want it done right, look no further!
