Tour Overview
INTRODUCTION
A day in the foothills of the high atlas : around amizmiz (whole day)
Travelling south from Marrakech across the Marrakech Plain to the rural settlement of Amizmiz takes approximately 1 hour. But once in Amizmiz, Marrakech feels like it could be a million miles away.
In Amizmiz and its surroundings life is very traditional. Amizmiz is a rural market town with much everyday activity as well as added market day activity too once a week. An easy stroll around the settlement and into the surrounding rural landscapes shows the traditional farming methods still in use and the crops grown. .
