Welcome to Morocco.\u00a0Marrakech is a feast for the senses, a world of spice markets, Berber music, carpets, delectable foods, acrobats and perfumed gardens.\u00a0You can arrive at any time today as there are no activities planned until your group meeting at 5pm.\u00a0If you have an arrival transfer booked, please look for a representative with an Intrepid Travel sign when you arrive at the airport.\r\n\r\nYour hotel is located just outside the city walls around the old Medina. It is about a 30-minute walk to the main square, Djemaa el Fna (or a short calesh\/taxi ride). It's also near a lot of local shops and restaurants. Settle in and relax."},{"title":"Aroumd","content":"Today's adventure begins with a drive over the impressive High Atlas Mountains to the village of Imlil (approx 2 hours), the largest village in the Mizane Valley. You will store your main luggage here, before continuing on foot (1 hour) to the traditional mountain village of Aroumd with your daypack. If you don't feel comfortable with the walk, your leader can arrange a mule for you to ride instead.\r\n\r\nPerched on a rocky outcrop, the remote village of Aroumd offers stunning views across the High Atlas Mountains and a unique opportunity to experience traditional Berber culture. We spent 1 night in a family-run mountain home (gite) in Aroumd. Surrounded by the smell of woodstoves and bread, meet the host family and enjoy Berber hospitality and food.\r\n\r\nNOTE: The walk from Imlil to Aroumd and further to the Sidi Chamharouch shrine requires appropriate footwear. You may choose to bring sturdy boots if you prefer so, but pair of good walking shoes with rigid and grippy sole will be sufficient."},{"title":"Taroudant","content":"
