Lovely Berber villages to see, a meal in the restaurant where you can put your feet in the stream while you eat if you want, and there were even monkeys on the walk! Great experience and I would do it again, just remember to wear trainers and comfortable clothes e.g shorts. Also stopped off at a pottery shop, Argan oil shop and rug shop to see how they were made.Trail25374199575
