30km away from Fes is Sefrou (take a shared 'grand taxi' from Bab Ftouh), where Berbers come from outlying areas to ply their wares at the Thursday souq.

The same distance away from Marrakech, lies the town of Ourika (Dar Caid Ourika) which comes alive on Monday with everything from Berber haircuts to giant haystacks for sale. You can take a bus from behind the tourist police in Marrakech.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27832 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26022
I really recommend everything about the trip - the riad, the city and most of all Frui, who went the extra mile to make our trip fantastic!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26022 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25045 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25045 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10455 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10455 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10428 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10428 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10403
If you do want a map, the Rough Guide to Marrakech is by far the best around.

Don’t hurry or worry, expect the culture shock and accept the offers of mint tea sans sugar.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10403 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7835 Built in adobe, wood and natural materials according to traditional building techniques, it’s a small environment-friendly structure set in the wonderful area of the M’Goun Range, the villages of the Bougmez Valley, and offers a high level of comfort, which is awesome in such an area.

After a long walk, it’s really pleasant to relax in the traditionnal taddelakt hammam. And from the roof terraces at night, you can see thousands of stars… Dar Itrane also has a wide library focusing on the Berber Culture.

It’s a good base to go and explore the close traditional villages of the valley, meet the locals or go trekking to the Azourki or the M’Goun Summit, for example.

The team at Dar Itrane is really friendly; they always cook delicious Moroccan dishes and are happy to introduce you to their way of living in the High Atlas.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7835
