There is a local market & shops about 10 minutes drive away but we advise stopping en route from Marrakech airport at Carrefour, an excellent supermarket to stock up on supplies, especially alcohol which is not readily available. For transfers to & from the airport, we can recommend our good friend Ismail who runs Belmandani Tours& he & his competent drivers & modern Mercedes Viano Vito vehicles can be relied on to get you to & from villa in & around Marrakech or further afield to explore Morocco to the full.

The moods of the mountains are constantly changing ranging from the snow topped peaks in the winter months through to massive thunderstorms with great flashes of lightening, from the bright green of spring to the deep reds of the summers. The earth coloured Berber villages nestling into the mountainsides are barely visible to the naked eye but they are all around clustered onto the steepest slopes. The Berber people themselves are incredibly friendly & delightful. Make friends with them & you will be invited into their homes to meet their families & learn about their lives. But why restrict yourselves to just one area, break your visit into two destinations & spend time in the bustle of Marrakech or by the seaside at Essouira or Meknes the fertile area that produces fruit, vegetables, wine & roses. Or even visit the desert & take a camel ride & spend time in a Berber tent. There is so much to try and discover in this amazing country.
