enjoy easy trek through Rose valley

Unforgettable easy trek through the rose fields and kasbahs 8 days.

An itinerary that allows you to discover one of the most beautiful valleys in Morocco, the M'Goun Valley, better known as the Valley of the Roses. You will be amazed by the contrast between the arid mountains and the lush gardens carpeted in the bottom of the valleys on the banks of the river. This region of the Atlas has remained timeless and you will discover all the richness of the Berber culture that has remained intact. 
You will hike from village to village following the river, accompanied by a muleteer who knows the trails perfectly. Always welcomed with happiness by the 



inhabitants, you will sleep in typical mud casbahs built in adobe and share culinary specialities. An unforgettable experience!

From Boutaghar, you descend the Valley of the Roses through small traditional adobe villages, orchards (fig trees, almond trees, olive trees, apple trees, walnut trees...), wheat or corn fields. This green valley, irrigated by a very elaborate canal system, contrasts with the arid mountains around it. A very fragrant variety of rosehips is cultivated here, which is used, among other things, to produce a famous rose water.

NB: walking times are given as an indication, and calculated for average walkers without breaks and time taken for the picnic.
A = Ascent. D = Downhill.
 
Rose Festival
Many roses are planted at the edge of the fields for use in perfumery; Morocco is one of the main suppliers of rose oil for the French perfume industry. The Damascus rose, Rosa damascena, was reportedly introduced to Morocco by pilgrims returning from Damascus.
Between mid-April and mid-May, the landscape is filled with famous petals. An exquisite and delicate smell, slightly peppery, then invades the valley. Before the flower of love fades, the villagers harvest the petals...
For a long time, the valley has celebrated the end of the harvest with a colourful festival. On the first weekend of May, it is one of the most popular moussems in the country.
For three days, on the the first week of May, the region is experiencing a very special festive atmosphere. The rose capital, El-Kelaa M'Gouna, then lived to the rhythm of traditional dances, chariot parades, craft exhibitions, souks in which the Aït Atta, Berber nomads, came to make their last purchases before settling for summer in the High Atlas mountains. The election of a "Miss Roses" closes the festival.
