Azrou

Azrou: according to what the map showed me, azrou is not that far if you want to arrive there, just some few minutes walking by the side of road N 13 southern Meknes. The thing that seemed funny and disappointing was when we saw a road panel direction that indicated 13 Km left to reach Azrou, and we were supposed to be there by noon. Therefore we were hitchhiking while walking at the same time. Luckily a country man with a lorry full of “Berbers” picked us up; it was then exciting to have long conversation with country men who normally seem nice, trustworthy, and helpful. We snapped pictures when we were crossed by Ben Smime Town. 27 minutes on a road ride till we finally arrive to Azrou City. Azrou is a very friendly small town, mostly full of Berbers as original inhabitants who spend their evenings sitting in cafes and speaking the local Amazigh dialect. As far as I have noticed, men supposed to be in large numbers than women, as if women are still the passive elements of Berber societies. We overwhelmingly found a youth Hostel after we had got lost. Took some rests and then moved to the Southern of Azrou.

Trip Announcements

We are committed to a style of specific travels that are environmentally, culturally, and socially responsible. The fact of being thousands miles away from where home is makes us responsible for every single travelling action to be professionally experienced.
The only reason why most of our trips have been successful is the the only factor we always provide flexibility, versatility and community. We think the smaller the group, the better the experience! Therefore, we limit the numbers to less than 10 members.
Morocco has won the reputation of Tourism excellence by integrating some of the most reliable issues for better excursions and organized group trekking trips. So the credibility of our organization concerning Tourism Guiding is to provide the most we can about everyone’s particular choice during our Tours.

1- THE EXCURSION TO VOLUBILIS AND MOULAY IDRISS

The Excursion is well designed to give you a tour to the nearby Roman Ruins of Volubilis, presenting many of the Roman building structures as well as the preserved monuments all around the town. There’s always something else not to be missed! The excursion contains also a visit to the first Islamic state in Morocco, Moulay Idriss.
A scene of contrasting colors of culture and history between the Roman megalomaniac buildings and a real Islamic version integrated with the way people behave to form a sort of warmth, welcoming, and eagerness to help. Back from Volubilis, we will offer an interesting highlights in a tour visit, FOR FREE, to the Imperial city of Meknes, leading the way directly inside the Medina labyrinthine windy streets with a traditional tea at the end on an open air square.

2- The Excursion to the National Park of Tlassemtane- AKCHOR

There’s no need to rough it to simply have a real life experience. Most of our organized group trips and excursions are well designed for these particular cases to have a comfort adventures in the style of a real life experience over one of the most gorgeous National Parks in Morocco, the National Park of Tlassemtane including the exotic area of Akchor.

Perhaps the most remarkable thing is that despite our growth, our philosophy on travel hasn’t changed one bit. We still believe that the best way to experience something new for our travelers is to get close to it and experience it by all their means.
As nice as you can ever imagine, most of us get to travel as much as we’d like to! It is very important, however, to make most of your journeys having the brand of an incredible life experience. Before making any prompt decision, I personally would like to inform you about how a rough but extraordinary experience that might be the first to be tried! Frankly, we have been thanked many times from our travelers about this!
The code we are sharing in most of our trips is the fantastic value of money, what you’ll get from our trip is actually more than just a great priced adventure. The real life experience travelling attitude is inextricably reconciled with the local knowledge and to familiarize yourself to the culture you’re experiencing. Then, you’ll eat in restaurants not particularly found in your trusted guide books, stay in accommodations that really capture the spirit of the place with the sound of springs as a pillow, you’ll join local people in their buses, shop in their markets, and sometimes being warmly invited in their homes. I can promise you that our travelling special attitude will take you home with many unforgettable pictures about visiting Morocco.

3- A Trekking Trip in The Middle Atlas Mountain

An alternative excursion to break the humdrum stressed life by official young Tourist Guides with the assistance of Youth Hostel Organization in Morocco.
The trip Is particularly focused on trekking activities and most specifically discovering opportunities around the richest touristic sector that our welcoming tourists will be guided to. This trekking trip, around the exotic and rough Middle atlas mountains’ terrain, Is four days maximum and involves many activities during the full single day such as mountain scrambling or walkups, a visit to start getting yourself very much familiar with the birdlife including the Grey Heron, Cattle Egret, the sound of hidden Reed, and Fan-Tailed Warbler. A wildlife that Is full of Barbary Apes (Chimpanzees) that are specifically located in the Cedar Forests in the Northern Middle Atlas (as far as I know they never hurt anyone unless if someone throws stones). For those who love horse ridings, we already make sure and will manage to arrange comfortable riding trips to some valleys, little height mountains and hillocks so that you can enjoy the panoramic view of the Middle Atlas.
You might pause to think about if there are not any such lakes or rivers in this area where you’re planning to trek at. Hopefully the South of Azrou town lies most of the wonderful countrysides with splendid and impressive rivers and lakes (just few of them are sporadically dry). Moreover, the source of Morocco’s largest river that is full of springs, waterfalls, and cascades of Oum er Rbia, where you can be astonished by the real natural life surrounding you. People with much Skiing experiences can have chances to practice the snowboarding sport in snowy edged hills. Discovering some new sources like mountain caves is the ultimate objective that most of tourists feel enthusiastic to cope with the natural life so far. Therefore, there is also a visit of four hours to some natural deep caves if you are very much interested in similar things. Just make sure you won’t miss this rare wonderful trekking trip while visiting Morocco!!
