Amethyst Discovery and Berber Villages Day Trip

The most typical Ouarzazate day: an isolated Berber village among almond trees, a mule ride in search of amethyst and lunch with a family.

  • Duration: 1 day
  • Destination: Tiggert village, High Atlas foothills

Ouarzazate sits between the High Atlas and the Anti Atlas, within reach of deserts, canyons, valleys, palm groves, oases and the Berber villages nestled in the foothills of the High Atlas.

In the morning you leave by Toyota Land Cruiser for the village of Tiggert, with some off road driving. After a short tea break you ride mules with a local inhabitant to look for precious amethyst stones, then share a typical lunch with the villagers in their home.
