In Morocco, you’re already familiar with the main tourist spots, such as Marrakech and Agadir. Today, Culture Morocco Tours will introduce you to a completely different Morocco, off the beaten track.
1. Ait Bouguemez, The Happy Valley of the High Atlas
Ait Bouguemez is the name of the valley and its inhabitants, derived from the name Ait Bouammass, which in the Amazigh language means “those in the middle” or “people in the middle”, reflecting the fact that the valley lies right in the heart of the central High Atlas mountains. It has also long been known as “the happy valley”. This name was given to it by visitors to the valley who were impressed by the hospitality of its inhabitants and their joy during their festivities.
