Nous sommes revenus émus et comblés de cette excursion avec Lamine! Tout d’abord merci à Lamine qui est un guide profondément gentil, très cultivé, discret mais très disponible: bref aux petits soins! Nous étions un couple avec notre fille de 18 mois et nous avons été impressionnés par sa conduite très souple, prudente … en toute confiance entre désert et petits chemins de l’Atlas! Organisation parfaite! Nous avons été récupérés devant notre porte dans la médina. Émus de cette journée qui fait du bien aux 5 sens! Vous en prenez plein la vue: de la beauté brute et dorée-ocre du désert d’Agafay, aux paysages infinis! quand soudain, apparaissent les montagnes enneigées de l’Atlas derrière le désert et c’est absolument sublime! Un paysage qui émerveille les yeux et l’âme! Puis vous montez vers la grandeur et la beauté de l’Atlas après avoir vu briller le bleu d’un lac. L’ascension dans les montagnes est époustouflante…vous passez de l’aridité mystérieux du désert à une nature qui devient verte et luxuriante pour vous arrêter dans un village ravissant berbère avec une vue incroyable et une hospitalité rare familiale. La descente est tout aussi incroyable avec des tons rouges, gris, bleus et des roches naturelles flamboyantes. Bref grand coup de cœur pour cette journée qui restera gravée dans nos souvenirs et rêves! Un délice de paix et de paysages rares après le bruit de Marrakech. Pour nous cela restera la clé de voûte de notre voyage. Merci! Époustouflant Maroc! Merci Lamine et ravis d’avoir fait confiance à Arib voyage! Astrid et Adrien et leur mini!
