Amazing cultural experience!
The Azzaden Valley tour was perfect! We chose the cooking class and it was incredible - we learned to make tagine and couscous from scratch. The guide was excellent and the 2-hour trek through the villages was beautiful. The flexibility to choose our activities made it perfect for our group. Highly recommend adding the hotel option for the full experience!
