Elhoussain is a Very nice person, very welcoming with great values. We had great exchanges, he is very keen on answering all of our questions.
First, we went to a “real” souk (small and local), we also stoped at a women’s cooperative of Argan and to a local pottery shop.
Then it was time for the hick, we went with 2 friends with different abilities to climb the Atlas. Elhoussain had a back up plan with his driver (very nice too and a good driver) for those who can’t climb, but we didn’t need it. When we arrived at his childhood village, he took us to his mother’s house and she cooked lunch for us with his sister in front of the atlas.
We have to say that we were surprised by their kindness and hospitality mostly because we were in a period of ramadan, and we didn’t feel any discomfort.
After that we went to a small waterfall by the village where you can drink fresh orange juice with your feet in the water, we met the locals on our way down, it was very resourceful, far away from the noise of the city, and the landscape was amazing!
A great thing about Elhoussain that we have to point out is that he chooses not too work with the camels, even if it means less attractive tours, because he wants to show us that we can work in tourism but in a more ethical way.
We all agreed on the fact that it was one of the best encounter and activity of our trip.
I recommend to everyone who loves nature, great local food, and people
Thank you Elhoussain
