Atlas Mountain Walking Retreat - Zamzam Riad Marrakech Hotel

On the 3rd day we set off early to avoid the Marrakech Marathon. We were in the heart of the Atlas Mountains by 9.15am. The mountains were stunning with their snowy peaks but the air was surprisingly warm. We started off with a morning meditation together which was wonderful as the room had underfloor heating which helped the meditation nicely. We all felt the energy of being in these ancient mountains.

We set off on a two hour walk around Berber Villages and waterfalls. It was exhilarating and otherworldly.
Once back to the Kasbah we were offered Rose water to wash our hands and fresh dates. We walked up the stairs to the wonderful terrace with a spectacular view of the Atlas, where we had a delicious lunch of salads with fig and lamb tagine. The lunch was served with fresh spring water from the Atlas!

During the walk which was huge fun, two crazy retreaters stripped off and jumped in the ice cold water! Journey of Awakening it definitely was.
