- Is it right for your family?
- This is a walking trip for adventurous families. Although the walking is not particularly hard (mules are available for children to ride), accommodation in the Bougmez area is in very simple, traditional Berber houses with few facilities. The rewards however, more than compensate for the simple conditions. In Marrakech we use a mid-range hotel.
