Description
Hi,
I am Mohamed Aztat, an official mountain & desert tour guide. I am Berber and originally from Imlil region. I have been leading treks in the High Atlas for over a decade, and have worked as a tour guide, muleteer and cook for various UK tour companies over the years.
I am a graduate of the mountain school at Tabant and co-founder of a travel agency. I have won many accolades from the UK media, include Condé Nast, the Guardian, Lonely Planet and the BBC.
I have chosen Ouirgane in the Atlas Mountains, to create a serene place where people can connect to nature and themselves. Our project aims to promote ecotourism in our region and benefit the local population .
The place is located in the foothills of Morocco’s High Atlas mountains. It’s a breathtaking location with stunning sceneries .
Our Ouirgane Ecolodge is on 4000 m2 embedded in a lush nature, an idyllic place to live a unique experience of scenery and serenity.
The architecture of the places goes in harmony with nature and the mountains,it is combining stones, Mud,bricks and wood, which brings character and charm, in the spirit of a traditional village.
Welcome to Ouirgane. We look forward to helping you love it here as much as we do.
