Traditional Medicine & Healing Arts
7 days / 6 nights
Marrakech → Ourika → Taliouine → Taroudant → Skoura → Marrakech
A slow exploration of Morocco’s ancient pharmacopeia — where every valley has its healer, every garden its cure, and wellness begins with rhythm rather than remedy. In Morocco, medicine is an act of listening — to the body, to plants, to time. This journey crosses gardens and mountains to meet herbalists, distillers, and guardians of ancestral healing.
Day 1 – Marrakech
Begin in Marrakech with an herbalist in the Mellah. Learn the humoral principles behind Moroccan medicine — warmth, cold, dryness, moisture — and the role of scent in healing. Evening hammam ritual in a traditional bathhouse.
Day 2 – Ourika Valley
Drive to Ourika to visit the aromatic gardens where Morocco’s herbal plants are cultivated: verbena, geranium, mint, and sage. Afternoon distillation workshop — turning flowers to essence.
Day 3 – The High Atlas to Taliouine
Cross the High Atlas to Taliouine, where saffron is both spice and medicine — a nerve soother and mood brightener. Visit a cooperative and share an evening tea scented with threads of gold.
Day 4 – Talioune to Taroudant
Meet traditional healers in Taroudant who blend argan, honey, and bitter orange for healing balms. Learn how the hammam evolved as medicine for both body and spirit.
Day 5 – Taroudant to Taliouine
Return gently through the Anti-Atlas. Stop in argan groves and visit herbalists who prepare tinctures for vitality and calm. Overnight once more amid saffron fields.
Day 6 – Taliouine to Marrakech
Drive north through the Atlas; arrive by afternoon for reflection and rest.
Day 7 – Marrakech
Conclude the journey with a private hammam ceremony: olive soap, rose clay, orange blossom rinse, and rest. A farewell that leaves no noise in the body — only warmth and scent.
