We were disappointed the first day we arrived in Morroco for not having seen any Berber villages. By the time we reached Marrakech, Berber villages and Berber life abounds and we were in Berber heaven. This village is just less than hour's drive outside of Marrakech and this is one of the staging places for the exploration of Cascades D'ouzoud, the waterfalls. It is so sublimely beautiful. 
There are always Berber rugs hung everywhere for sale.
The parking lot, full of grand taxis that brought all the tourists including us to this incredibly beautiful village. Around town, they use little cars as taxis and they are referred to as petit taxis. The bigger Mercedes cars are used to take people further away and are known as grand taxis. You can hire a grand taxi and driver for the whole day which was what we did, costs a little bit more. Or you can take them to a particular destination, they leave when the taxi is full and each passenger is responsible for their part of the fare. 
The restaurants have 2 types of seating, tables and chairs if that's your preference or rugs and cushions.
Someone is living in this tent. It's so romantic!
As we climbed up to see the waterfalls, we can see the village through the bare tree branches.
What a glorious day that was. Would you be making a trip to Morroco soon?
