The Rif Mountains in northern Morocco is a scenic and culturally rich area, easy and inexpensive to reach from Europe. We offer an 8-day program where we walk in the nature of Talassemtane National Park and participate in various Activities of the Berbers in the villages.The people in this area call themselves Jbala, which means "mountain people". Most of them are Berber, members of the original inhabitants of North Africa, who adopted the Arabic language from the 10th century, but which is influenced by the Berber Amazigh language and Spanish.
They are engaged in agriculture, which is operated in a traditional way and on a small scale. In the program, we learn about Jbala families and get to know their daily lives and their handicrafts.
We also hike to natural sites such as the summit Jbel Lakkra and through the canyon of crystal clear river, Farda with the D'Akchour Falls and the Pont de Dieu rock formation.
