Many say Aït Bouguemez is the most beautiful valley in Morocco. Sitting on the terrace of our guest house in Tabant – the main village in the valley – it’s not hard to see why. Golden light floods the valley turning wheat fields luminous against the red rock of the surrounding hills. An irrigations system cuts the valley into symmetrical patterns, glistening occasionally from the steady flow of water that keeps this area so green.
