THE HOTEL
In the heart of the region of Souss, located in the south of Morocco, and just a few miles away from the pink-walled city of Taroudant lies Dar Zitoune, translated to "house of the olives". Enjoy the year round North African sun. Home to a small spa with traditional Hammam, sauna and heated Jacuzzi. There are also a choice of massage treatments available. The chef prepares delicious cuisine with much of the fresh produce taken from their own organic gardens.
Henne on the hands and the feet is one of the beauty symbols for Moroccan women, why not head to the spa so some Henne can be created on you.
First experience with A&K. Intended to ask various travel companies for quotes but Vicky (Agnew) was so good with her suggestions that we did not seek alternative quotations the suggested itinerary was excellent and helped us decide on a balanced and interesting holiday.
