Lalla Takerkoust Lake
Fifty minutes out. A reservoir under the Atlas, a parasol, and an afternoon nobody has planned.
Lalla Takerkoust is held by a dam the French built between 1929 and 1935, below the Kik plateau. Fifty minutes from Gueliz, the water sits deep blue against dry hills, and the far shore is Atlas.
The day is deliberately unstructured. A terrace lunch by the water, lake fish or a tagine, then a swim in the restaurant's pool, a pedalo, or nothing at all under a parasol until the light softens. Swimming in the lake itself is not permitted. Riders can take the trail along the shore. If you want a view rather than a chair, the Kik plateau above the lake looks down over the whole basin, and we add the drive up on request.
This asks less of you than anything else we sell, and nothing is easier with small children. The day after a long drive is where it belongs.

Ramadan: Lakeside terraces serve guests who are not fasting through the day, though poolside service often starts later.
The whole trip was organized very well. I highly recommend.
