What it is

Lunch is the middle of the day handled properly. Between noon and four the plateau is flat, white and hot, and every activity worth doing is either behind you or still ahead. What is left is the shade, the pool and a long table.

It is a Moroccan lunch, cooked at the camp: salads, tagine, bread, fruit, mint tea. It is included in the Day Pass along with the pool and the terraces, and it can be booked on its own if you are only passing through.
