Lago Lalla Takerkoust

Just 40 minutes from Marrakech, Lake Lalla Takerkoust is a reservoir surrounded by hills with the Atlas peaks as a backdrop. It is a very popular spot for kayaking, paddle boarding, quad biking, or camel rides, and for eating at its terrace restaurants right by the water. At sunset, the reflection of the mountains on the lake is gorgeous. A perfect half-day getaway far from the city pace. 📷 Photographs courtesy of Bertramz (CC BY-SA 3.0), via Wikimedia Commons.
