7 Days Trek in Jbel Saghro

After breakfasting at your Marrakech hotel, we’ll embark on a journey across Tichka Pass in the towering High Atlas Mountains. As we traverse through Berber villages along our route, majestic desert cities such as Ouarzazate and Skoura will come into view; Klaa El Mgouna is where we shall take respite for lunch before continuing to Boumalne Dades. Our final destination of Tagudilt village awaits us there – in which lies an extraordinary guesthouse manned by locals just waiting for us! A 9-hour expedition of discovery and adventure lies ahead – are you ready?

After an early Moroccan breakfast, we will begin our walk on the plateau. We will then climb up to Azarzim Pass and have lunch just before reaching the pass. After crossing the pass, we will reach the shepherds’ home of Azib Almou N’Ouarg, where we will enjoy dinner and camp for the night. This hike is approximately six hours long.

We set off, ready to embark on the challenging journey up Jbel Sarho (2,592m/8,504ft), nicknamed Kouaouch. We push onward with determination and zeal until we reach our goal of reaching the summit! Once there, we take a moment to savor our hard-earned victory by snacking and admiring the sweeping views around us. During the descent from this mountaintop paradise, we halt at Tassigdelt for lunch, then keep trekking towards Igli village, whereupon arrival; camping near almond orchards awaits amongst nomadic people as nightfall approaches over 7 ½ hours hiking adventure!

After a filling breakfast in the quaint village of Igli, we’ll take a stroll through a beautiful gorge next to the Afourer River. Next, we’ll continue down the valley to a scenic spot with majestic rock pinnacles called Bab N’Ali, where we’ll enjoy a packed lunch. A little further down the path, we’ll see a stunning waterfall. Then we’ll head back to Bab N’ Ali to set up camp for the night. This hike is approximately 6 hours long.

We will trace the river’s course via Bab N’ Ali and journey through the valley until we arrive at Irrezzoun N’ Imlas. Here, our picnic lunch awaits us! After refueling with a good meal, let’s keep on exploring along Asif N’ Irrrezzoun, where farms are scattered amidst almond groves and fig orchards—not to mention majestic palms that extend skyward as far as the eye can see. Let this be our campsite for tonight; 5 hours of outdoor adventure await us!

After tucking into a delicious breakfast at Asif N’ Irrezzoun, we’ll venture through some tiny Berber settlements until arriving in the hamlet of Handour, where lunch and an overnight stay await us. The guesthouse here is perfect for relaxation – indulge yourself with a hot shower, freshen your clothes up, then take time to wander around this stunning old village! Get ready for 4 hours of exciting hiking ahead!

We will be heading back to Marrakech via transport today. We’ll have a delicious lunch in Ouarzazate and stop at the Kasbah Taourirt for a visit. The scenery on the road while passing over the Tichka Pass (2,660m/8,727ft) will surely make for an enjoyable ride as we head back into Marrakech! 8 hrs of travel
