On this hike you will explore the Jebel Saghro. During a 4-day trip you’ll cross the Tagdilt Plateau, climb to the summit of Jebel Kouaouch and walk along Bab n’Ali, Irhazzoun and the Taoudacht Valley to Nkob. (This trek can be extended by a few days.)
This trek has two options available.
After breakfast, transfer by minibus or 4WD via the Tizi n’Tichkapass, Ouarzazate and Boumalne Dadès (route of 1000 Kasbahs) to Tagdilt, the starting point of our hike where we will meet the muleteers. Overnight stay in a local gîte.
On our first hiking day we will gradually walk up from the plain around Tagdilt to our first bivouac in the mountains.
Early morning transfer by minibus or 4WD from Ouarzazate, via Boumalne Dadès (route of 1000 Kasbahs) to Tagdilt, the starting point of our hike where we will meet the muleteers. After lunch we will gradually walk up from the plain around Tagdilt to our first bivouac in the mountains.
Steady climb up to cross the Jebel Kouaouch (2592m). Looking out over the mountains, we will see the snowy peaks of the High Atlas in the north and the beginning of the desert in the southeast. We’ll start descending to Igli. Overnight stay in a gîte or tents.
Today we’ll walk up and down to the large rock called Bab n’Ali (“gate of Ali”) at 1550m, from which we have a breath-taking view of the Sahgro. We will continue on the Tadaout n’Tablah massif with its jagged eroded rocks, before slowly descending to the village of Irhazzoun. Overnight stay in tents.
On the final day of hiking we will gradually leave the mountains but can still fully enjoy the mountain views till the village of Handour (1098m). After Handour we’ll descend further to Nkob. Overnight stay in a beautiful auberge.
Transfer by 4WD or minibus to Marrakech or Ouarzazate where we will spend our last night in a hotel or riad.
Got to catch that airplane!
