The areas of Morocco our operation covers are quite distinct; spaning from the lofty crags and screes of the Toubkal, to the cedar forests of Michlefen, and plunging gorges and karsts of the Mgoun valley. Explore the bizarre rock formation, the pristine oasis  of the Jbel Sehro, the enchanting groves of almonds, saffron crocus, and cliff dwellings to the picturesque spread of plateaus, blooming wadis, oases and palm groves, voluptuous sand dunes, and nomadic tents. Nestled among the high peaks of the Atlas, you will find cultures and vistas untouched by the modernity.

Morocco should spring to mind when one thinks of high mountains. In fact it offers some of the most impressive mountain and desert treks in the world. More importantly, its population, Berber and Moorish, ensure a truly exotic experience and a thought-provoking insight into an ancient culture remarkably different from your own.

The dwellers of the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara desert have long held the fascination of ethnologists as an example of an unchanged mountain race. Your contact with them as your delightful trek staff is one of the charming aspects of walking in this little known region. All our treks in Morocco are conducted by indigenous Berber guides.
