We begin hiking through cultivated fields and traditional irrigation channels. We pass through Tabant and Aït Imi villages, and visit the famous dinosaur footprints in the village of Ibaklioune. A great cultural immersion day. Overnight in Timit. (5.5h walk)

We start with a climb to the collective granary and the marabout (shrine) of Sidi Moussa, offering panoramic views of the Happy Valley. We descend toward Agouti, then continue through walnut groves to the village of Arouss. After lunch, we hike to our campsite at Azib N’Ikiss. (5.5h walk)

We ascend a good trail to the Tarkeddid Pass (3400m), with spectacular views of the M’Goun range and its 4068-meter summit. We descend to the Tarkeddid Plateau, a summer pasture used by nomadic herders. Overnight in tents. (5.5h walk)

Early breakfast at 4:00 AM; departure at 5:00 AM with picnic lunch. A steady non-technical ascent of about 4 hours takes us to the summit of M’Goun, offering panoramic views of the Southern Valleys, Rose Valley, and Dadès. We descend along a ridge before reaching our camp at Oulilimt. Free afternoon to rest. (8h walk)

We hike through the Oulilimt Valley, frequented by Aït Atta nomads who migrate here from the Rose Valley and Saghro Mountains. The trail follows the river that becomes the M’Goun River. After 4 hours of walking, we reach the Aflafal Spring for our next camp. Free afternoon.

We continue down the M’Goun Valley, passing through several Berber villages nestled beside terraced fields of corn, wheat, apple, and walnut trees. Lunch near Taghreft village, then hike another 1.5 hours to the camp at Imi N’Irkt (“Gorge Entrance” in Berber).

Early start to avoid afternoon storms. We hike through the spectacular narrow gorges of the M’Goun River – often walking directly through the cool water. At the narrowest point, we walk for nearly 3 hours in the river. We enjoy a hot mint tea and lunch at the Ifasfas spring before setting up camp near Aguerzegua village. (5.5h walk)

We hike alternating between riverbanks and fields. Terraced farming lines both sides of the river, though still insufficient for the growing population. As we approach the south, the temperature rises. Lunch near Ighrem Akdim village. Overnight at a local guesthouse in Boutaghrar. (5.5h walk)

Scenic drive from Boutaghrar through the Valley of Roses and along the southern slopes of the Atlas Mountains. We pass Kelaat M’Gouna, Morocco’s “Rose Capital,” before crossing the Tizi N’Tichka Pass (2260m), the highest in Morocco. Arrival in Marrakech in the afternoon. (Approx. 6h drive)
