Djebel Siroua 8 Days 7 Nights

This trek takes you to the Anti-Atlas, technically another mountain range, which you can access through the High Atlas. The object of the trek is to ascend the Djebel Sirwa, a beautiful peak surrounded by striking villages, and the stunning views that come with any trip into the Moroccan wilderness.

A wonderful trek will take you into the Jebel Siroua mountains, where you can experience a sense of wilderness and breathe clean air of the peaceful valleys, surrounded by colorful foothills, mineral mountains and green valleys where the Berber inhabitants have kept the best of their ancestral traditions. This trip stamps its imprint on your soul like nowhere else on earth.
