Description

A remote trek amongst the terraced valleys and oases of Morocco's isolated south-west

A fantastic short winter trek in southern Morocco; untouched, dramatic and rarely visited by Europeans. Here fortified kasbahs perch above beautiful terraced valleys and wide oases, while the distant jagged peaks fade into the desert haze. On trek there is plenty of contact with the local villagers, while the ascent of Jebel Aklim (2531m) gives us wonderful views of the snow-covered High Atlas to the north, and the desert range of Jebel Bani to the south. The trek ends in Taroudant, one of Morocco's five imperial cities, with time to explore the souks and ancient perimeter walls.
