Trekking in the Anti Atlas Mountains – Western The Anti Atlas Massif 7 Days
The Anti-Atlas mountains are a haven for daring hillwalkers and trekkers, who can experience the region’s breathtaking scenery and old communities via the network of Berber routes that crisscross this rough terrain. Tafraout’s enormous potential has yet to be completely realized, and it remains very much “off the beaten track” for tourists going through Morocco. It does, however, offer a rustic charm and character that distinguishes it from the more popular trekking districts of the High Atlas, and holidays here will appeal to those who enjoy a little adventure in their trip.

Finally, the girls arrive to toss a pebble that must strike the rock above the source in order for her to meet a spouse. The inhabitants of the oasis will be met as you explore the oasis. We'll leave the palm grove and climb into a tiny canyon, where we'll stop for lunch.
