Saghro Massive Trekking – 9-day trek and hike around the Saghro Massif
The Saghro Massive: is a fantastic setting and a true pleasure for trekkers, as it allows them to discover the lives of Berber nomadic nomads via a stunning terrain of plateaus, magpies, peaks, gorges, and forests. The jbel saghro: is a mountain range between the high Atlas and the Sahara, the eastern extension of the high Anti-atlas. It is an area of contrasts, with trails leading beneath date palms one minute and through almound trees watered by an antique well the next. The saghro offers a diversity of landforms, many of which are relatively wild, with only a few small towns attesting to human presence. We can also visit the famed nomadic (Ait Atta).
