Hiking Jebel Saghro In 9 Days

Hiking Jebel Saghro – Trekking Jebel Saghro in Morocco

Hiking in Jebel Saghro Morocco: The mountain range of Jebel Saghro is almost unknown in Europe, unlike those of the High Atlas or Middle Atlas. The landscape is not as spectacular as in the other Moroccan mountains, either in terms of the more modest steepness of the slopes, or in terms of the rivers and oasis valleys that are less present.

Djebel Saghro Morocco: Djebel Saghro lies to the south of the High Atlas Mountains, forming a contact zone with the Sahara. In terms of relief and genesis, Djebel Saghro is the eastern continuation of the Anti-Atlas.

The Djebel Saghro is still a region mainly occupied by nomads, and as a result, it has a reputation for being inhospitable to tourism. The massif is primarily a hiking destination.

On the one hand, the massif is a privileged place for nature lovers looking for sporty hikes; on the other, it is very interesting for its geological aspects and for the cultural aspects of the region.

The trails in the Saghro mountains are suitable for hikers. No mountaineering skills are required to follow these paths; Djebel Saghro is in its entirety of the medium-mountain type easily traversable by hikers.

Djebel Saghro is a hiker’s paradise! The start of our Djebel Saghro hike is the village of Ait Youl near Kalâat M’goun in the Dades Valley.

Visitors are fascinated by the clear, lucid light, similar to that of the Côte d’Azur. The almost non-existent vegetation cover gives direct access to a bare natural landscape appreciated by those interested in shapes and reliefs of immemorial geological age. Valuable Paleozoic minerals and fossils are a speciality of Djebel Saghro.

Dejbel Saghro is a natural area dating back to the Precambrian period. Its age ranges from 230 million to 570 million years. This geological age results in a rich and attractive lithological diversity. Those interested in rock and fossil collecting will find a selection hard to find elsewhere.
