Trekking in Saghro Morocco: a day hike in southern Morocco allows you to discover the pre-Saharan massif of Saghro. The particular charm of Jebel Saghro is essentially due to its exceptional geology, hence the variety of its landscapes: the very rugged relief is made up of immense and jagged plateaus, high cliffs, deep gorges, steep peaks, towers and tabular escarpments in the middle of which caravans of camels circulate and gorges decorated with boxwood bushes and conglomerate monoliths. In a world flooded with warm light. The south wind tells us that the Sahara is very close. From September to May, we invite you to discover a magnificent region in the south of Morocco, the Saghro massif, located in the south of the Valley of Roses, the last mountain before the valley and Oasis of Draa and vast desert areas. Trekking in Saghro Morocco: The Jebel Saghro is a volcanic massif which extends to 2712 m, with very spectacular lunar landscapes, plateaus, peaks and canyons. It is also a land of transhumance, Aït Atta tribe with their Bedouin tents and their herds of goats.
