Places You’ll See
Embark on a unique journey through one of Morocco’s most authentic and breathtaking regions. Our 8-day trekking adventure across the M’Goun Massif and the Valley of the Roses offers the perfect balance between physical challenge and cultural immersion. From the green terraces of the Happy Valley to the wild beauty of the southern slopes, you’ll walk ancient nomadic paths, sleep under starlit skies, explore Berber villages, and—if you wish—summit one of the highest peaks in North Africa. Designed for those who seek true connection with nature, people, and tradition, this trek is more than a hike—it’s an experience that will stay with you forever.
An authentic trekking in the Draa Valley will allow you to explore a chain of oases, vast palm groves, and an endless expanse of dunes. You will discover ksour and kasbahs with traditional architecture. A journey that already smells of warm sand and mint tea…
