Description

A 4-day trek in the Saghro, a pre-Saharan mountain range reaching 2,700 metres. Along the way we meet the semi-nomadic Berber tribes who live in this part of the country, as well as small farming villages. The area is tough because of its conditions — very cold in winter, very hot in summer, and water is scarce. Come and discover this part of southern Morocco.
