Trekking in the Dades Gorges: 2-Day Trek – 3-Day Trek – 4-Day Trek
✨ Whether you have 2, 3, or 4 days, we have a trek that fits your rhythm.
Hike deep into the heart of Berber country — where the valleys speak in silence and the rocks tell ancient stories.
Located in the southern slopes of the High Atlas Mountains, the Dades Gorges offer some of the most breathtaking and culturally rich trekking routes in Morocco. These treks take you through dramatic canyons, lush oasis valleys, remote Berber villages, and red-rock landscapes sculpted by wind and time.
All treks include a local Berber guide, mule support (for multi-day routes), meals, and overnight stays in authentic guesthouses or homestays.
