Discover the wild beauty of the Jbel Saghro – Morocco’s forgotten mountain range.
If you’re looking for a raw, remote, and deeply authentic trekking experience, the Jbel Saghro Mountains are calling. Situated between the High Atlas and the Sahara, this arid volcanic range is home to dramatic basalt peaks, hidden plateaus, and semi-nomadic Aït Atta tribes.
Our Saghro treks start from the Dades Gorges and offer a true taste of wilderness, silence, and connection with the land.
