Jbel Saghro Trek 6-days

Die Jbel Saghro Trek to Bab n’Ali and Kouaouch (Anti-Atlas, Morocco) is a spectacular desert-mountain journey through volcanic towers, sculpted canyons, and peaceful oasis valleys. Between the High Atlas and the Sahara, Jbel Saghro offers quieter trails than Toubkal, warmer winter conditions, and wildly photogenic formations. This route highlights the iconic rock gate of Bab n’Ali and the summit area around Kouaouch, blending rugged terrain with authentic encounters in Berber hamlets.

Why choose the Jbel Saghro Trek (Bab n’Ali & Kouaouch)

• Signature landmarks: the pinnacles of Bab n’Ali and the Kouaouch massif.

• Volcanic desert scenery: buttresses, mesas, and narrow gorges unique to the Anti-Atlas.

• Authentische Kultur: terrace farming, almond groves, and traditional stone-and-mud villages.

• Tolle Option für den Winter: typischerweise milder und trockener als der Hohe Atlas von Oktober-April.
