Winter walking in Morocco's Jebel Sahro

Trek through Morocco’s Jebel Sahro, passing wind eroded rock sculptures, green oases and gently trickling streams during Walks Worldwide’s relaxing 10-day guided winter walking holiday, departing Marrakech on 20th February 2009.

Visit the relatively low and gentle Jebel Sahro region of the Atlas mountains on the fringe of the Sahara, walking through semi-desert, passing the stunning wind-eroded rock formations of Tadout n’ Tablah and Bab N’ Ali, green oases and gently trickling streams. During the winter months when snow turns the High Atlas into a skier's domain, the Jebel Sahro provides a contrasting walking area with warm daytime temperatures.

Sparsely populated by the gentle Ait Atta Berbers and even now, relatively infrequently visited, the region offers mostly easy walking terrain with the optional ascent of a couple of peaks, including Jebel Sahro’s highest summit, Amalou n’ Mansour (2,712m). Spend a final day amongst the fascinations of Marrakech, and as dusk falls, watch the drama unfold as storytellers, acrobats, snake charmers and cooks with their steaming stalls, throng the city’s famous square of Djemaa El-Fna.

The tour costs £670 p/p (land only) including transfers, gite d’etape, camping and hotel accommodation, most meals and expert guiding. Flights are not included.
