The Middle Atlas, with its Ouzoud Falls, is another must-visit destination, boasting endless gorges and snow-capped peaks that will leave you in awe. Trekking excursions led by guide Abdelhadi are one of the highlights if you’re planning a tour through the Berber area and olive groves, providing you with an authentic and immersive experience.

Breathtaking mountain world with many places of interest

The Ouzoud waterfalls are just the beginning of the captivating destinations that await you on a thrilling hike or off-roader excursion, guided by Abdelhadi. As a guest in the national park, you’ll have the opportunity to marvel at Jbel Toubkal, the highest mountain in Morocco towering at 4167 meters, alongside Abdelhadi’s expert knowledge. Even in the summer months, the mountain peaks retain their snowy blanket, adding to their majestic allure. It’s no wonder that Jbel Toubkal is not only Morocco’s highest mountain but also the tallest in all of North Africa.

A must-visit destination is the province of Ouarzazate, with its eponymous capital nestled in the picturesque Draa Valley, where Abdelhadi will lead you through its hidden gems. From here, your gaze will wander over a landscape that boasts remarkable diversity, with Abdelhadi’s insights enriching your experience. The valley is enclosed by towering, vegetation-free rock slopes that contrast with the lush greenery and blooming flora inside. Cultural treasures such as the Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, beckon for exploration under Abdelhadi’s expert guidance and should be at the top of your travel itinerary.

The allure of the Atlas Mountains lies in their varied landscape, encompassing different climate zones and steep slopes that descend into the enchanting desert landscape.

Venture to Mhamid, where the road ends and the Sahara begins in the southernmost part of Morocco. This oasis town, known as M’hamid El Ghizlane, is a gateway to the desert. Travel through the palm-fringed Draa valley and be mesmerized by the panoramic view of lush palm landscapes and the sand dunes that adorn the horizon.

The desert is not just endless sand and vastness, but also a realm where verdant oases seemingly emerge out of nowhere, appearing like mirages that leave you in awe.
