the splendour of the Mountain Siroua Trekking

There are plenty of elements in nature that easily will help you navigate around the area. The nature here is absolutely on the extreme side, as so much else in the Anti Atlas. .

Itinerary!

DAY 1: Marrakech - Tamalakout : In the morning, you'll depart for the southern slopes of the Atlas mountains, arriving in the village of Tamalakout, which is about a 4-hour drive, for a traditional reception at your Berber mule handler's home in Tamalakout (1650m). The rest of the afternoon and evening can be spent enjoying the culture and company of the local people.

DAY 2: Tamalakout - Sirwa - Ait Tigga : After loading the mules, you'll leave Tamalakout and head up to the desert plateaux, striking out for Sirwa. After reaching the mountain, you and your party will bivouac near the village of Ait Tigga. The day should take around 5 hours of walking to complete.

DAY 3: Ait Tigga - Idoughagh - Aït Ighmour - Tachanct Pass - Tisfeldalt : On the 4th day, you'll be visiting the villages of Idoughagh, Aït Ighmour and Ait Tigga. There is an ancient, 900 year-old agadir or granary to visit when you arrive in Ait Tigga. From there, you will head up to the Tachanct Pass at 2500m before heading to the foot of Tisfedalt, with its azibs or sheep pens. After a 6 and a half hour day of travelling, you'll bivouac near to Sirwa for the night.

DAY 4: Tisfeldalt - Sirwa - Tikniwine - Irhiri : You and your guides will head out early to reach the Sirwa summit. There may be some scrambling to be done as you cross the southern slope. When you have reached the peak, you'll then head down to 'the twins' or Tikniwine to pass the sheep pens of Irhiri at 2300m. The entire day should take around 6 and a half hours.

DAY 5: Irhiri - Tazoult - Msitalla - Tamazikht : You'll start trekking in an easterly direction, along the Tazoult and across the Assif of Irhiri to reach the foot of Msitalla. After just over 6 hours of walking, you'll reach your bivouac on the outskirts of Tamazikht village at 1730m.

DAY 6: Marrakech - Ouarzazate : You'll return to your starting point, either Marrakech or Ouarzazate in the afternoon.

A fantastic day trip where you truly got value for money. Having seen other group tours on the day, we certainly appreciated the experience of the one on one attention. Hamed was a great guide and answered all questions. It was great that he personalised the tour and gave several options at each stage and was extremely flexible.
