Amazing landscapes and a great guide

Idris was a great guide. He was happy, polite, helpful and showed us and taught us so much interesting stuff! He knew the ins and outs of the monkey fingers maze, gave us tips when rock scrambling, explained cool details about the surroundings, agriculture and culture, and knew locals along the way which were welcoming to us. I recommend this tour!

Challenging but beautiful walk in the canyon!

Great guide, Ahmed Boumadir, book privately on 00212 690 342 989! Ahmed really knows everything about this area attentive, friendly man, who organizes hiking tours from 3 hours to 6 days. During the multi-day tours you will stay with the nomads. We 'only' did the 3 hour walk, but this was really-great!! Many explanations about the rock formations and all flora and fauna. Absolutely recommended!

Beautiful excursion

Prepared and organized. The only flaw they speak little English. The route of the excursion was very nice and the guide helped us to cross more complex pieces
