Itinerary of Mgoun traverse

Day 1: Arrival

Arrive in Marrakech.

Day 2: Marrakech – Tabant (1800m)

After an early breakfast, we set off to the Valley of Ait Bougmez, a five-hour journey. We meet our mule team at the Valley and spend the night in the local Guesthouse at Timit Village. There will be a picnic in Azilal—a 5-hour drive.

Day 3: Tabant (1800m) – Ait Imi Pass (2900m) – Tighremet n'Ait Ahmed (2200m)

In the morning, we leave the Valley and walk on a winding trail up to the pass, with spectacular views of the Mgoun Massif and Happy Valley. We then descend on a single path to Ouzighimt Valley in the afternoon. Overnight camping in tents. Very close to Tighremet n’Ait Ahmed’s old granary, which was previously used for desert caravans. 6 hours walk.

Day 4: Tighremt-n-Ait Ahmed (2200m) – Ouzighimt – Imi-n-Irkt (2000m)

We trek along the Ouzighimt valley and pass through several Berber villages of El Morabitine, Wawchki, and Ighrem Izderne. We will meet the inhabitants of the Valley, with the unique costumes and hairstyles of the Berber women. Overnight in tents. 6 hours of trekking.

Day 5: Imi-n-Irkt (2000m) – Mgoun Gorges – Aguerzaga (1700m)

After breakfast, we leave very early in the morning for the narrow Mgoun Gorges. We walk in water through towering narrow canyons. There is an alternative route; we could take the Tizi n’ Ait Hamed pass if the water is too much. A lunch spot will be at the exit of the Gorges—overnight camping in tents near Aguerzaka. The estimated duration of the walk is 6 hours.

Day 6: Aguerzaka(1700m) – Roses Valley – BouTrar (1400m)

After breakfast, we continue our trek in the river, walking in the water to the BouTrar Village. Overnight in local Gite. 5 hours walk.
