Trekking in Morocco: explore the volcanic formations of Jebel Sirwa.

Hike across the stunning Moroccan landscape for 8 days and bivouac under the stars in the High Atlas Mountains.

Jebel Sirwa is a volcano that links the Anti-Atlas to the High Atlas. Lying north-east of Taliouine, its peak is the highest point of the Anti-Atlas, at 3305 metres above sea level (ASL). The volcanic formations are impressive and the scenery en route diverse, ranging from mountain gorges and terraced fields to green plains and ancient Berber villages. Saffron is grown here and the Ait Ouaouzguite region is also well known for its beautiful carpets and rugs.
