Embark on a captivating journey through the heart of the Siroua Massif, an experience designed for those who seek to blend adventure with cultural immersion amidst some of Morocco’s most stunning landscapes. This 8-day trekking adventure offers an easy to moderate challenge, suitable for anyone in good physical condition, with daily treks ranging from 4 to 6 hours. The trek explores the diverse terrain of the Siroua region, from its volcanic massif and ancient stone villages to its high pastures and the peak of Jebel Siroua at 3305 meters, providing a rich tapestry of experiences.
Your journey begins with an arrival in the bustling city of Marrakech, where you’re welcomed at the airport and introduced to your team of guides and muleteers. The camaraderie of this group will be a constant source of support and insight as you navigate the trails and terrains of Siroua. The first night, spent in either a bivouac or a stopover in Tamelakoute, sets the stage for the adventure ahead.
The trek truly begins as you cross the village of Tamazirte, venturing into the heart of Siroua. The route takes you through a mosaic of landscapes and villages, each with its own unique charm. From the lush valleys adorned with saffron terraces to rugged mountain passes like Ounzoumer, the journey to Azibe N’Emdiste is as challenging as it is rewarding. The ascent of Mount Siroua stands as the pinnacle of the trek, offering breathtaking views and a profound sense of accomplishment.
Descending from the heights of Siroua, the trek continues through pastoral scenes and stone villages, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and the timeless bond between the land and its people. The path weaves through Amazdour to Aziouone and on to the villages of Amassine and Tourtite, culminating in a serene bivouac at Tachakouchte. Each step of the journey not only brings you closer to the natural beauty of Morocco but also offers a glimpse into the lives of the communities that call this land home.
The return to Marrakech marks the end of the physical journey, but the memories and experiences of Siroua will linger long after. This trek is more than just a hike; it’s an exploration of Morocco’s heartlands, offering a blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and personal achievement. Whether you’re navigating the volcanic landscapes, marveling at the collective attics of stone villages, or standing atop Jebel Siroua, this trek promises an unforgettable adventure into the essence of Morocco.

It is a great place to shop not too far from New York. We took the bus from Port Authority and traveled through the countryside to get there.
