Experience the unparalleled beauty of Morocco's landscapes with Toubkal Tours' exclusive Jbel Sirwa Discovery Trek. Nestled within the captivating Anti-Atlas mountain range, Jbel Sirwa is a natural wonder that beckons adventurers and nature enthusiasts alike.

Overview:

Situated between the rugged Anti-Atlas and the imposing High Atlas, Jbel Sirwa stands tall at over three thousand meters above sea level. Renowned for its volcanic origins, this iconic peak is characterized by its intricate dikes and pellets, showcasing a geological masterpiece.

Day 1 : Departure to Mezwad from Marrakech or Ouarzazate

Embark on a seamless journey from either Marrakech or Ouarzazate, as we traverse the breathtaking High Atlas massif. Revel in the stunning contrasts of landscapes as we descend towards the fertile Souss plain, adorned with thriving almond and Argan trees. The journey continues to Aouzoud, known for its bustling souk, and concludes at the picturesque Mezwad village (1700m). Your experienced guides and muleteers await, ensuring a warm welcome.
