Unlike typical tours, you trek 14 km (two 7 km hikes) through rugged canyons and prehistoric trails, guided by experts, with no tourist polish—just pure nature. The overnight stay with Morocco’s last nomads in caves or tents isn’t pre-booked; we arrive with donkeys, sleeping bags, and food, welcomed spontaneously into their homes. You’ll share their meals, stories, and daily life—grazing animals, fetching water—offering an intimate, unfiltered cultural immersion. The untouched Dades Valley views from the canyon rim, paired with a sunset and starry night alongside these families, create a rare blend of adventure and heritage. It’s not just a trip—it’s a journey into a vanishing world, blending physical challenge with profound human connection.
