side of
Tizi n'Tacheddirt
pass (3230m) in Imlil. One popular hike has been to traverse the
pass via the villages of
Tadrart
,
Timichi
,
Tacheddirt
and
Ouaneskra
, but now a paved road
covers two-thirds of the route forcing trekkers to make a steeper two-day ascent to avoid
walking along the road.
Other possible treks from Setti Fatma head east to Tourcht, north to Imi-n-Taddert, to
Anammer and Tiz n'Oucheg in the Aït Oucheg Valley, and from the Yaggour Plateau into
the Zat Valley (

, the latter being the most impressive trek on offer. The bureau

can hook you up with licenced guides.
Sleeping & Eating
From Oulmes to Setti Fatma, both sides of the river are lined with cafe-restaurants offer-
ing tajines priced to move. Two of the better choices in Setti Fatma proper are
Café-Res-
taurant Imlil
(near the parking at the end of town), and
Café-Restaurant Azrrabzou
(opposite
the river) over a plank bridge in a patch of almond trees. Both offer set meals with salad,
tajine/kebabs and bottled water for Dh50 to Dh60.

This jaunty little guesthouse
is tucked down a steep pebble staircase below the busy streets of Setti Fatma. As a result,
it is wonderfully secluded, with just the sound of the rushing river to disturb dreams of
summit ascents. With Martine and Poulou's easygoing hosting and shared conversations
around central fireplaces, you'll feel right at home. Rooms are kitted out with cute quilts,
Berber rugs and personal knick-knacks. Bring a torch for night-time navigation.
