Trekking Jebel Saghro
Few tourists venture into the starkly beautiful Jebel Saghro (aka Jebel Sarhro or Djebel
Sahro) as most of the flat-topped mesas, volcanic pinnacles and deep gorges dotted with
palm groves are only accessible on foot. This arid, isolated territory is home turf to the
seminomadic Aït Atta, legendary warriors famous for their 1933 stand against the French
here, on
Jebel Bou Gafer
