Ait Sedrate Jbel El Soufla (monkey fingers) Hike

Ait Sedrate Jbel El Soufla is a mountainous region located in Morocco, and it’s known for its scenic beauty and challenging hiking trails. The best time to visit is during the spring and fall, as the weather is generally mild and pleasant. During the summer, temperatures can get quite hot, and during the winter, snow and ice can make hiking difficult. Today our hike will start after having a royal breakfast in our accommodation near Roses Valley. Our drivers will pick us up to Ait sedrate jbel el soufla to start monkey fingers hike with our local guide and our team. After packing our shoes and get ready then let’s start this interesting hike from the village of ait ouglif then enter to the canyons of the monkey fingers until the oasis of tagbalout and return by the dry river until the gorges of Ait Arbi. Here, the predominant color combination is red and green. The hills on each side of the valley have a dusty rust color and are strikingly punctured by protruding deep vermillion colored rock formations. We will enter the trees and stroll alongside the irrigation channels. The colors, textures, patterns, and bird sounds of this manicured land will capture your attention right away. When viewing from the bottom of the valley, the village’s dwellings appear to mix seamlessly with the slope above. We will find a Plato with troglodyte nomads after gorges. Finally, before ending our hike the Ait arbi river will give us the opportunity to see dinosaur footprints right away after descending a track to the river. Two ranges of footprints are close to each other. The tour takes 5 hours of walk including the picnic lunch break. We’ll program the time and the place of lunch break after we get to Ait sedrate jbel el soufla. Note : the dinosaur footprints are a bit far from Ait Arbi village so make sure that if we started the hike late, we won’t see that.
