Meet your mule team after breakfast and set out across the wide volcanic terrain of the Jbel Saghro Massif. The trail climbs to Tizi n'Iferd Pass (2,400 m), rewarding you with sweeping views of the High Atlas, before descending to camp on the quiet Iferd Plateau. Overnight: mountain camp, Iferd Plateau.
Today brings the trek's high point: the summit of Kouaouch (2,600 m), the highest peak of the route. From the top, take in far-reaching views across the Saghro range before descending through dramatic rocky terrain to the village of Igli. Overnight: mountain camp near Igli.
Hike through Tadaout n'Tablah, one of the most striking landscapes in the Saghro Mountains, before reaching the towering volcanic spires of Bab N'Ali — the visual highlight of the trip. From here, transfer by vehicle to the palm-shaded oasis town of N'Kob. Overnight: hotel or riad in N'Kob.
Drive back through the lush Draa Valley, lined with palm groves and traditional Berber villages, then continue via Agdez, Ouarzazate, and back over the High Atlas to Marrakech, arriving in the late afternoon. End of tour.
