11. Magical Hike AT the Monkey Finger's Canyon
· 2 hoursMonkey Fingers Canyon, located in the heart of the Dades Valley, is one of the most impressive natural gems in southern Morocco. Its name comes from the singular shape of its rocks sculpted by erosion, which evoke huge monkey fingers. This unique site offers a spectacular landscape of reddish cliffs, narrow gorges and amazing rock formations, changing color as the day progresses according to sunlight. Hiking in Monkey Fingers Canyon is an unforgettable experience, accessible at all levels. The route takes about 2 to 3 hours and crosses a breathtaking scenery: passages between the large stone walls, small paths winding between the rocks, and panoramic views of the Dades valley and the surrounding mountains. It is an ideal place for lovers of nature, photography and peace.
22. Hike & Overnight With Nomads Families
5.0· 6 reviews· 20 hoursUnlike 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.
