Superb experience - Amazing experience! Our guide helped us finding food as it was Eid and all the shops and restaurants were closed. He took us to a cultural house where we enjoyed a delicious soup a tagine and some fruits. He is so knowledgeable about the area.and told us about the different trekking one can do in that area. He also helped me through the most tricky bits of the gorge as it rained and some parts where inaccessibile. Such a knowledgeable and passionate guide to spend time with....and the landscape itself is out of this world! Super recommended.

Beautiful but know it it sometimes very challenging - If clamoring up the side of a gorge sounds like fun I'd highly recommend this hike. It was fun going in and out of the gorge where there was sometimes a stream below. If the idea of falling scares you I would t recommend going all the way through. Not a good hike for families with small children or anyone with a kiddo on their back. There are small crevices and walking on the edge of the canyon. That said we are 60 so if we can do it mose active people can too! Monkey fingers was a fun hike! We also visited a Nomad Cabe and met the 18 or maybe 19 year old son of the family. (He's not certain of his age). Had tea with him.

Great hike, great explanations! - We organized the hike through Anir and our guide Nordine was already waiting for us at the agreed upon time and location. Parking the car was not a problem. The hike itself was amazing and took around 3 hours. Our guide did explain to us a lot about the location and the local culture which was very interesting. Would choose this guided hike again anytime.

Cool walk, with grand views for dessert - We left from the agreed place and every 100 meters we got further the tour became more beautiful. Really cool how Abdou showed us this beautiful piece of Morocco. We were with our family of 5, youngest 8, this trip was really fine to do, also the kids enjoyed. The easiest way to contact Abdou is directly: +212634333489 or [email protected]

Beautiful hike - We spent an amazing day in Monkey's Paws with our guide Jawad. As soon as we arrived, Jawad was very welcoming and warm, putting us at ease right away. He knows every trail and every corner of this impressive rock formation, and has guided us with great expertise. The hike itself was spectacular. The scenery was breathtaking, and Jawad took the time to show us unique views and hidden places that only locals know. He knew how to adapt the rhythm according to our level and our needs We highly recommend this hike with him to anyone looking to discover the beauty of Dades and Monkey Paws jawad whatssap number:+212 700767405

Stunning hike - Ismail was a great guide in this beautiful area. He went above and beyond to help us with our car and made us a delicious lunch. We did this hike with a child who was very happy in a donkey. Highly recommend!
