- Distance: Approx. 70 km
- Duration: Five days hiking
- Start/end point: Taliouine or Akhfamane to Tinfat
- Difficulty: Moderate
- Accommodation: Camping and gite homestays
The 3,305 metre Jebel Sirwa makes for a moderately challenging climb, mostly for the trail and sun conditions than the elevation gain itself. This trek involves about five days of hiking with mules and a mixture of wild camping and traditional gite homestays. The landscapes here are on the severe side, but the views over the Anti-Atlas range from Jebel Sirwa summit are incredible and even better: you’re unlikely to be sharing them with any other hikers.
