Monkey fingers - Stunning Natural Beauty – Monkey Fingers, Boumalne Dades Visiting the Monkey Fingers rock formations in ait Auglif gourges de dades was an unforgettable experience! The unique shape of the rocks truly resembles monkey fingers, making it a one-of-a-kind sight. The area is perfect for hiking, photography, and simply soaking in the breathtaking views of the Dades Valley. The contrast between the rugged rocks and the green valley below is mesmerizing, especially during sunrise or sunset. The locals are incredibly friendly, and there are some lovely guesthouses nearby for those who want to spend more time exploring. If you love nature, adventure, or geology, this is a must-visit destination in Morocco. Highly recommended!

Very beautiful! - The tour of Youssef was very, very fun! We made a tough climb and that gave a great view. It took about 3.5 hours.

Honest, caring and knowledgeable - I and multiple contacts have done hikes with Anir. He is honest and knowledgeable, has excellent English and I would say goes above and beyond in the care and welfare of his guests. I wish him every success as he deserves it.

Our best day out in Morocco - The best day of our trip to Morocco. Anir is a wonderful guide with a deep knowledge of the culture and ecosystem and a lovely, eloquent way of explaining. The walk was stunning and exciting along the bouldered gorge, with a wonderful coffee break under the cliffs then up and back down, with beautiful views via an ancient Kasbah and cliff dwellings. All the time Anir sharing his wisdom and humour. Brilliant day, can highly recommend it

Best tour & tourguide we had in Morocco! - Most lovely experience, I can just recommend going on a hike with Anir. We had the best time and he made sure everyone was safe and satisfied with the hike while also taking awesome pictures of us and the magnificent landscape. Do yourself a favor and just give your phone to him, you won't be disappointed! Anir also offers longer trips, amongst them a hike into the mountains where you take a mule and stay with Normads overnight — we'll definitely be back!

Must do experience, book now and you won’t regret it! - I have just returned from the most wonderful experience with Anir. He was so warm and welcoming, even before the hike began he was able to rearrange the start time to fit our plans. The hike not only covers some of the most stunning natural scenery but along the way Anir taught us so much about the Amazigh people with their fascinating history and culture. He is so passionate about his land and heritage and this really comes across in every moment. The traditional meal with a local family was a wonderful experience with delicious food and great company (especially two very cute and playful boys!). This family will really show you the meaning of “Berber hospitality”. All in all we spent 5 hours with Anir and parted feeling like we had made a new friend. Any tour with him as your guide is a must do experience if you are in this part of Morocco. Don’t miss out! Tanmirt Anir!
