Beautiful - Very nice walk with our guide. The route has been adapted due to flooding due to weather. But we were able to discover magnificent views of the monkey finger canyon, the Snowy Atlas.

Fantastic walk with the amazing Youssef - A great experience to walk through the gorge with the fantastic Youssef. The gorge is beautiful, the walk challenging. Youssef is a fantastic guide, who tells a lot about the surroundings, plants and trees and about his own history. A walk through his home village is also part of the trip. I am very positively surprised by his hospitality and nice company. You're a great man, Youssef. I recommend everyone to do this amazing tour!

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!

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
