Morocco Tours & Discoveries stands out as the premier trekking operator in Fez, offering unparalleled trekking guides and unique trails around the city. Their day trip to Mount Zalagh, located north of Fez, provides travelers with limited time the chance to experience the rich rural culture just a short distance from Fez, yet worlds apart. This hiking tour to Mount Zalagh highlights the cultural divide between Arab tribes like Oulad Jamaa and Cheraga and the Berbers of Lmtaa and Beni Sadden. Although it’s a day trip, the activities included promise a wealth of discoveries, offering a unique journey beyond what most visitors to Fez experience and what other small group tour planners offer. Participants will explore the northern side of the mountain, cross small adobe villages, visit a Berber mud compound, enjoy a freshly cooked lunch under ancient olive groves, partake in an afternoon tea ceremony in Bedouin style, and conclude the day with a stunning sunset view over the Medina of Fez. For those seeking an active day, cycling around Mount Zalagh is also an option, with some challenging ascents that are well worth the effort for the breathtaking views. Additional evening activities are available upon request, such as a Hammam Spa, dinner with a show, and henna tattooing.
