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!

Lahcen made the day great! - Lahcen was out tour guide and he was the best! He is from the area and shared the Berber culture with us. He was helpful and patient with our hikers of various abilities and he stopped for regular breaks. He told us many interesting things about the irrigation system and crops in the valley and he was equally knowledgeable of the canyon and rock formations. He guided us through lunch with a local family and taught us about Berber foods and dining customs. He made the day a fascinating journey through history, geology, and culture. Contact him through Whatsapp 212677657053.

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!
