The Jbel Abyad hike is one of the best mountain walking experiences in northern Morocco, especially for nature and adventure lovers. The area lies in Fahs Lamhar and offers varied terrain, from forests to open mountain trails with panoramic views.
During this trip we will enjoy fresh air far from the noise of the city, with clean air and wide green spaces. The route suits all levels, whether you are a beginner or an experienced hiker.
Fahs Lamhar is a plateau between the mountains around Tetouan. It is a naturally protected environment and a favourite place for herds of horses and cows that belong to people from the nearby villages and roam freely.
If you are looking for an experience that combines adventure and relaxation, Jbel Abyad and Fahs Lamhar are the perfect choice.
Practical info
- We rent out some equipment, or we can direct you to the nearest shop that rents mountain gear.
- Your backpack should not weigh more than 3 kg: the lighter it is, the easier and more enjoyable the walk.
