Trek
Around Djebel Mgoun
These are photos of a short trek that I did alone around
Djebel Mgoun in October 2003. I started
the trek at the small village
of Tatrarat
(South of Djebel Mgoun, North of Skoura). I crossed the Atlas range at the pass
between Djebels Mgoun and Oumassine, to reach the source of Oued Tessaout. From
there I crossed Tizi-n-Oumsoud (pass) and went down along Assif Oulilimt
(river) to the village
of El Mrabitine.
Then I successively crossed Tizi-n-Issouka and Tizi-n-Ait-Ahmed before reaching
the villages of Imeskar et Tahtani and Amajgag (end of
the trek).
