Jebel Sahro, Morocco - Summer 2008 |

During May half-term 2008 ten boys from Years 8 and 9 enjoyed wonderful trekking amongst the mountains of the Jebel Sahro in Morocco with three staff. The Jebel Sahro range is sandwiched between the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco and the Sahara: the remote mountain region of Jebel Sahro is the perfect destination for trekking. Our nine-day walking adventure took us from Marrakech to explore the heart of the Jebel Sahro. We trekked amongst rocky peaks and plateaux and through occasional green oases, where we found the red mud-built villages of the Berber people. We walked along quiet trails, with our team of mules carrying our equipment through a variety of spectacular Jebel Sahro scenery. We also took the option of trekking to the summit of the highest peak in the Jebel Sahro range, Amalou n'Mansour (2,712m/8,895ft). We enjoyed an exciting drive across the High Atlas Mountains to the souks and snake-charmers of Marrakech, where we enjoyed a tour of the mosque, city wall and market, and where the boys tested their wits at bartering for gifts to take home.
