Climbing travel to Morocco

Amellago and Oued Laou

April 19 to may 1, 2008

With climbing as a pretext, it is for a travel in the discovery of deep Morocco which I invite you in a new formula far from mass tourism tracks.

You will embark in Sète on a ferry toTanger on April 17th after noon or you will off-load after a mini cruise of 36 hours on 20th in the morning.

I'll find you at the release of the customs of the port and from there, after a stopping place in the fishers' harbour of Larache. we shall set off to the High-Atlas to meet Amellago cliffs and boulders' extraordinary limestones and sandstones where we'll pass one week. We'll do a stop to visit the Volubilis city ruins.

We shall then set off to the North which first stage will be in the medina of Fes for the discovery of the Arabian-Berber eternal city. Then we'll do a stopping place of 3 days to climb near Oued Laou, a small fishermen's town on the coast of Rif where we'll take advantage of attractions of the Mediterranean Coast.

Then we'll take together in Tangier the ferry which will return us on May 3th in the morning in port of Sète, after rest day and offshore relaxation.
