3. 3Arouss to Aghouri pass to Tarkedit plateau to M'Goun⌄

   When you awake, we will begin our trek to the foot of M'Goun. It will be quite a long day (perhaps 7 or 8 hours of walking) but the journey itself will make it worthwhile! We'll take you through some wild Moroccan landscape to the Aghouri pass at 3450m before descending to the wind-eroded and snow-covered high plateau of Tarkedit at 2900m where we will have our lunch. After our food, we will establish a camp at 3400m directly below M'goun West, ready for our attempt on the summit.

From the top, there are impressive views across the Draa valley and towards the Sahara Desert to the south. When we descend, we'll head to our camp at Azib Izabine and take some time for a rest!
