Monkey Fingers
Doigts de Singe
A group of weathered conglomerate formations at the start of the Dades Gorge, with rock mounds that look like stacked fingers. Walk into narrow slot canyons on foot.
Located in the Tamellalt area about 12 km north of Boumalne, roadside viewpoints show rows of rounded “monkey finger” rock walls. Walking along the dry riverbed into the rock crevices makes a 2–3 hour loop hike. Some sections require climbing, so a local guide is recommended (about 200–300 dirhams). The viewpoints are free. Bring plenty of water, and beware of falling rocks and flash floods after rain.
