Discover the hidden Vallée des Oiseaux (Valley of Birds) in Boumalne Dades, one of the most fascinating bird habitats in the High Atlas–Anti Atlas transition zone of southeast Morocco.
Meet your guide and set off on a 4-hour guided birdwatching experience that takes nature lovers deep into a wild valley where cliffs, oasis gardens, rocky gorges, and desert plains create the perfect environment for both resident and migratory birds.
Guided by a local nature guide who knows the valley intimately, explore quiet trails and secret viewpoints where birds gather to feed, nest, and rest. The area is famous among bird lovers for species such as the Eurasian Eagle-Owl (Grand Duc Bubo Bubo), hoopoes, larks, desert wheatears, bee-eaters, and many seasonal migratory birds travelling between Africa and Europe.
During the walk, learn about the bird ecology of the Dades Valley, migration routes, and the importance of protecting this fragile ecosystem. The peaceful landscapes of the Anti-Atlas foothills, combined with the sounds of birds and the calm of the valley, make this experience perfect for birdwatchers, photographers, and nature enthusiasts.
The experience includes a gentle hike through the valley with several bird-watching stops near cliffs, oasis gardens, and river habitats. Binoculars are recommended, and photography opportunities are excellent.
