Jbel Tidirhine

Mount Tidirhine (sometimes spelled Jbel Tidirhine) is located in Morocco's Al Hoceima Province, in the Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region. This is the highest of the Rif mountains, standing at 2,456 meters above sea level, and is home to several ancient Berber settlements that have existed here for centuries. It's a towering hill that rises above the village of Ketama, now known as Issaguen, in a region famed for the hospitality of the native Berbers and cannabis growing. It's 320 kilometers north of Morocco's geographic center and 232 kilometers northeast of Rabat, the Moroccan capital.

Another of Morocco's most famous peaks, most hikers begin their ascent from Rabat, the Moroccan capital. As the hiking trail ascends, the peak offers panoramic views of the Strait of Gibraltar and, on a clear day, the Spanish coast. This hike is ideal for those who want to get a taste of Morocco's peaks.
