Description

Jebel Ayachi is a non-volcanic, 3,747 m mountain in Morocco’s Eastern High Atlas. Summit ascents differ from lower-slope walks: the Altituderando outing from Tattiouine reached only about 2,500 m. Oxygen Atlas approaches the summit through Iblilou and requires mountain experience. A CAF Casablanca account records a long summit day on which some participants turned around at a pass below the top.

Routes

Cirque de Jaffar — Tizi n’Tirecht — Ichichi n’Boukhlib

Scrambling kelas 2 pada batuan; kondisi salju mengubah kesulitan / Class 2 rock scrambling; snow changes difficulty

From Jaffar the approach crosses Taqqat n-Ijimi and the Ijimi valley to Tizi n’Tirecht (3,140 m), then the Said Ou Adi ridge. The author places the highpoint Ichichi n’Boukhlib about 30 minutes northeast of that signed summit.

7 jam pada hari puncak / 7 hours on summit day

The Oxygen Atlas summit stage starts at Iblilou (2,450 m), climbs ridges and ravines, then descends to Aqua n’Bou Oustour (2,700 m). The operator gives 3.5–4.5 hours for the ascent; this stage belongs to a multi-day journey.

Tattiouine — lereng bawah Ayachi (bukan puncak)

Sedang / Moderate

A walk from Tattiouine along paths and off-trail sections to about 2,500 m before returning to the village. The source gives different distances in its header and narrative, so no single distance is assigned here.

Climbing Experiences

These sources distinguish Ayachi foothill walks, summit ascents and operator itineraries. Samia describes camping at Takkat and ice on a steep section; CAF Casablanca records a group splitting according to fitness and available time. The 1970 account provides historical context rather than current trail conditions.
