The Jebel Saghro is a volcanic mountain massif of southeastern Morocco, set between the Drâa to the south and the High Atlas to the north and reaching its highest point at Amalou n Mansour at 2,712 metres. The range marks the geological boundary between the Anti-Atlas and the High Atlas, and the climatic boundary between the Mediterranean and the pre-Saharan zones.
The Saghro is the historic stronghold of the Aït Atta confederation, the five-fifths Berber federation of southern Morocco. Aït Atta transhumance has long combined summer pastures on the Saghro plateau with winter grazing in the lower Drâa, the Tafilalt, and the Jbel Bani further south.
The Saghro was the site of the final Aït Atta resistance to French colonial pacification. The Battle of Bou Gafer of February–March 1933, fought at a fortified plateau on the southeastern flank of the massif, pitted a small Aït Atta force under the chief Assou Ou Basslam against several thousand French and Moroccan auxiliary troops with air support; the position fell after fifty days under terms that preserved a measure of Aït Atta political autonomy.
The Saghro is one of the least developed mountain regions of Morocco, accessible primarily by track. Hiking and trekking tourism since the 1990s has become a secondary economy alongside the pastoralism that remains the principal livelihood of the resident Aït Atta and Aït Sedrate populations.
