Mountains and sea, an idyllic combination and fusion of cultures. Climb Munt Toubkal and then relax on the coast

Medium group
Overview
This Moroccan adventure sees us trekking through the dramatic landscape of the High Atlas Mountains, summiting Northern Africa’s highest peak, Mt Toubkal at 4167m.
Our challenge begins in the quaint village of Imlil before we make our way up towards Mt Toubkal’s base camp. We pass through traditional Berber villages, meeting the friendly locals. Our luggage will be transported by mules as we trek along the zig zagging paths admiring the stunning scenery that surrounds us. We will overnight in mountain refuges and enjoy traditional Moroccan cuisine. Reaching the summit we are rewarded with breathtaking views over the dramatic peaks. We return to base camp before our final descent where we then transfer to Marrakesh.
Leaving Morocco’s mountains and Marrakesh behind, your journey now brings you to historic Essaouira on the Atlantic Coast. Explore the UNESCO World Heritage site protected by 18th century ramparts, linger in souks selling terracotta tagine pots, baskets of small woodcrafts, cones of colourful spices.
Relax in warm waters, perfect for swimming and surfing. Essaouira is an outstanding example of a fortified town of the mid-eighteenth century, surrounded by a wall influenced by the Vauban model. Constructed according to the principles of contemporary European military architecture, in a North African context, in perfect harmony with the precepts of Arabo-Muslim architecture. It has played a major role over the centuries as an international trading seaport, linking Morocco and sub-Saharan Africa with Europe and the rest of the world.
We then make our way back to Marrakesh and depart.
