Overview
4167m peak AND amazing food..!
Join us trekking through the dramatic landscape of the High Atlas Mountains to summit Northern Africa’s highest peak, Mt Toubkal at 4167m.
Our challenge begins in Marrakesh before we travel to the quaint village of Imlil and 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. Marrakech is built around the 12th century Koutoubia Mosque whose beautiful minaret dominates the skyline and can be seen from almost every approach. Any visit to Marrakech must include a visit to the medina and its colourful souk (marketplace) where you can barter for carpets, leather goods, jewellery, lanterns and spices. Another must-see is the legendary Djemaa el-Fna, the busiest and most famous square in Africa, where snake charmers, storytellers, acrobats, medicine men and musicians compete for your attention. There will be plenty of time for celebrating in Marrakesh on our return.
