8 Day -See Morocco As Few Do -Toubkal is the highest mountain of North Africa

A hearty welcome to the land of Morocco! As soon as you land in Morocco, you will be taken to a hotel in the central part of the city. You can enjoy the first evening at Djemma El Fna Square which is bustling with life.

As you depart from Marrakech in the morning, your experience will take you to a breath-taking landscape view of the Imin-Oughland of the Atlas Mountains, which will act as the trekking adventure’s starting point. Here you will get acquainted with the team including the cooks who will ride on sturdy mules to give company to you for the coming 5 days. North Africa’s highest mountain range, The Atlas, with several 4000m above peaks, offers amazing scenic views. The Tizi-n-Tach pass offers a winding path, ideal for lunch break. Post lunch you will cover Tizi Oussem, a valley with pictorial value. You will night stay in one of the rustic Berber houses.

This day will take you through the Tiziane Valley, trekking along the river route to reach Azib Tamsolute and crossing the Berber goat herders, walnut groves and cultivated fields on the way. Before you climb over the Aglzim mountain passes, stop to visit the waterfall in the pathway for scenic beauty.

The rough terrain of the land may make it uncomfortable for you to trek, but the awesome scenery will compensate for it. You will reach the Toubkal refuge for lodging at night which is the final resting point before you start hiking Toubkal Summit. Several other trekkers will give you company here.

Since Toubkal is the highest peak in North Africa, it is important to start early to be able to reach the peak before it is midday. The route is straightforward but the steep slopes make the hike a challenging one. At the peak, take rest and have your lunch. Here you will get a panoramic view of the Atlas. You will have to return to the point for spending the night at Timlilte village.

This morning, begin your final leg of our trek. You will make the steep descent down rocky paths, through almond groves and across flood plains. On your way down, pass by the tiny settlement of Sidi Chamharouche, with its Muslim shrine and the village of Aroumd. After lunch it’s time to bid farewell to your trekking team and head back to Marrakech. You will be back in time for dinner and some well deserved rest and relaxation!

Make the most of your free day to enjoy exploring Marrakech and its exotic sites including architectural beauty, the Koutoubia Mosque and the central square with world fame, Djemma el-Fna. Spicy and colorful aromas, snake charmers, fortune tellers, traders, all form part of this Square.

With breakfast ends your splendid Morocco trekking experience
