Conquer the highest peak in North Africa just in 3 days challenging yourself into the audacious trek.
Mount Toubkal (4,167 m), the highest peak in the Atlas Mountains, Morocco, North Africa, and the Arab World, is located 63 km south of the beautiful city of Marrakech. It’s a trekking peak that involves no more than two days of climbing and walking in crampons holding an ice ax only for security.
The three-day voyage to climb Mt. Toubkal starts and finishes in the vibrant city of Marrakech. There’s an opportunity to snoop around the souks and mosques of Morocco’s most famous city. We approach the mountain from the road-end village of Imlil and enter into the Azzadene Valley passing Tizi N’Mzik at 2,450m, the refuge at Azib n’Tansoult and the Ighouliden waterfalls. Next, the route leads to fairly stiff climb out of the Azzadene Valley to the Toubkal Refuge over the Aguelzim Mountain pass at 3,560m. We do early climb up Toubkal at an altitude of 4,167 meters on the third day. The views from the summit are beautiful across the mountains to Marrakech to the north and over the Atlas Range and the Sahara Desert.
The climb to Mt. Toubkal is an excellent adventure for regular hikers who seek to experience Northern Africa’s highest peak and the culture of Marrakech.

Reviews
Everything was handled for us from the moment we landed. Our guide read the group perfectly, slowed the pace when we needed it, and knew every village along the way. I never once worried about logistics.
We travelled as a couple and the small group made all the difference. Comfortable lodges, honest advice about the altitude, and a team who clearly loved the mountains. Booking on our own dates was easy.
You can tell this is run by people from here, not a call centre abroad. The itinerary had proper rest days built in, the food was better than I expected, and the whole thing ran to time.
