Toubkal Mountain Expedition
Day 1:
Pick up from Marrakech Airport and transfer straight to
Imlil. This drive takes about 1 1/2 hours.
We overnight at Imlil Lodge or similar.
Day 2:
After breakfast, we start our trek heading along the Mizane
Valley. Passing the village of Aremd, we head across the flood plains and up
into the high rocky cliffs towards the Shrine of Sidi Chamarouch. From here, we head up to the refuge where we
spend the night. In summer we camp in
tents and in winter we stay at the refuge.
Day 3:
An early start as we make our attempt on the summit of Jebel Toubkal,
the highest peak in Northern Africa. Our route takes us up the south cirque,
crossing the stream above the refuge.
The walking is relatively straightforward, and we will take it easy as we
cross the scree slopes and on to the summit.
The views from the top are breathtaking, weather permitting of course.
From the Marrakesh Plains to the High Atlas in the North, and as far south as
the Anti-Atlas and the Sahara, the scenery is amazing.
We then head back down to the refuge where we will spend
another night.
Day 4:
Today, we head back towards Imlil and transfer to Marrakesh
where we spend the night at a riad in the medina of Marrakech.
Day 5:
Today is a day of sightseeing. We will be doing a Marrakesh excursion, maybe
a camel ride in the desert and spending time at the souks. The famous
markets. Remember, it's all about the
bartering here. If you're very good at
it, you can buy our shopping as well!
Day 6:
Transfer to airport and return to the UK.
