Overview

Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on Exodus 5 Day Mt Toubkal Long Weekend. Mount Toubkal, known locally as Jebel Toubkal, stands 13,671ft (4,167m) above sea level and commands superb panoramic views of the High Atlas Mountains. This trek is an energetic way to spend a long weekend with just three days in the mountains to approach, summit and descend the highest peak in North Africa. Passing through a Berber village we gain an insight into the life and traditions of these hardy and friendly mountain people. After our trek, we return to Marrakech to explore this vibrant, energetic city.

Itinerary

The adventure begins in the imperial city of Marrakech. Depending on your arrival time, you may have the opportunity to independently explore this buzzing destination. Stay: Hotel Gomassine (or similar).

We leave Marrakech after breakfast and drive to the village of Imlil. We continue on foot to Arroumd, another beautiful village, around an hour's walk away. After lunch, we follow winding mule tracks for five hours, a stunning walk through the breath-taking mountain scenery of the valley of Ait Mizan. We may visit the Marabout of Sidi Chamharouch before continuing to Toubkal Base Camp (10,522ft/3,207m) for dinner. Stay: Les Muflons Refuge (or similar) Drive time: One and a half hours (B/L/D).

We start at 4am for our Toubkal ascent, walking over rocky paths as there is less vegetation at this altitude. There are long sections of scree, where the climb becomes challenging due to the loose rock. Once we pass the 13,125ft (4,000m) point, we can enjoy magnificent panoramas across the tranquil valleys and lower summits of the High Atlas range.

The achievement of standing on the summit is unforgettable and the views from the summit are magnificent. To the north we can see the fertile plains of the Magreb and Marrakech, and to the south, the wild, rugged landscape of the pre-Sahara. All around us are the many jagged peaks of the High Atlas stretching into the distance. We descend to the refuge for lunch, then continue our descent to Arroumd and our gite for the night. This is a long but extremely rewarding day of walking. Stay: Hotel Aremd (or similar) (B/L/D).

The short walk down to Imlil is followed by the drive back to Marrakech. You now have free time to take in the main city sights. Exploring the vibrant Djemaa el Fna square and the souk are a must for serious bargaining for souvenirs. Your Tour Leader will happily help you plan your time in Marrakech. Stay: Hotel Gomassine (or similar) Drive time: One and a half hours (B).

The tour ends after breakfast. If you'd like a little more time to explore Marrakech, speak to your sales representative about extending your stay (B).
