HIKE MOUNT TOUBKAL
/ per person
(1 Review)
On this adventure you’ll get a feel for local culture as you bed down in traditional guesthouses, passing by waterfalls, juniper forest and a sacred Muslim shrine. Your final ascent is dramatic, involving a dawn scramble over rocky screes. But the magnificent “roof of North Africa” at 4,167 metres is more than worth the effort, revealing a vast panorama that stretches from the Sahara to the Atlantic coast. For good measure, we’ll top and tail the whole trip with a great hotel in Marrakech, complete with luxury hammam treatments and a courtyard pool. An epic achievement with a hint of decadence in the mix. As it should be
