North Africa's highest peak calls to be climbed
Jebel Toubkal stands 4167m above the mighty Atlas Ranges ofĀ Morocco.Ā Itās a mountain that has captivated adventurers for centuries ā a stark ascent through lowland floodplains, charming Amazigh villages and rocky gorges strewn with snow. The climb is not for the faint of heart, but the sweeping views from the peak, across the jagged line of theĀ Atlas MountainsĀ and theĀ SaharaĀ beyond, must be seen to be believed.Ā

Mount Toubkal Long Weekend Trek

An amazing intro to Morocco and a trip that felt longer than it actually was (in a good way!). I had never climbed a mountain this high but it was a great experience in the hands of very capable and friendly guides. Thank you!

This was a fantastic trip, with a challenging but rewarding trek through dramatic landscape. It felt like a proper adventure, but always in the safe hands of our guide. Loved exploring Marrakech, and would definitely recommend leaving an extra day to enjoy the city to the full. Thank you Intrepid for an amazing experience!

Just returned from a brilliant trip to Mount Toubkal. Summit day was a challenge but well worth it with amazing views of the mountains and desert. We were lucky enough to have a great group and Abdul, our leader, always went the extra mile to make sure everyone enjoyed the trip.

Great trip overall! Summiting was definitely the highlight and our trip leader Adbe was so knowledgeable and helpful. While I enjoyed the itinerary, I wish I had chosen the shorter Toubkal itinerary. This trip seems to be catered for those who want a more relaxing trip and hike. There is quite a lot of downtime in the village of Armoud, with not much to do, and the actual hiking was extremely slow (you might be hiking x hrs, but not going very far). The āacclimatisation hikeā was only around 2500m and despite being nice and having a beautiful view, didnāt seem to provide any benefits in terms of acclimatizing the 4000m summit.

Amazing experience 5 stars! I canāt recommend the Mount Toubkal long weekend trip enough. Especially with Omar our leader you made it so incredible. Also thank you to Mohamed who helped us as well.
Ps. A good standard of fitness is required. The fitter you are the more you will enjoy this, but it is very achievable to many people!
