mount Toubkal trek- 5 days-4 nights

Toubkal trek and Sahara desert trip
trekking Morocco

5 days mount toubkal overview:


MT. Toubkal is the highest peak in North Africa with a summit of 4167m/13,600 ft. The Toubkal trek allows stunning views of the Atlas Mountains, Berber Villages, and verdant green valleys. It is a great adventure for 3 days of trekking, was designed for keen walkers who want to mix a bit of backcountry into their Moroccan adventure. The Mount Toubkal trek is non-technical and involves uphill hiking, some easy scrambling, and snow slopes. The views from the summit of Toubkal are amazing as you can see across the mountains to Marrakech to the north and the start of the Sahara desert to the south. Our trail will lead you to explore the Azzadene and Wawgant valley, which is two main valleys of the Atlas tucked between the high peaks of Toubkal. Plus, this trail avoids the heavily trekked approach and avoids going up and down the same way.
