Mount Toubkal Private 2 Days Trek From Marrakech
Overview
Experience 2 days of exhilarating treks with this guided tour to Mount Toubkal.
The range includes Jbel Toubkal, which at 4,167 m is the highest in the range and lies in Toubkal National Park.
The range serves as a weather system barrier in Morocco running east-west and separating the Sahara’s climatic influences, which are particularly pronounced in the summer, from the more Mediterranean climate to the north, resulting in dramatic changes in temperature across the range.
In the higher elevations in the range snow falls regularly, allowing winter sports. Snow lasts well into late spring in the High Atlas, mostly on the northern faces of the range.

It was the first time I climbed a mountain, the road was a bit tough for a beginner like me but it was very interesting to see.Everything was amazing from the start till the end.You just have to start a bit early from imlil village so you make it in 5 or 6 hours to the refugee camp. Try to avoid carrying heavy stuffs because it will slow you down, there are mules you that carry your stuff for you it is absolutely a beautiful trip.

It was really difficult to get on top for me, as I don't have any experience in mountaineering, but it was worth.
