Marrakech – Marrakech
Welcome to Marrakech, the gateway to your Mount Toubkal adventure! As you land, the vibrant energy of this magical city sweeps you off your feet. Stroll through the enchanting Jardin Majorelle, where the colors pop like nowhere else, then marvel at the towering Koutoubia Mosque. As the sun sets, get lost in the buzzing Jemaa el-Fnaa square, where storytellers, snake charmers, and food stalls create a feast for the senses.
In the evening, join your fellow travelers and crew for a warm welcome dinner. This is the perfect opportunity to share your excitement, get to know each other, and hear about the adventures that lie ahead. After soaking in the sights, sounds, and flavors of Marrakech, retreat to your cozy riad for a restful night. Tomorrow, the real adventure begins!
After a hearty breakfast, it’s time to hit the road! A scenic drive takes you from the bustling streets of Marrakech to the tranquil Berber village of Imlil. Nestled in the heart of the High Atlas Mountains, Imlil welcomes you with open arms. Spend the day acclimatizing with a gentle hike around the village, taking in the stunning views and fresh mountain air. In the evening, meet your local guide and muleteers who will be your trusty companions for the trek ahead. Settle into your guesthouse, share stories over dinner, and get a good night’s sleep in preparation for tomorrow’s trek.
Today’s trek takes you through picturesque Aremd village, where life moves at a slower pace, and the mystical shrine of Sidi Chamarouch, a spiritual pit stop on your journey. As you ascend, the landscape changes, offering breathtaking views that make every step worth it. Pause for a picnic lunch amidst the stunning mountain scenery – the perfect fuel for the climb ahead. By late afternoon, you’ll arrive at the Toubkal Refuge. Here, you’ll find a warm meal, new friends, and a cozy place to rest. As night falls, the anticipation for tomorrow’s summit grows.
It’s an early start, but trust us, it’s worth it! Under a starry sky, you begin the final ascent to Mount Toubkal’s summit. The climb is challenging, but as the sun rises, bathing the peaks in golden light, you’ll feel on top of the world – quite literally! Reaching the summit, you’re rewarded with panoramic views that stretch as far as the eye can see. After celebrating your achievement and snapping those all-important summit selfies, it’s time to descend. Return to the refuge for a well-deserved lunch before continuing back down to Imlil. The descent is quicker, and by evening, you’ll be back in the village, ready to share your summit tales over dinner.
Enjoy a leisurely morning in Imlil, savoring the tranquility of the mountains. If you’re feeling adventurous, a short hike offers more stunning views. By afternoon, it’s time to return to the lively embrace of Marrakech. Back in the city, you have the evening free to explore more of its wonders or hit the souks for some last-minute shopping. Perhaps a final feast in the medina is in order? The city’s magic is even more captivating after your mountain adventure.
Your Moroccan adventure comes to an end today. Depending on your flight time, squeeze in some final sightseeing or a relaxing mint tea at a café. As you head to the airport, you’ll carry with you not just souvenirs, but memories of an epic journey through Marrakech and the majestic High Atlas Mountains.

Having a high level of physical fitness will make your climb easier and more enjoyable. To get ready for your Mount Toubkal trek, start by incorporating regular cardiovascular exercises such as hiking, running, or cycling into your routine for a few weeks leading up to the trip. Focus on building strength in your legs and core with targeted workouts to handle the climbs and descents. Additionally, do practice hikes to break in your boots and get comfortable carrying your daypack. This preparation will help ensure you’re fit and ready to fully enjoy the adventure.
For your health and safety during the Mount Toubkal trek, ensure you are in good health and consult your doctor about high-altitude trekking. Stay hydrated and follow your guide’s advice on acclimatization to prevent altitude sickness. Carry a personal first aid kit and any necessary medications. Travel insurance covering high-altitude trekking is highly recommended for peace of mind.
Trekking at high altitudes, like on Mount Toubkal, requires special attention to your body’s response to the thinner air. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
Acclimatization: Take your time to acclimatize by ascending gradually and allowing your body to adjust to the altitude. Spending an extra day at mid-altitude (like Imlil) can help.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Dehydration can worsen altitude sickness symptoms.
Symptoms of Altitude Sickness: Be aware of symptoms like headaches, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and shortness of breath. If you experience these, inform your guide immediately.
Rest and Nutrition: Get plenty of rest and eat a balanced diet to maintain your energy levels.
Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: These can dehydrate you and exacerbate altitude sickness symptoms.
Medication: Consider taking altitude sickness medication like acetazolamide (Diamox), but consult your doctor first.
Listen to Your Body: If you feel unwell, do not push yourself. Descend to a lower altitude if necessary.
Tipping is a customary way to show appreciation for the hard work and support provided by your guides, muleteers, and other support staff during your trek. Here are some guidelines to help you:
Tips are typically given at the end of the trek, during a final gathering or farewell dinner. This ensures everyone is present and allows you to express your gratitude personally.
