Climb Mt Toubkal
Experience Overview
Jebel Toubkal, Morocco’s highest peak, has captivated mountaineers for centuries. Our ascent up the rocky giant of North Africa — the tallest in the region — is no picnic, but is accessible to anyone in good shape and hungry for a thrilling high-altitude adventure. Traditional Amazigh communities line the route on this trip and you’ll have plenty of time to learn their customs through village visits and overnight camping with hearty home-cooked meals. The views on the way up are spectacular, but nothing compares to what you’ll see (and feel) at the top.
Highlights
- Walk in spectacular mountain scenery
- Taste delicious local cuisine
- Camp in the great outdoors
- Summit the spectacular peak of Mt. Toubkal.

Leave the plains around Marrakech, wind your way through the Moulay Brahim Gorge and the foothills of the western High Atlas Mountains. Pass the village of Asni to Imi Oughlad, where we meet our mules and muleteers to begin the trekking adventure.

Descend to the village of Imlil before travelling back to Marrakech for a free afternoon.
Take advantage of a few hours in the early evening to explore this wonderful city - perhaps for some serious bargaining for souvenirs.

Brisja S. - Traveled, July 2023
My trip to Peru with guides Washi and Jhon earlier this summer was life-changing. My subsequent trips to Cambodia and Morocco have both been good, but the guides have lacked the enthusiasm, passion and investment that my guides in Peru had. That inconsistency of experience makes me less likely than I was previously to recommend.

This is my fourth G Trip. The guides on other 3 trips were kind , caring & informative. The guide on this trip I believe is not consistent with G Adventures guides. I would still recommend G Adventures

The tour of amount Toubkal is an amazing experience. Even though the temperatures made the hiking tough, the price for the trip made it well worth the extra effort.

Loved the itinerary, CEO was great, tents at Toubkal need renewing (or at least the one we stayed in).
