7-Day Jebel Toubkal – Hiking Tour from Marrakech

Overview

Pass through Berber hamlets and Berber towns! If you are in good physical condition and you want to reach a 4167 meters high peak, challenge yourself to rise the highest peak in Morocco! Spend 7 days exploring the valleys of the Atlas Mountains. Many of the treasures of this region are tucked away atop remote mountains or at the bottom of deep valleys; this means that trekking is the ideal way to explore the area. This trekking tour is challenging yet a rewarding experience. These off beaten tracks most tourists never see. Also, we will trek with a English speaking guide, a Berber cook, muleteers and mules to carry our luggage. It’s a challenging walk rather than a climb. * Main measures to comply with requirements against COVID – 19: • Sanitizing hand rub available in all our vehicles • Protective face masks will be distributed to each passenger • Surfaces of the vehicule will be wiped with disinfectant after each use • Driver and/or guide will wear masks and gloves during the journey Close encounter with wildlife Get up-close to native wildlife See native wildlife in their natural environment Soak up the atmosphere on a walking tour Led by a local guide Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience from US$883.31 Lowest Price Guarantee Check Availability
