This 5-day tour offers you an unforgettable experience between two fascinating worlds of southern Morocco: the peaks of the High Atlas and the Saharan landscapes of Merzouga. After ascending the legendary Mount Toubkal (4167 m), the highest peak in North Africa, you will cross lush valleys and Berber villages to reach the vast desert expanses of the south. This journey will let you discover an incredible variety of landscapes — from majestic mountains to lush oases, from ochre earthen kasbahs to golden dunes — while enjoying a deep immersion in Berber culture and hospitality.
After breakfast, transfer by comfortable vehicle to the Toubkal Massif. Arrival at the village of Imlil (1740m). Meet your muleteers and cook.
