Day 1 Trip starts in Marrakech

Our tour of Morocco starts in the Red City. With its dusty rooftops, maze-like streets and bustling souks, Marrakech encompasses the essence of Morocco. Head to the Medina and people watch while you sip a mint tea in Jemaa el-Fna (the main square) or visit the Jardin ...

Day 2 Trek to Tizi Oussem via the Matate and Azaden Valleys

Leaving Marrakech behind, this morning we'll drive south towards the Imlil Valley and the craggy peaks of the Toubkal Massif. We'll begin our climb at the village of Aquersioul (1,600m/5250ft), hiking up into the Matate Valley and then on to the Tizi n'Oudite pass (2,...

Day 3 Trek to Aremd via the Tizi n'Mzik Pass

After breakfast this morning, we'll continue our walk along the valley before beginning a steady ascent up towards Tizi Mzik (2,489m/8166 ft). From this high mountain pass, we'll then begin our descent towards the village of Aremd (1,950m/6398ft). Built on a moraine s...

Day 4 Trek from Aremd to Neltner Refuge via Sidi Chamharouch

Continuing across the Mizane Valley, today we'll cross the flood plain and follow mule tracks up into the rocky cliffs above. Crossing the river, we'll come to the pastoral shrine of Sidi Chamharouch, set beside a tranquil waterfall and a jumbled cluster of village ho...

Setting off early, this morning we'll make our way to the summit of Jebel Toubkal (4,167m/13672ft). Our route takes us up the challenging south cirque, a steep climb across scree and rock that will lead us to the Tizi n'Toubkal saddle (3,975m/13,042ft), just a short w...

Day 6 Walk to Imlil and drive to Marrakech

Today, we'll retrace our steps down the mountain and head back towards Imlil. From there, we'll drive back to Marrakech, where we'll have free time to explore the Red City. Take in the pandemonium of Jemaa El-Fna (the main square) or delve into the spice-scented souks...
