2-Day Toubkal Trek – From Imlil to North Africa’s Highest Peak

Day 1: Marrakech – Imlil (1,700 m) – Around (1,940 m) – Toubkal Refuge (3,207 m)
Departure from Marrakech by vehicle to Imlil, the starting point of your trek. Meet your guide and muleteers before beginning your first day of hiking. The trail climbs steadily past the Around village and the Marabout Sidi Chamharouch, a sacred site visited by pilgrims from across Morocco seeking healing and blessings. Enjoy a traditional mint tea break along the way, then continue your hike south to the Toubkal Refuge. Arrive for lunch, settle your luggage, and relax after 4–5 hours of walking. Overnight stay at Refuge Toubkal.

Day 2: Toubkal Refuge (3,207 m) – Toubkal Summit (4,167 m) – Imlil (1,700 m) – Marrakech
Start very early for the ascent of Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa at 4,167 m. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views: to the south, the Siroua massif, known for its saffron fields; to the west, Mount Mgoun, and on clear days, the plains of Haouz and surrounding peaks. After reaching the summit, descend back to Imlil. The hike takes approximately 9–10 hours depending on group pace. Upon arrival, transfer back to Marrakech.
