Itinerary

The "High Atlas Trek" offers a true Moroccan mountain adventure, expertly blending challenging trekking with cultural exploration. Over 10 days, starting and ending in Marrakech, this guided trip is tailored for experienced trekkers and adventurous travelers eager to conquer North Africa’s highest peak, Jebal Toubkal (4,167m).

Beyond scaling Toubkal, the itinerary delves into the rich traditions of Berber villages, with trails leading through alpine pastures and beneath the imposing High Atlas peaks. Time in Marrakech allows for exploration of bustling souks, ornate palaces, and the medina’s winding alleyways, providing a fascinating cultural counterpoint to the rugged mountain experience.

The unique selling point of this trekking tour is its perfect balance of physical challenge and cultural immersion, culminating in the rewarding ascent of Morocco’s highest summit—an achievement to savor for years to come.

I wanted to share my positive experience with Bookmundi regarding my recent 18-day 'Zen and Scenic Japan' tour. The booking process was remarkably easy and hassle-free, which was a huge relief. The customer service team deserves special praise for their patience and polite responses to my many questions, making me feel fully supported. The tour was more affordably priced than similar ones from other companies, and the bonus program was an appreciated addition. Because of this excellent experience, Bookmundi has earned a permanent client. Thank you for such a great journey.
