Mount Toubkal Climb – 3 Days

Start an awe-inspiring adventure of climbing Mount Toubkal, North Africa's highest peak at 4,167 meters, nestled in the picturesque High Atlas Mountains. Contrary to its impressive height, the ascent to the summit is relatively straightforward for hiking enthusiasts. It requires no prior mountaineering experience.

The rewarding panoramic vista from the top is a testament to the journey's fulfillment, making every step worth the breathtaking views.

Embark on this unforgettable 3-day expedition, available year-round, starting just 1 and 1/2 hours away from Marrakesh, in the charming village of Imlil, situated at 1,740 meters above sea level. From Imlil, you meet your experienced team and set out on an exhilarating hike toward the summit of Mount Toubkal, taking in the breathtaking views of the High Atlas Mountains along the way.

    I completed a three-day climb to Mount Toubkal, and the entire trip was fantastic. Initially, it was supposed to be two of us with a guide, but on the first day, my fellow climber found it too challenging and decided not to continue. This left just me and our guide, Yassin. Yassin was exceptional. He matched my pace perfectly, was incredibly encouraging, and had a great sense of humor. His ability to speak four different languages added a unique and impressive touch to the experience. Yassin’s guidance and support truly made the climb enjoyable and memorable. I had the best time ever on this trip and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.
    I highly recommend this climb and Omar Adventures as everything was organized well, food was good (thanks to cook Hassan), comms were great.

  4. Guillaume Bron:

    This trip was exceptionally organised. The transport was perfectly on time. In Imlil we met Yassine, who was a great guide and gave plenty of assistance with crampons etc. to some beginners among us. We got so much food and tea from Yassine and Mohammed, the chef. All of us really enjoyed it. Did it in early November and was perfect.

  5. Karim:

    Such a wonderful trek to mount Toubkal 😍. I really enjoyed the hike,food and vibes…

  6. Sarah:

    Excellent trip, with excellent guides, food and transportation. We were well looked after throughout the whole experience.

    We were lucky that all the people on the trip had a good level of fitness which always makes it more enjoyable.

    However, being experienced hikers we knew the type of kit we would need to be able to hike comfortably. Some didn’t have appropriate clothing and suffered with the cold, which is potentially dangerous.

    I would recommend a kit list. Hiking poles, head torch, warm full length trousers, long sleeved base layer, warm mid layer, windproof jacket, winter gloves, warm hat.

  7. Nelson:

    We recently returned from our 3 day trip to climb mount Toubkal and our first 4000+ high mountain.

    We have had an amazing experience thanks to our guide Mohamed and muleteer (and chef) Omar.

    We highly recommend Mohamed if you want to have fun and make jokes. Be sure you like Berber whiskey (tea) because you will have to drink a lot of it.
    Thank you Omar for arranging this lifetime trek for us.

  8. Iro B:

    Best thing I’ve ever done. So sad it’s over. Once in a lifetime experience.

  9. Sophie H:

    Our guide, the group, the tour was everything I could have hoped for, and more! I am so grateful to have met such incredible people all whilst summitting the highest mountain in North Africa. Unforgettable memories and a new found love for Morocco. Thank Omar Adventures team…
