Experience an exhilarating trek to the roof of North Africa
This trek is an energetic way to spend a long weekend by taking just two days to summit and descend the highest peak in North Africa. With our accommodation based in the Berber village of Imlil, right in the heart of the majestic Atlas mountains, we gain a valuable insight into the life and traditions of the Berber people. Once our mission is accomplished, our trip will end with the exploration of the vibrant and colourful souks of mystical Marrakech.
