Overview

Duration
8 days
Starts in
Casablanca
Ends in
Casablanca

This 8-day tour combines Morocco's two great landscapes, the mountains and the desert, for travellers who like to walk. From Casablanca you go to Marrakech, then up to Imlil, a Berber village at the foot of Toubkal, North Africa's highest peak. With a local mountain guide you spend two days hiking between villages, passes and walnut valleys, sleeping in a mountain guesthouse. Then you cross the High Atlas to Ait Ben Haddou, walk in the Dades valley and reach Merzouga for a camel trek and a night in the dunes of Erg Chebbi. A long drive takes you back to Marrakech and Casablanca. Moderate fitness is enough; luggage is carried by mule.
