Imlil Trip Overview
Most high atlas trekkers make Jbel Toubkl (4167m/13,670ft), the highest peak in North Africa, their first goal. Indeed, in season about 90℅ of trekkers in the Atlas Mountain are likely to be in the Toubkal Region at any one time. Toubkal is easy to reach from Marrakech and the summit can be tackled in just a couple of days, although it would be wiser to allow more time for acclimatisation. This is a stark but exceptionally striking region. The views from the summit of Toubkal provide a wonderful opportunity to see the Atlas Mountains forming a spine across the length of Morocco, dividing a gleaming Atlantic coast to the north and west from the scorching vastness of Saharan Africa to the south and east.
