No trip to Morocco is complete without a camel ride. Enjoy a private full-day excursion into the Atlas Mountains on the back of one of a 'ship of the desert.' For centuries, camels were a traditional means of transport in North Africa before motorized vehicles replaced them, and donkeys, as primary modes for carrying people and goods. The guided excursion also includes lunch and a short hike through some traditional Berber villages.
It has several peaks over 4,000 m (2.5 mi), including the highest summit in North Africa, Toubkal (4,167 m (13,671 ft)) and further east Ighil m'Goun (4,071 m (13,356 ft)) the second major summit of the range. At the Atlantic and to the southwest, the range drops abruptly and makes a transition to the coast and the Anti-Atlas range. To the north, in the direction of Marrakesh, the range descends less abruptly. On the heights of Ouarzazate the massif is cut through by the Draa Valley which opens southward. It is mainly inhabited by Berber people, who live in small villages and cultivate the high plains of the Ourika Valley.
It is a favourite place for mountain trekkers, Imlil is just a five-hour hike from the base of Jebel Toubkal, and in spring you won’t want to miss waking up in these flowering High Atlas foothills.
