Jebel Toubkal is North Africa’s highest mountain. It has been a target for mountain climbers
since the 1920’s when the Club Alpin Francis founded a branch in Casablanca and European
adventurers started discovering High Atlas Mountains. The path leading from Imlil directly to
Jebel Toubkal is a perfect choice for those who want to get straight on top. This two-day trek
with an overnight stay in a mountain refuge and an early morning set off for the peak provides
marvelous moments observing the silent beauty of the rocks lit up with the sun’s first rays.
