Walking holidays in Morocco
With peaks rising to over 4000 metres, the Atlas Mountains boast a wealth of excellent opportunities for trekking and walking in Morocco. Mount Toubkal at 4167 metres provides us with a number of superb itineraries to climb to the highest point in Northern Africa. The Atlas Mountains are also home to the Berber people, a fascinating race who have herded livestock in the high valleys of the Atlas for many centuries. South and east of the High Atlas several subsidiary ranges meet with the sands of the great Sahara Desert. The Jebel Sahro is one such range, with 2500 metre peaks and a number of well-established treks, perfect during the winter months. Morocco also has a long Atlantic coastline, with lots of great places to chill out after a trek, such as the old fortified port of Essaouira. With its Berber, Arab and French influences, Morocco presents an interesting cultural mix whilst the ancient and exotic ochre city of Marrakech remains true to its romantic image. Each evening in its central square of the Djemaa el-Fna, dancers, snake charmers, storytellers and assorted tradesmen vie for the attention of the bedazzled visitor.
With a flight time of just under 3 hours Morocco is one of the closest culturally diverse destinations to the UK. Its rich and varied culture, exceptional hospitality and varied geographical regions, make Morocco an obvious choice for an unforgettable trekking holiday.
