Ninety minutes from Marrakech and a completely different country. Walnut orchards, stone villages, snowmelt streams, and Jebel Toubkal rising to 4,167 metres — the highest peak in North Africa.
You can do the High Atlas as a day trip from Marrakech (a lunch in a Berber home, an easy two-hour walk), or you can give it two nights and trek to Toubkal base camp. Either way, the silence and the star-filled skies are the part you’ll remember.
