Mountain Atlas Toubkal Peak 4167m / Surfing / Attractions
01-08 October 2026
Morocco is a colorful country, with modern yet medieval cities, high mountains, vast deserts and beaches, labyrinthine souks, and tranquil corners. Whatever you’re looking for, it will enchant you.
Striking colors, fragrant spice markets, and an orchestra of urban sounds: Morocco might seem a bit overwhelming at first.
But it is utterly captivating and uniquely exotic.
Morocco, like the city of Marrakech, takes its name from the Berber phrase “mur (n) akuch,” meaning “Land of God.” Morocco’s history spans millennia, with fossils and signs of habitation dating back 315,000 years.
The Atlas mountain range, like the Atlantic Ocean, takes its name from the mythical Atlas, the Titan of Greek mythology who, after the Titanomachy, was punished to hold the earth on his shoulders at its western edge. The mountain’s highest peak, Toubkal, means “High Mountain” and reaches 4,167 meters.
With this trip, we will explore the Atlas mountain range, take a full desert road trip, and visit Morocco’s most important cities and monuments.
During the trip, we will experience significant temperature fluctuations. From temperatures near or below zero at the mountain peak, to over 30°C in the Sahara Desert.
