Climbing Toubkal in Morocco
Posted in: cours d'anglais, By: admin, At: novembre 14th, 2008
In our little conversation group, there are two lucky people who went to Morocco on a trekking trip.
Here is the little sketch they wrote and some info about Morocco and trekking:
Trekking is one of the very best things Morocco has to offer. All of our tours travel to remote, off the beaten track areas, and to traditional Berber villages populated by friendly local people living a life that’s changed little over hundreds of years. If you want to trek in Morocco during the summer, head for the High Atlas to climb either Toubkal (4167m) North Africa’s highest peak, or Jebel Mgoun (4071m) North Africa’s second, or both. In the winter we head further south to walk in the Anti-Atlas or Jebel Saghro ranges. This is a popular option for those new to trekking or looking for a gentle one week holiday which combines the best of rural Morocco and the vibrant city of Marrakech.
