Trekking in the Atlas Mountains
We’re looking for three or four people to join us on a 2-week adventure holiday in Morocco. We’re meeting up in Marrakech on 27 April and spending 10 days walking and camping in the Atlas Mountains.
We’re planning to climb Mount Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa, visit Berber villages and travel through a section of the Sahara Desert. We’re also planning to go horse-riding and mountain-biking and we may also get the chance to ride a few camels! We’ll spend the last 2-3 days exploring the fabulous city of Marrakech.
Ideally, you should be in your twenties or thirties with an outgoing personality and a sense of adventure. You should be good at getting on well with people and making friends easily. You should be very fit and have some experience of walking with a backpack in mountainous areas.
If this sounds like the trip for you, email us at the address below and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
