A typical Moroccan tour with Discover Ltd begins in Marrakech. You can fly direct with EasyJet from Gatwick, or with Ryanair from Stansted.

Located on a hilltop in the Toubkal National Park, this historic, award-winning boutique hotel has stunning mountain views, first-class accommodation, and a beautiful garden. Set in its own, self-contained Garden House, the apartment suite benefits from a deluxe double or twin room, a bathroom with a roll-top bath and shower, and a spacious living area featuring a fitted kitchen and a wood burner. There is also a huge glass wall opening out onto a balcony with beautiful views of waterfalls and the High Atlas. A private terrace offers a really idyllic place to enjoy breakfast, as well as direct access to the Kasbah garden.
The adventure really gets underway once the trek begins, with your own personal guide as well as a mule to carry luggage. You will explore the spectacular peaks of the High Atlas as well as remote Berber villages with their traditional, earthen mountainside houses. Accommodation during the trek will be at the Azzaden Trekking Lodge, where you will enjoy a comfortable ensuite room, a lounge with wood burning stove, and some incredible views as well as use of a small hammam. During the day, you will get to explore the local area in greater depth, discovering a people and a way of life that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years.
The tour ends with another chance to indulge in some rest and relaxation in the apartment suite at beautiful Kasbah du Toubkal once again, before your transfer back to Marrakech.
The Kasbah and Trekking Lodge Experience offers you a once in a lifetime opportunity to gain a real insight into a totally different way of life, and all without any of the hardships you’d usually associate with a trek through the Atlas Mountains.
