Things to see and do High Atlas

The online tourist guide presents a 6-day hike in the Toubkal National Park. This hike, called "Randonnée Toubkal lac d'Ifni", proposes a loop circuit starting from Imlil, with an ascent to the summit of Toubkal at an altitude of 4165 meters. The trek is recommended for hikers in excellent physical condition, as it includes the crossing of several passes at over 3500 metres and a significant vertical drop. The hiking program includes discovering the valleys and passes of the Western Atlas, with splendid views of the Moroccan Atlas mountain range, typical villages clinging to the mountainside and encounters with Berber populations. The highlight of this tour is the ascent to the summit of Toubkal, North Africa's highest peak, offering magnificent views of the surrounding peaks and Marrakech. Services included in the price are road transfers between Marrakech and the starting point of the hike, accommodation in local gites and tents, meals during the hike, the services of muleteers and their mules, as well as the services of a cook and a qualified mountain guide. Drinks and personal expenses are not included in the price.

Built under the protectorate between 1929 and 1935, the dam allows the irrigation of 5,000 ha in the Haouz plain; it produces 10 million kWh annually and retains, on a 7 km long lake, 52 million ^m3 of water! But that doesn't impress the windsurfers who, in the summer, come to take a break on this generous body of water. It is even possible to rent jet skis for slalom slalom in front of the still amazed eyes of the old people of the village. The latter is very picturesque, built on a hillside, with steeply sloping streets.

Animals, hunters and weapons, appearing on numerous rock engravings, can be seen on this site inhabited in prehistoric times. Ask an inhabitant of the village, he will be happy to show them to you. Oukaïmeden is the westernmost part of the National Park of rock engravings inaugurated in 1994. The Igountar side is one of the sites known for its concentration of paintings. The park includes Jebel Yagour, where you can see many geometric patterns from the Bronze Age. It extends to the province of Azilal in the east.

In this one-hectare bio-aromatic garden, you will discover about fifty species of aromatic, medicinal and ornamental plants grown mainly in the region. Situated at an altitude of 840 m, it was created in 1998 by two Moroccan brothers with a passion for plants and cosmetics. Visits are organized to get to know or recognize these different plants and to become better acquainted with their medical, aromatic and cosmetic uses.

Jalil is an artist who works around sculpture and recycling. Some of his works are monumental, you cannot miss them by leaving the village, others can take away under your arm (and don't cost too much). We advise you to stop, the visit is worth a look! Paintings, drawings and sculptures are loaded with history and anecdotes that you can discover through the fascinating stories of the artist Jalil Benlaassal. You can also see your team working. A nice meeting.
