Situated in Marrakesh currently, I'm looking to hike up to the highest point in northern africa (Jebel Toubkal). I'll definitely be camping but if you're into hotels or only in it for a day trip that's cool. I'd also like to see the dunes at Merzouga.

As far as hiking goes I have a lot of experience (Andes, Himalayas, Rockies) and I'm no slowpoke (but it's ok if you are). Schedule-wise, I am afraid I can only go on weekends :(

Any takers?

More about Morocco

Morocco (Arabic: المغرب‎ "Al-Maghrib") is separated from Spain and Europe by nothing more than the needle-thin Strait of Gibraltar, but its position on the African continent has led to a more common association with the African world.
