It begins with a steep ascent at the beginning through a narrow valley with lots of rocks and stones, vegetation is very rare at this altitude. Then the trail climbs steadily and after another steep ascent you reach the large ridge from where you reach easily the summit -the culminating point of Northern Africa and Morocco, the Toubkal peak of 3975 m (11 925 ft)!

Today we are led by our expert city guide (not your trek leader) to discover the soul of Marrakesh. We walk at first directly to the Bab ed Debbarh where we visit the tanneries. Then we continue to the Medersa Ben Youssef for a visit (entry fee included). The Ben Youssef Medersa, an Islamic school attached to the Ben Youssef Mosque, is home to some of the most beautiful art and architecture in Marrakesh. The medersa, where students memorized the Qur'an, was founded by the Merenid Sultan Abou el Hassan in the 14th century. It was, however, almost completely rebuilt under the Saadians and it is they who made their distinctive mark in its architecture and art. After this visit we walk through the souks to the place Djemaa el Fna and finally we stop in front of the Koutoubia Mosque where the guided tour ends at approx. 12:00.
