Mount Toubkal

Mount Toubkal is the highest mountain in North Africa (4,167m), located in Morocco. The full trip takes 2–4 days depending on how you plan it. It's a moderate hike — no climbing skills needed, and anyone in reasonable shape can do it. Avoid weekends (crowded), respect the local culture, and support locals by hiring a guide and buying from village shops
