... our next destination - Imlil.   The first part of our drive was up and over the Tizi n' Tichka pass - the highest in Morocco at 2260m.  On the way up it was pretty desolate, grey and rocky, the barriers along the side of the road were broken ...

chillax day in Imlil ... wet, cold and raining
May 17, 2008

After one look outside I decided a 5hr walk was not for me - it was cold, wet, foggy and miserable - a perfect day to stay indoors and chillax.   I had a nice sleep in then red for a bit in bed.   I borrowed the laptop again and ...

Full day in Imlil today - took another little walk (only an hour this time, although still UPHILL!), up to the next village and had tea on a terrace overlooking the highest peak. Can't ask for anything more than that! Currently stuffed after having ...

Jebel Toubkal
Sep 6, 2007 (31 photos)

Tallest mountain in West Africa.  Probably the highlight of Morocco for me.  I'm not sure of the mountain's height or how far I hiked because I didn't really care.  I was just ready to get out of the city.  My companions, Brian and ...

The Jebel Toubkal Trek - I hurt!!
Aug 2, 2007 (10 photos)

Imlil is great - we stayed at a place a little way out of the village itself, (Gite Tamatert Belle Vue, or something. Guys called Rashid, Mohammed, and one that we met in Marrakech called Jamal) but it was totally worth the extra 20 minutes walk up ...

My two weeks in Morocco were drawing to a end and I only had one day until the AUMC descended from the Toubkal refuge back down to Imlil. The day before we had been up Jbel Toubkal, but now I was looking for more of a challenge- somewhere away from the ...

Imlil
Nov 14, 2008 (1 photos)

Left fairly late this morning by most standards, and took a private minibus from Ait Benhaddou to Imlil - again going up into the snow. We went via the Tizi n Tichki pass which had some great views. Not a very exciting day of travel, but it was good to ...

The High Atlas
Jun 22, 2009

We had a brief stay near this really old Kasbah that has been featured in many many movies. Damned if I remember the name of it. We stayed at this place with this guy who called himself "Action". He has been an extra in ten movies now. He was rather ...

The last 1,000m to 4,165m
Jul 1, 2007

It's not really Imlil, but it's the closest town I can point to. Started at 5:30 AM, the summit at 9:15 and back in Imlil by 4:30 PM - so that would be a lot of hiking.
