HIGH ATLAS AMBITIONS

Trek the snow-capped High Atlas Mountains’ highest peak, Mount Toubkal (13,671ft). The pay-off at the summit is priceless: endless views reaching across to the Sahara Desert. At the final stop, rose-walled Marrakech, there’s time to visit the souks and get lost in the city’s labyrinthine streets.

A five-day Mount Toubkal Trek is available from Global Adventure Challenges (01244 676454; globaladventurechallenges.com) including full-board accommodation, tents and camping equipment, transfers and flights. Departs Aug 7 2019.
