Jbel Toubkal

The 4,167-meter summit of Monte Tubqal rises from the Atlas Mountains, forming the highest point in North Africa and the Arab world.

French explorers Marquis de Segonzac, Vincent Berger, and Hubert Dolbeau completed the first documented ascent of Monte Tubqal on June 12, 1923.

The mountain path passes through Berber settlements, where local residents maintain traditional agricultural practices and shepherd livestock in the surrounding valleys.

Travelers reach the mountain through the village of Imlil, where they can find mountain guides, equipment rentals, and accommodations before starting their ascent.

The mountain's geological composition differs from the rest of the High Atlas, featuring volcanic formations that create deep valleys and alpine ridges.
