Toubkal's climate is pretty cold and snowy in the winter and up to April, and from then it gets a kind of hotter and the snow starts to melt. You'd better take enough warm clothes. In the summer, like elsewhere in Morocco, expect hot temperatures at lower altitudes.

  • Jbel Toubkal. The park's highest peak at 4167 m, and a popular climb. It is the highest mountain in Africa outside the 20 or so higher ones concentrated roughly between Ethiopia and Burundi.

When you get to Toubkal National Park, don't miss the opportunity to climb to its highest peak. The mountain seems to be hard to climb but, in fact, it deserves all the tiredness. When you get to the summit, you'll forget all what you've been through just being looking around you and seeing the greatness of that landscape. If you want to take a stone or something else as a souvenir from there, it is legal.
