Trips and Excursions
Here at Hip Marrakech we also offer a variety of excursion and tours in and around Marrakech from day trips to the Atlas Mountains to day trips to the desert. Here are a few examples of the trips and excursions we offer:
Essaouira
Previously known by its Portuguese name Mogador, a fortress still commands the entrance to the harbour and the Medina itself has walled ramparts. Essaouira is usually much cooler than Marrakech and can be windy at times, it is no coincidence that the world wind surf championships are held here.
Price: £92 for 1 to 4 people
Duration: A day trip of approximately 10 hours
Imlil, High Atlas
Also highly recommended is a trip to the high Atlas village of Imlil, gateway to the magnificent Jbel Toubkal crowning wonder of the Atlas range and the tallest mountain in North Africa.
Price: £62 for 1 to 4 people
Duration: A day trip of approximately 7 hours
Toubkal Ascent Trek
Mount Toubkal is the second highest peak in Africa and the highest in North Africa. At an altitude of 4,167m climbing Toubkal is a fantastically rewarding challenge. The ascent of Toubkal isn’t technical so as long as you are reasonably fit you stand a decent chance of making it to the top.
Price: For a group of 2 people €294 May to Oct. and €348 Nov. to April
Duration: A Trip of 2 Days and 1 Night
Even if you are not booking your accommodation through Hip Marrakech, you can book your trip an excursion with us here.
