Kasbah du Toubkal, Marrakesh

Perched at roughly 4000 feet in the shade of Mount Toubkal (the highest peak of the Atlas Mountains), this inn/retreat is 40 miles from Marrakesh. The surrounding grand mountain landscapes serve to enhance the perception of the inn as an untouchable fortress. Kasbah du Toubkal is a hotel, restaurant, and a tour organizer all-in-one - if you're just interested in scaling mountains, you can opt to check in just for a few hours. The inn provides excursions through the Parc National de Toubkal, complete with official mountain guides!
