We wake up this morning with the mission to find Djebel Toubkal, at 4167m the highest peak in North Africa. Setting off from Ouarzazate towards Tacheddirt and Sour, and from there Westsouthwest towards Imlil. This passage takes you through beautiful scenery and impressive brown mud-house villages.

Here is a little reptile friend we made on route:

Nestled in-between these mountains is a beautiful town Tiourar, that I can only recommend to any off-the-beaten-track traveller.

Progress today was slower than anticipated so the search for Toubkal must continue tomorrow. In the meantime we have found a small roadside hotel and we negotiate setting up tent on the roof. Katherine argues we just had the best Tagine EVER in Morocco.
