Gîte Le Toubkal

Toubkal National Park


Aroumd's original guesthouse remains popular among tour groups and independent travellers alike thanks to comfortable rooms and plenty of common spaces in which to stretch out and relax before or after a hike. The best feature is the tree-lined courtyard patio, which makes a fine place to unwind. However, the paucity of showers may be a problem when the house is full.

Half-board is available for an additional Dh100.
