CAF Toubkal Refuge

Toubkal National Park


The CAF’s Toubkal Refuge suffers from overcrowding, damp and a lack of facilities: queues for showers and toilets are unacceptable in busy periods. Breakfast, lunch and dinner (Dh30/50/70) are available and there’s a small shop selling chocolate, cola, biscuits and other limited supplies.
