Refuge Azib Tamsoult

Toubkal National Park


This new place at the bottom of Azib Tamsoult (2250m) has three private en suite rooms and around 50 dorm beds. It's a pleasant alternative to camping, though the two hot showers and toilet can get busy during peak season. Electricity is available in the evenings only.
