During the break I got to spend time in my friend's new hotel - Jnane Toubkal, near Imlil. It has stunning views up and down the valley including Berber villages, town of Imlil and is topped by the pyramid-shaped peak of Mt Toubkal, after which it is named. These views can be seen through the windows or from one of the four terraces. Presently there are four ensuite rooms plus one room with a shard bathroom and a dormitory room with mattresses on the floor. The entire hotel follows a Berber theme from be constructed in traditional way to the use of wrought iron on the windows, wooden furniture and doors carved with Berber symbols and zellij tiling. These is also a restaurant serving traditional food. It is a place in which it is easy to relax or alternatively use it as a base for hiking in the mountains. Here are some photos.
