MDA has been supporting Australia's MD Community by providing unparalleled access to Services, Support and firstclass Respite programs for the last 25 years. Join the adventure today and help raise much needed funds for MDA. At 4,167m, Mount Toubkal is the highest mountain in North Africa. The hike to the summit is challenging, but requires no mountaineering experience and the panoramic view from the summit makes the hard work worthwhile. With the start of the trek just a couple of hours drive from Marrakech, you can reach the summit and back within 2 days and still have plenty of time to explore Morocco's most captivating city, Marrakech. Toubkal has become a magnet for trekkers heading to the Atlas Mountains. The Jebel Toubkal trek is typically done in two days. The first day begins with the relatively easy walk from Imlil along the Mizane Valley towards Aremd Village and the Muslim shrine of Sidi Chamarouch, followed by the tougher push up to the Toubkal Refuge, making around five hours walking in all. Most trekkers then aim to start early the following morning for the 3 hour scramble up to the summit (the trail at this point is a rocky scree covered path). At the summit, the views are incredible taking in most of the Atlas Mountains and on a clear day, the Sahara. The descent back down to Imlil takes around five hours.

3 ChallengeMD! Morocco Page 3 Itinerary Day 1: Depart Australia to Morocco on overnight flight Depart Melbourne. Arrive Marrakech in evening of the same day due to time difference. Overnight at a comfortable traditional Riad in the city. Meals included: Dinner Day 2: Explore Marrakech guided tour of the city in the morning. This morning we ll take a walk to see some of the sights of Marrakech such as the famous souks, the ancient Medina and the great square of Djemaa El Fna. The DJemaa el-fna owes most of its fame to the large number of spectacles going on all around all the time. Snake charmers, singers, story tellers, healers and fakirs attract a dominantly Moroccan audience. The food stalls take over the D Jemaa as soon as the orange juice sellers have packed up and gone home and an incredible array of Moroccan dishes is on offer to tempt you. We stop at The Bahia Palace, the Jewish Quarter and Koutoubia mosque. Weaving our way through winding alleyways we will begin to leave the usual tourist trail behind us as we make for the ancient souks, or workshops. Here in the narrow labyrinthine alleyways amid the sounds, sights and smells of this artisan quarter you will feel as if you are stepping back in time. The rest of the day is free for you to explore the city and we meet again back at our Riad for dinner and a briefing on our adventure which begins tomorrow! Day 3: Marrakech Imi oughlad Tizi n tachte Tiziane. Early morning departure from Marrakech for a pleasant drive south winding our way up through the Moulay Brahim gorge and upper valleys to arrive at the higher foothills of the western High Atlas Mountains and our trailhead of Imi oughlad (1450m) with the jbel Toubkal, at 4167m the highest peak in North Africa, Aglzim 3650m and Aksoual 38847m, looming before us.

We traverse the Tizi n tagdalte to the descent amongst the juniper trees till we come to a small spring set amongst the trees, where we will stop for our picnic. Once refreshed, we are off down winding tracks of upper slopes for some three hours to come to a small river at the beginning of the valley of assif n Ait ouaszden. From here we enter the village of Tizi oussem (1850m) then up to the summer village Of Tamsoult for our camp. Day 6: Aazib Tamsoult-Tizi Aguelzim- Toubkal Refuge.

Day 7: Toubkal Refuge - Summit- Sidi Chamharouch - Imlil. A very early breakfast to set out around 6am to attain after a three hour steep climb, the highest peak in the Maghreb (4167m). The panorama from here is simply stunning. Whenever you are ready, we shall take the Ikkhibi Sud or South Cirque for a straightforward - with your guide - 2 to 3 hour descent back to the Refuge for a picnic. After lunch we set off towards the north along steeply descending, zigzagging trails of the higher slopes of the Valley of the Assif n'isouhouanem n'ouagounss towards the Shrine of Sidi Chamharouch. Set beside a waterfall, there is a pilgrimage 'marabout' shrine here, probably the remnant of a pre-islamic culture.

Late check out and transfer to the airport for the long flight home. Alternatively if you are staying on we can extend your flight and book more accommodation for you in Marrakech. Meals included: Breakfast Please note due to the time difference it will take around a day and a half to return back into Australia. Accommodation Accommodation is a mixture of hotels, refuges and camping and we have chosen the best that are available in the more remote locations. Generally speaking, the accommodation on this trip is a good standard though some patience may be required in the smaller hotels and refuges where the plumbing and standards of English may not always be as you like it! Extra accommodation We can book additional accommodation after the tour in Marrakech at competitive rates. Please book extra nights when you book your tour if you are planning to stay longer after the tour ends. Meal Inclusions Most meals are included in this trip and the food is generally of an excellent quality. Please refer to the itinerary for exact inclusions. We like to sample the best of local dishes and produce so you enjoy an authentic taste of the region which you re travelling through. Moroccan cuisine is extremely diverse, thanks to Morocco's interaction with other cultures and nations over the centuries. Moroccan cuisine has been subject to Berber, Moorish, and Arab influences

6 ChallengeMD! Morocco Page 6 Transport Any transport required is generally by private air-conditioned vehicle. Physical Rating Moderate- Demanding You don t need to be a highly experienced mountain trekker to join this trip but a good level of fitness is required to participate fully. Be prepared for moderate to strenuous physical activity as you will be trekking between 8 and 9 hours on some days with steep accents and descents. Pre-trip training is essential to get the most from your adventure but no technical skills are needed to enjoy the trip. You can visit our online trekking guide to get some tips and training recommendations: Visas Please note that visas are the responsibility of the individual traveller. The visa requirements for your trip vary depending on where you are from and where you are going. We keep the following information up to date as much as possible, but rules do change. It is important that you check for yourself. If you would like someone to take the hassle out of your visa application please visit the following website: Morocco: Australian travelers are not required to obtain a tourist Visa for Morocco for stays less than 90 days. Travel Insurance Travel insurance is compulsory for all our trips. We strongly recommend that you take out insurance the moment you register for a trip as you are then covered should you not be able to go in the event of illness or accident. Please send these details (name of insurer, policy number and their 24 hour emergency contact number) to RAW prior to departure. We require that, at a minimum, you are covered for medical expenses including emergency repatriation. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance and the insurance company s 24 hour emergency contact number has been seen by your leader. If you have credit card insurance your tour leader will require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number. Our preferred insurance company is CoverMore as they provide an excellent service. You can apply on line directly by clicking on this link:

7 ChallengeMD! Morocco Page 7 What to take? You should pack as lightly as possible. Your main luggage will be transported for you on all trekking days either in the transport vehicle or by mule. You will only need a day pack to carry your personal items during the day when out trekking. You are expected to carry your own luggage on and off the bus and though you will not be required to walk long distances with your luggage we recommend keeping the weight under 12kg. Suitcases are not recommended as they are awkward to store in the vehicle and impossible to strap to a mule. Most travelers carry their luggage in a backpack, although an overnight bag with a shoulder strap would suffice if you travel lightly. Checklist (suggested list) Travel Documents: - Passport (with photocopies) - Copy of travel insurance - Airline ticket - Cash - Credit card ** Tip: use a money belt for security (put documents inside a plastic bag) Personal Items - First Aid kit (see the health section) - High factor sunscreen - Mosquito repellent - Sunglasses - Toiletries (biodegradable) - Watch or alarm clock - Ear plugs (in case roommate snores!) - Plastic bags for wet or dirty clothing - Wet wipes or antiseptic hand gel Clothing - 3 T-shirts (lightweight quick drying fabric) / long sleeved T-shirt - Shoes to relax in at end of day, e.ge crocs or sandals - 4 pair of socks (wash as you go) - 1 pair of knee length shorts - 1 pair long trousers - Lightweight waterproof top - Warm Sweater/fleece for evenings - Warm hat & gloves for evenings - Sun hat - Thermal underwear

8 ChallengeMD! Morocco Page 8 Optional - Walking Poles (Recommended) - Favourite snacks for energy boost while trekking e.g. PowerBars, sports gel (a concentrated carbohydrate that delivers immediate energy when you feel tired or flat), dried fruit or nuts Other Suggestions: - Camera and plenty of film - Adapter for recharging digital camera (American style with 2 parallel flat pins) - Spare batteries - Reading / writing material - Penknife (put in main luggage at airport) - Torch - Small calculator (when out bargaining!) - Photos of family or postcards of Australia (great way to have fun with locals you meet) - Phrase book, map and Lonely Planet guide - Small padlock for securing your luggage during flights Local Dress When packing be aware that dress standards are conservative throughout Morocco. Please remember that as visitors to someone else s home it is our responsibility to fit with the local customs by wearing appropriate clothing (irrespective of what other travelers are wearing). Loose, lightweight, long clothing is both respectful and cool in the predominantly hot climate. As a general guideline (for women in particular) shoulders and knees should be covered as a sign of respect and to avoid any unwanted attention from the locals. Keeping In Touch communication while on the road If you need to be contacted while travelling we recommend that you set up an address that can be accessed on the road. cafes are commonplace throughout the regions we visit. If someone wishes to contact you in an emergency we recommend that they refer to our Emergency contact. We don t recommend that family and friends try to contact you through hotels, as they are subject to change and the reception staff may not speak English. Health & Safety All RAW travelers need to be in good physical health in order to participate fully in the group travel experience. If, in the opinion of our group leader, any traveller is unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group, RAW reserves the right to exclude them from all or part of a trip without refund. Please let us know of any medical conditions on the registration form and if you are currently taking prescription medicine as it is important that our leader is aware of your circumstances. We therefore ask that you read the itinerary in these trip notes thoroughly and then realistically self-assess your physical ability to complete the trip as described. Please consult with your doctor if you have any doubts. There are no specific health requirements for entry into Morocco. However, you should consult your doctor or travel clinic for up to date information and prescriptions for vaccinations and anti-malarial requirements. We would suggest that you are up to date with immunisation protection against typhoid, polio, tetanus, hepatitis A & B and Influenza. This country is also a malarial risk area and we recommend that you take a course of suitable malarial prophylactics. As some vaccinations require a course over weeks or months, contact your doctor as early as possible prior to departure. Generally, six to eight weeks notice is adequate.

9 ChallengeMD! Morocco Page 9 We recommend that you carry a First Aid kit as well as any personal medical requirements (such as a spare pair of prescription glasses). Please be aware that for legal reasons our leaders are prohibited from administering any type of drug including headache tablets/antibiotics etc. Your first aid kit should include: - Headache tablets - Diarrhoea treatment (both a blocker to bring relief from the symptoms and an antibiotic) - Band-aids - Antiseptic for cuts & scrapes - lip balm - Insect repellent - High factor sunscreen. Given the physical nature of this trip we strongly advise bringing some sachets of an oral rehydration solution (available at chemists) as this aids recovery following activity and dehydration and also helps replace lost body salts should you suffer from gastro. Just add a sachet to your water bottle each day. Please scroll down to the Special Safety Notes below for information on dehydration. If you are 65 years or older a completed Medical Certificate is required. Please let us know and we can post you a copy which then needs to be signed by your GP and posted faxed through to prior to departure. Physical Preparation In order to physically prepare yourself to trek for long hours up to 9 hours on successive days it is so important that you undertake a fitness program. Getting yourself fit is all part of the Challenge and one that you ll benefit from long after your trip is over. It is really worth putting in the effort before you go to condition the body (backside, neck, shoulders & leg muscles) as it means you ll enjoy the event rather than it being a struggle. Build up your base endurance by long and frequent walks which will ensure that you are in peak condition for the trip. You can also mix this up by taking other forms of regular exercise which you currently do such as yoga, spinning classes, cycling and swimming. The heat is a consideration as your body make take a few days to adjust to the more humid climate. We try and avoid trekking at the hottest times of day and favour early mornings and late afternoons on long days. Money Exchange Currency exchange rates often fluctuate. For the most up to date rates please refer to the following website: Morocco: $1 AUD = approx 8.6 Moroccan Dirham. Currency purchased during a visit to Morocco should be converted back before departing the country. Travelers should be advised to keep the receipts of currency exchange, as these will be required for the conversion of Dirham back to foreign currency prior to departure. At Marrakech airport the exchange rate is very similar to that in the town centre, so there is not much loss in waiting to the last minute to change your remaining Dirhams. Once through to embarkation you can no longer spend Dirhams, only foreign currency, so make sure you have no unwanted Dirhams left. Most of the main foreign currencies may be exchanged at a Bureau de Change in the airport or port upon arrival, at a bank and in most hotels although smaller hotels in more remote areas may not be able to exchange large amounts at one time without prior notice.

10 ChallengeMD! Morocco Page 10 Most hotels will exchange at the same rate as banks and without charging commission. Exchanging money in the street is illegal, so travelers should look for an official Bureau de Change which is identifiable by a golden sign. When bringing paper currency into Morocco (U.S. Dollars, British Pounds, Euros etc.), these must be in near perfect condition - no tears or ink marks. Do not bring Scottish or Irish Sterling notes as they are impossible to cash as are Australian Dollars. Most credit cards are accepted (especially Visa, MasterCard), although surcharges will likely apply as the cost of credit card processing in Morocco is fairly expensive for businesses. Do be aware that only a relatively small amount of businesses in Morocco have the ability to accept credit cards, although the number is growing slowly. Advise your bank or card issuer that you intend to travel abroad so that no block will be put on the usage of your credit or ATM cards. ATMs can now be found in abundance in most towns and accept Visa, Maestro, Cirrus etc but these will usually incur charges of around 5%. You should check with your bank as charges for using ATMs abroad may make exchanging cash a better option. It is advisable not to take travelers cheques as it is very difficult to find a bank that will cash them and although some hotels may still cash these, the commission rates are high. Spending Money Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travelers may drink more than others while other travelers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Any tip that you wish to give to your local guides or leader in recognition of excellent service is always appreciated. We recommend approx. US$40 each to go into a kitty to be distributed to the local leader (s) at the end of the trip. Usually we do this on the last night at the celebration dinner or at the end of a day with a local guide employed for the day. Emergency Funds Please also make sure you have access to an additional USD$400, to be used when unforeseen incidents or circumstances outside our control (e.g. a natural disaster, or an outbreak of bird flu) necessitate a change to our planned route. This is a rare occurrence but it is well worth being prepared! Emergency Contact In the case of a genuine crisis or emergency, please call the RAW Office. Tel: Outside of office hours please call Your Fellow Trekkers As you travel on a group trip you will be exposed to all the pleasures and maybe some of the frustrations of travelling in a group. We ask you to be understanding of the various needs and preferences of your group - patience with your fellow travelers is sometimes required for the benefit of everyone s travel experience.

11 ChallengeMD! Morocco Page 11 Remember too that you have responsibilities to the group. If you are requested to be at a place at a certain time, ensure that you don t keep the rest of the group waiting. We have found time and time again that the very best trips we operate are those where the dynamics within the group work well - this takes just a little effort on your part. Group Leader RAW has both resident western and local leaders who lead our trips in this region. Where the group size is smaller or with a private booking for a few persons you will have a local leader. All our staff are first aid trained and experienced with the special nature and demands of our tours and are able to give you support and insights into the local culture. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being tour guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local area guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting - we think it s the best of both worlds. Responsible Travel We believe strongly in low impact or rather positive impact tourism. Broadly speaking this means that we try to minimise the negative aspects of tourism on the local cultures and environments that we visit and highlight the positive aspects. Whilst on your trip you may find beggars asking for money etc. It is always hard to resist giving them a small gift. However we ask you not to do this as it encourages a culture of begging. Ask your leader what is the best way to give. A Couple of Rules Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on our trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for RAW travelers. RAW s philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make our destinations such special places. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our group leader has the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes. Safety Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government s advice for their latest travel information before departure. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe-keeping of your passport, air tickets, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewellery at home - you won t need it while travelling. Many of our hotels have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage. Your leader will accompany you on all included activities however during your trip you will have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy or explore at your leisure. While your group leader will assist you with the available options in a given location, please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your itinerary,

12 ChallengeMD! Morocco Page 12 and makes no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgment when selecting an activity in your free time. Please also note that your group leader has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it is deemed necessary due to safety concerns. Dehydration Dehydration is the biggest risk when undertaking a physical challenge such as trekking in the desert. It is so important to be aware of your fluid intake especially if at altitude and to constantly drink water throughout the day (even when you do not feel thirsty). Symptoms of mild dehydration include: - Flushed face - Extreme thirst, more than normal or unable to drink - Dry, warm skin - Cannot pass urine or reduced amounts, dark, yellow - Dizziness made worse when you are standing - weakness - cramping in the arms and legs - Sleepy or irritable - Headaches - Dry mouth, dry tongue; with thick saliva The simplest way of monitoring your fluid intake is by checking the colour of your urine. If it is clear or slightly yellow you are well hydrated but once it is a dark yellow you are in the danger zone and need to increase your fluid intake immediately. Ensure that you bring some Gastrolyte sachets as these help your recovery after trekking with the replacement of electrolytes. Gastrolyte is also the recommended treatment for dehydration caused by diarrhoea ( gastro ). Participation When travelling with RAW Travel each participant must accept the booking conditions (online at time of booking), a copy of these conditions are available on our website: The wording of the participation conditions is as follows: I understand that travelling with RAW Travel may involve risks (and rewards) above and beyond those encountered on a more conventional holiday, and that I am undertaking an adventure trip with inherent dangers.
