In the summer of 2009, a group of Bulgarians climbed Jbel Toubkal, the pride of the Atlas Mountains Range at 4167m.

Among them was a friend of mine Todor Dimov, whose notes and pictures were used for this picture gallery and the article which will be published in the Sofia Echo on January 29 2010.

This is a nice article about Toubkal, I've climbed it with my wife on May 2010, it was a fabulous experience unforgetable, the trek was well organized by Atlas & Sahara Tours Morocco, so if anyone wish to do this Ascent I highly recommend this guides/company web site atlasandsaharatours.com, they are really professional & knows what to, I will definitly come back & do Mgoun Ascent with them.
If anyone wish to get in touch with me, I m happy to share my experience simonwood@hotmail.fr
Good luck to everyone.
Simon
