Additional Information

Majority of those who venture into the High Atlas (Trekking in the Atlas Mountains) aim for Djebel Toubkal (Mountain Climb of Toubkal, 4167m/13,670ft), the apex of North Africa, set in the vibrant landscapes of Morocco. As a popular tourist attraction in Morocco, it is reported that 90% of trekkers choose the Toubkal Region during peak season. Accessible from Marrakech, the top of Mount Toubkal can be reached in just a few days (Two days on Mount Toubkal), though it’s recommended to spend additional time for acclimatization. The area, while sparse, offers unparalleled beauty. The panoramic view over the entire length of Morocco, from the shimmering Atlantic coast to the north and west, and the vast, hot Sahara to the south and east, is absolutely breathtaking from the summit of Mount Toubkal.

The rate of 100 euro is a special offer for those only requiring a guide.

Best guide ever to the Toubkal summit, Abdu. - Incredible trekking to the top of the Beautiful Toubkal. We did it with the best guide I've ever meet, Abdu, a young guy with a perfect English,is important the good communication in the mountains. He is a very experienced guy and do the trekking really funny. I started the trekking with a guide and I finished it with a friend. If you love the mountain you should contact with him to feel the Toubkal. Thanks Abdu for two amazing days in your beautiful mountains.

A great trip with the best guide - We are often on the road in the mountains and so it is only natural to climb the highest mountain in Morocco. After some searching, we decided to go with Atlas Tour Guide because of the reviews. It was the best choice ever. Abdul is an incredibly great guide. He speaks good English and told us a lot about the country and its people. He always adapted to our pace and is very caring. He knows the mountains almost by heart and we always felt in good hands. We can only recommend Abdul! He picked us up at our riad in the morning and the adventure could begin. On the first day, we went to the hut. We learned a lot about the area, the people and the history. The next morning we started at 4.30 a.m. to the summit. Although the sun was hiding behind the clouds, it was an incredible experience and a very special atmosphere to start in the dark and reach Mount Toubkal at dusk. On the way down, we climbed a second peak with a wrecked aeroplane on top. After resting a little at the hut, we climbed a pass in the afternoon, from where we had a great view. On the third day, we only had to descend and we were able to finish our trip in beautiful weather.

Amazing experience with Abdul - Our group had an incredible time hiking mount toubkal with Abdul. He met us the day before and took us to have lunch at a great spot, and made sure that we were prepared for the hike. He even brought us extra items that we didn’t have. Abdul was very patient and professional. Even though one person in our group got altitude sickness, he made sure to go at her pace and checked in with her often so that she could also make it up the mountain. The weather was too dangerous to make it all the way to the final summit, but Abdul still made it such a fun and enjoyable experience. We felt like we were in great hands the whole time. We highly recommend taking Abdul as your guide if you are doing the mount toubkal trek!

My hike to Mt Toubkal with best guide Abdul - Toubkal peak looks more possible if you have the right guide.And Abdul is definitely the best one around.I was with Abdul for 2 days and that was the best time ever spent. He is made of steel and makes your hike amazing and fun. Speaks good English, which is a clear advantage over other guides in the mountain. He is young and has a lot to share too. We did the hike in 2 days and spoke to each other. He knows the mountain and the village in&out. He will help you with everything you want and will go an extra mile for it. Luckily the weather was also good. I highly recommend Abdul if you are ever planning to hike the mountain. He is available and always making your experience better. Best guide in Imlil.

Wonderful experience with a wonderful guide - Trip to the mountain Toubkal with guide Abdull. We are Dutch people living in Germany.An agency in Marrakech booked for my wife and me, a tour to the mountain Toubkal,highAtlas. At Sunday 25.09.2022 a driver from the agency, collected us at 10 o´clock at our Hotel in Marrakech, and brought us to Imlil. Our guide, Abdull was waiting for us, together with his friend Ibrahim and the mule. We packed our bagage on the mule additional to the food and cooking equipment that already was packed on the mule. Unfortiately, we had no appropriate equipement for the tour. Only walking boots. Than we went to a few shops, there we rented missing clothes. We found clothes that fitted, but we did not find waterproof clothes to rent. We rented cheap, but not waterproof. We started the first section of the tour to Toubkal, four hours hiking uphill to the refuge. It rained very much, so we got wet untill our skin. Halfway the tour, Ibrahim was waiting for us in a small mountain hut and cooked us a delicious meal. We could warm up with the dry cothes, the mule transported. After our halfway-rest, it rained even more. So when we arrived in the refuge, we were so wet, that all our clothes were saturated with water. We first changed to dry clothes and Ibrahim and Abdull coocked us the next delicious meal, that we very much enjoyed. Abdull and a friend of him helped us drying our clothes. At 22.00 o clock, we went to our sleepingroom. Here were 16 beds staked. We slept a little bit untill 2 o´clock. Then the first sleeping guests rised for theire Toupkal-tour. We started at 6 o clock, couldn´t sleep anymore becouse of the activities in the sleeping-room. At 5.30 o´clock, Abdull and Ibraham already prepaired our breakfast. Our clothes were dryed. So at 6 we started our Toubkal-tour. We started in the tour to the 4167 meters target, in the darkness,whit headlamps but dry. The rise is very steep and challenging. The air got thinner and thinner. It was very windy and cold.Abdull always set the right pace und we had several short brakes. Abdull was always motivating us to go further.He gave us dates and nuts and some warm tea. We passed the small Toubkal, heading for the Toubkal at 4167 meters, but at 4000 meters hight, the wind got too heavy for us and the air got so thin,we couldn´t get enough oxygen, so we decided to stop the climbing tour. Enjoyed the Panorama, made a break and headed back to the refuge. Here we had the next rest and at about 12 o´clock we had our meal and walked back to Imlil. On the way back to Imlil, Abdull arranged a riad near to Imlil, at Mazik, the village where he lives. Monday-Afternoon in the riad, we decided, we were to tired for the next tour that day and Abdull planed an easy trip for us for Tuesday. Tuesday, we visited a waterfall near Imlil, then sightseeing the surroundings Imlil with sight on the villages around Imlil.He told us a lot about life in the small villages.It was a beautifull and very interesting trip. At noon, we enjoyed our delicous meal in a privat location. Then at 2 o clock our driver picked us up, and brought us back to Marrakech. For us Abdull was a perfect guide. He was always very kind and helpfully. He made us feel good all the time. We learned a lot and always felt very safe around him. He is very young but already very experienced. Nobody could have done this job better than he did! Liesbeth and Peter

Amazing experience and amazing guide - I did the 2-day hike to mount Toubkal with my best friend. The tour guide was recommended by another friend who did the tour a few years ago. The experience has been great and as you'd expect, a tough but rewarding hike mostly due to the altitude. You get some stunning views all along the path and of course especially once you reach the top. I definitively recommend waking up earlier to make it to the top for sunrise. The whole hike was very well organised and equipped. Our guide, Abdu, and his cousin have been absolutely wonderful with us. Both in terms of guiding, giving information but also being able to physically help if / when we needed it. On top of it Abdu is of great company and fun to be with. We even exchanged personal contacts to stay in touch should we go back to Morocco. I 100% recommend taking this amazing tour with them!

Mount Toubkal in two days with the best guide ever: Abdu Lilahe - I walked to Mount Toubkal in two days (August 13 - 14th, 2022) and had the pleasure to be guided by Abdu Lilahe. He adapted his pace and despite me breaking all records in being slow, Abdul stayed friendly and went above and beyond to support me in every possible way and finally even got me to the top of Mount Toubkal. This says a lot about his skills and strength! Abdul is clearly born in a family for which the mountains have no secrets and together with his uncle Mostapha, also guiding a group that weekend, I had the time of my life. They immediately make you feel comfortable and build friendships. Besides the physical challenge, the skills and kindness of Abdul makes this a perfect experience. This is the best guide I could have wished for and I would highly recommend booking him if you intend to explore the Atlas mountains. To me, it was a lifetime experience never to forget!

A true Atlas adventure with a very special guide! - We had a fantastic 4 day trek with Abdul exploring, laughing, learning and building a friendship. He helped us arrange everything from Imil, planning, renting gear etc. We were well taken care of from the moment we met and we felt very comfortable with him. We headed out on day 1 through lots of beautiful forests, and stayed in a Beber village. Day 2 we walked through stunning scenery, enjoyed the freshness of a beautiful waterfall, sleeping over in a refugee high in the mountains, with only us and the guilds, isolated with endless horizons and total peace. Day 3 we walked to Toubkal, ready for the challenge of the final day. On day 4 we trekked to peak of Toubkal, leaving in darkness with a bright moon above and finally returned to Imil through a valley alongside a river. Abdul alway took great care of us, understood our energy, helped us pace ourselves. He hosted us kindly and generously. We talked lots about the local culture and nature, he shared his knowledge. We are very grateful for our days together. We hope to met again. You would be very lucky to trek with such a bright young guide.

Best guide in the High Atlas - I hired Hamid Maskouk with Atlas Tour Guide on two day winter climb of Jbel Toubkl and I can't praise enough his decisive part in making this adventure not only possible but truly enjoyable. Hamid is friendly, well prepared and knowledgeable. .
