Additional Information

Highly suggested throughout the year, the trekking pathways through the valleys and villages of Atlas are perfect for those who aren’t planning to ascend Toubkal. According to us, they provide the most splendid mountain views and Berber communities within the Imlil and Toubkal National Park vicinity. The fact that they remain under the snowline makes them reachable in the winter season for everyone, no matter their level of experience.

Incredible experience! - Couldn’t recommend this more highly. Communication prior to leaving was great and Brahim is an incredible guide. We had so much fun learning about Berber culture and Brahim’s experiences as a guide. The villages were beautiful and the views from the mountain passes incredible. The length of time spent walking was a bit of a challenge for someone of average fitness, but doable and so worth it. Just bring lots of blister plasters! It was hot in the sun and cool in the shade, but plenty of blankets were supplied for the overnight stay in a comfortable gite. This was a very special experience.

Highlight of my trip to Morocco - It was such an amazing experience with great hiking and visiting different villages and two valleys. My guide brahim was very knowledgeable and our cook Omar made very delicious Moroccan food during the trip. During this time of the year (December), bring more layers and warm clothes. I think a good pair of hiking shoes is recommended as the trails can get slippery. Highly recommend this trek if you want to see more of Morocco outside of the touristy Marrakech and if you love hiking.

Perfect two days in the mountains - Top experience with awesome people! 5-6 hours per day walk, day 1 is steep but doable, day 2 is more relaxed. The views are breathtaking. Go up to the plateau on day 2 to get the best views and a glimpse on mount Toubkal. Check all our pictures for a good impression! Guide: Rachid is a very friendly guide giving us enough room and privacy. He adjusts his tempo to our moderate pace and always waits for us. He gives interesting information about the mountains and the plants. Food: the cook Mohammed takes a headstart with the mule to insure the food is ready upon arrival. Food is abundant, fresh, varied and very tasty. Transport: the first driver was perfectly on time, the second one was already waiting for us. Sleeping: the refuge offered minimum but sufficient comfort. We rented walking sticks and sleeping bags. Sleeping bag and extra blankets needed (24 December.) Both for 140 Mad total. Communication: very fast replies and spontaneous checkup the first evening. Believe us: take this tour if you have two days to spare.

Mustafa et Mustafa! - Incredible hike through the Atlas valley with amazing food! - What a trip! Firstly a massive thank you to Mustafa our guide who not only took care of us, but answered all our questions about Morocco, Berber culture and the Atlas mountains. Also a big thanks to Mustafa our cook and mule owner, he made us such amazing food and helped carry our belongings. Both Mustafa's were amazing, so helpful and showed us everything Berber. We did the 2 day hike with lunch stops on both days, which saw us eating alfresco tagine, fresh salad and breads. Food was amazing, as was our stay in the Berber village, whereby Mustafa set up our table outside so we could watch village ongoings. This trip is an excellent chance to get some distance walking in but also have some pretty epic views of the Atlas ranges and see local Berber culture. We did it during the hottest months, so was fairly difficult in the heat, would suggest leaving as early as possible to avoid the hottest part of the day. We hired sleeping bags, but wasn't necessary as the place we stayed had blankets but was hot enough at night to not use them. Thank you to the Mustafa's!! They were incredible guys, as well as Mohammed the taxi driver who picked up/dropped us at our hotel.

Amazing trip - This was the best trip of my life. What an amazing country and trip with the tour guide Ibrahim. I would suggest everyone to book this with him. The climbing was good but sometimes hard for the muscles. But I found the new me again and that's the main thing. So I'm totally a new person. HEX- GLOBAL Also thanks for everything.

Amazing 6-day Journey to Toubkal - The people, The journey. Amazing Journey, life changing, kind people and a lot to learn from if it comes to manners and kindness. Ibrahim,Abdullah,Ali are inspiring people and will be by your side no matter the weather or change of direction. Feeling cold and need a tea, no need to ask. They don't have to do this but take care of you like family. Joey ( HEX member) 24-31st May 2023.

The best in the business - I want to start by saying thank you to Brahim for being such an amazing support in organising the climb. Brahim is very responsive with email communications and when he says he will meet you at 8:30am He means it. The theme of time management and punctuality is incredible with the whole of his team. Our guide Ahmed deserves 10 stars if I could. Ahmed was the best mountain guide one could ask for! He went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, he was very friendly and would adjusted pace for all group members to ensure no one was left behind. throughout some sections in which my partner didn’t feel the most comfortable he would do his best to help her through those sections calming her the whole way. Ahmed thank you. You’re an amazing guide and better man. I consider you a true friend. Our muller and cook Omar always delivered the most delicious food in an incredible manner. No meal was ever late. No meal was unfresh or poor quality. And you will definitely not go hungry when Omar is cooking for you. The portions are HUGE! (Perfect for climbing Toubkal) and with the constant tea and popcorn you will be topped up at all times. To date the chicken tajine is the best my partner and I have ever had. Omar ensured all bags and larger belongs not carried by yourself were transported safely and were always ready and waiting for us. Gentlemen, thank you. Words do not describe my gratitude and appreciation of the quality and conduct you showed through out the trip.
