Can’t wait to be back - An unforgettable trekking experience! We have known this wonderful family for 17 years, and they have been running this complete family business for over 30 years. Their deep knowledge of the Atlas Mountains, especially in Imlil, combined with their warm hospitality, makes every trip truly special. The guides are highly experienced, ensuring safety and an enriching adventure. They also offer incredible trips all around Morocco, showcasing the country’s breathtaking landscapes and rich culture. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced hiker, this is an adventure not to be missed. Highly recommended!

Hiking in the Atlas with a local guide - Uncomplicated pick-up in Marrakech. Afterwards we visited an argon oil production facility. Finally we went on a 3-4 hour hike through the lower Atlas Mountains with an elevation gain of around 300 meters. In addition to the unforgettable view, lunch with a Berber family was also a highlight.
Our guide was Youssef, who grew up in the valley. His experience and knowledge gave us an unforgettable day. Thank you!

Great experience with amazing guide - Youssef is an excellent guide with a contagious “joie de vivre”. we spent 4 days in Imlil valley, we reached the Toubkail summet, and walked through the villages of the valley. It was a less touristic trails. We were lodged at his house, our rooms with private bathroom were confortable. Thanks to his mother, she prepared great foods. We also have a dedicate cook during the trek - Lahsen prepared great tagine . Overall perfect trail, logistic was also prefect, everything was done on time without any delay.
Overall, we would not hesitate to ask him to organize another trek for us. May be next year…

Incredible guide and views (+ meal!) - Youssef was an incredible guide and was very knowledgeable in english, french and arabic! I’ve lived in Marrakesh for 15+ years and will always bring my visiting friends on this excursion from now on. Mohammed was also a great cook and the views from the lunch spot were unbelievable! Youssef also took us through villages untouched by tourists which made the experience even more memorable!
