6-hour Trek from Marrakech\n\nToubkal Guide - Day 1: Commence with a pickup at 8:00 am from your lodging in Marrakech. Following a roughly 1.5-hour drive to the quaint hamlet of Imlil, your hike begins. Traversing the Mizane Valley, you’ll first encounter the village of Aremd before reaching the holy site of Sidi Chamarouch. Your journey then heads eastward, crossing expansive floodplains and ascending along donkey paths into the towering crags above the valley. After fording the river, you arrive at the revered Sidi Chamarouch sanctuary, a destination for both sightseers and pilgrims. The path then steadily ascends, weaving and zigzagging to the snowline and the refuge at 3206 meters. Your encampment for the night will be in a tent near the refuge.\n\nExpect to walk for approximately 5 to 6 hours.\n\n### 10-hour Trek and Return to Marrakech\n\nToubkal - Day 2: With an early start, you’ll embark on the ascent to the summit of Jebel Toubkal, the tallest peak in Northern Africa. The climb follows the south cirque, skirting the stream above the refuge. While the trek is mostly uncomplicated, the loose stones and high altitude may pose challenges at times. Nonetheless, the panoramic views en route are more than compensating. Upon summiting, you’ll be greeted with awe-inspiring panoramic views, ranging from the Marrakesh Plain to the High Atlas in the north, and as far as the Anti-Atlas and the Sahara to the south. The descent retraces your steps down the mountain, leading back to Imlil. You’ll then be transferred back to Marrakech and dropped off at your original pickup point.\n\nAnticipate a walking duration of about 9 to 10 hours.

Toubkal Summit - There were 4 of us from work who did this trek.
Omar Milou our guide met us at our hotel at 9:30 on the Saturday.
Omar was very polite, easy going and likeable. He continually filled the first day with chat and information about the area, the culture and the plants that we encountered.
At the refuge he made sure that we all got plenty of food and tea and were comfortable.
Unfortunately one of our party got altitude sickness, just before we reached the refuge. Omar did everything to make her feel better but in the end he said that the only thing was to take he back to the village.
He arranged for a friend to take us to the summit the next day and got a donkey and took our sick friend back the long route to the hotel.
She could not sing his praises enough. He even took her on a short walk the next day.
Omar is a great guy and a fantastic guide. I would definitely recommend him.
The next morning we went up to the summit very early., with Omar's friend taking charge of the rest of our party. This is a very tough two day trek but one I will remember for a lifetime.
Thank you so much for the experience Omar 😊

Perfectly organised for a fun packed 4 nights! - We had an awesome time from start to finish 👌...from being picked up at the airport, super friendly driver. Our riad was perfect for our needs, very central, breakfast on the rooftop and 2 small indoor pools to chill in. The trek was absolutely brilliant..staying up in Imlil with our lovely lodge hosts then Siad picked us up promptly along with H and our mule. The trek and scenery are beautiful and it's an enjoyable trek to toubkal refuge. If I did it again I'd consider a private room over the dorms simply as you don't get much sleep before up at 2.30am, an energy giving brekkie then that steep trek through the starry night to reach the summit before sunrise! It was hard but doable and it's an amazing feeling to be up there with the most fantastic views.
It's a long trek back to Imlil ;) we were greeted by Karima who had everything organised for us back to Marrakesh and nothing was too much trouble ..so helpful 💚 we were lucky enough to enjoy another night at our riad and were indulged with a fantastic much needed beautiful hammam and massage experience before heading home, again all taken care of by the wonderful team.
Thank you so much for looking after us so well..we loved it from start to finish ♥️

Smashing and incredible experience - Incredible! Pushed my limits as this was surely a tough one. Booked through Evertrek and they were just brilliant! So glad I booked through Evertrek. Everything was seamlessly smooth from the time of booking through all the arrangements of transport, food, acco.
It was a new country for me and the whole experience was a first. But the hospitality and arrangements were exceptional. The encouragement by the guides Mohammed and Ismail, to get through the tough climb was much needed and so well balanced! Thanks to Kareema who was always there for anything, so polite and always smiling. Made the whole experience so memorable.
And to the Evertrek team! U r smashing it… keep up the amazing work 👍🏻

2 day Toubkal trek - Absolutely amazing experience! It’s a tougher hike than I was expecting but worth every step. Summit day was timed to perfection, arriving on the summit just in time for sunrise. Our guide Mohamed Tsiou and our chef Mohamed Abayen were absolutely superb. I saw many guides walking up front with no interaction with their groups, Mohamed was not like this. He’s knowledgeable, having grown up in the area and had a good laugh with us and got involved. The other Mohamed (and the mule carrying our bags and equipment) did an absolutely sterling job behind the scenes. He was always ahead of the group so we didn’t see much of him, just at meal times. The meals we were eating up high in the mountains were better than the food I’ve had in Marrakech!! Huge portions and healthy food with fresher salads than you’ll find in Tesco!!! They kept us well fuelled for the trek!
I’ve enjoyed this more than I was expecting, the Atlas Mountains are absolutely stunning and I’ll be back to tackle some other stuff in the area in the future. For the money spent on this trip, I honestly don’t think you could find a better adventure for a quick weekend trip away!
Heads up, take toilet paper, ear plugs and print your return boarding pass!

2 days on Toubkal - We chose Toubkal Guide for our 2 day trek of Mount Toubkal after checking out reviews online for different companies. We were not disappointed and the experience met the 5 star reviews. Communication before was clear, with all our pre-hike questions answered and we were picked up on time. We had a great ascent with our guide Ibrahim who seemed to know everyone on the mountain and was very strong on the ascent and descent. We even finished the walk with a bonus visit of the waterfall in Imlil, which was a nice thing for him to have added on the end. We had excellent food each meal, prepared by our cook Mohammed, which looked better than others at the refuge. Mohammed cooked brilliant meals that were all different (taglines, Berber omelettes, soup etc) and were really generous portions. Both Ibrahim and Mohammed made the trek a great experience.

Incredible 2 day Toubkal Trek - Toubkal Guide did an amazing job organizing our trek - the booking was easy, they shared the gear list in advance, and their correspondence was always quick. Everything was all set so all we had to worry about was the actual hiking. From the drivers to/from Marrakech, Karima our point person with the agency, our guide and cook- the people are lovely and excited to share in your experience. The 2 day trek is busy but it’s the most efficient way to summit and get to do other fun activities. Would highly recommend Toubkal Guide again and again!

Amazing Experience - Have to be fit to do it in two days. But whoever is into mountains or wants to start rying new altitudes, this is a good trek without much technicality. I did it in winter for more of a mountain vibe.
Guide guided me well and kept me well fed, and we were the first to climb before sunrise.
10/10

Unforgettable Experience - We had an incredible experience climbing Jbel Toubkal in winter with Toubkal Guide. From the time we booked, all the staff was super responsive and helped us with all our questions. Thanks a lot to Amina ans Karima! Hamid was an amazing guide, very friendly and experienced. He helped us reach the summit for sunrise at a steady but thoughtful pace, whilst always making sure we were doing good. Mustafa our chef was also incredible, delicious food. The experience itself is also breathtaking. Can only recommend to go trekking jn the Atlas while in Morocco and to do so with Toubkal Guide.

We wanted to ascend the Toubkal in winter (in summer we had already done it) and thanks to Toubkal Guides we were able to do it - The organization was perfect, they waited for us at the door of the hotel and took us to Imlil. The guides Mohamed and Ibrahim, who speak Spanish, along with the cook and the muleros attended us wonderfully. To say something negative, which was not, they even put too much food on us:) Our route was not two days, we wanted three, and without problems adapted and expanded. All for a very modest price

Toubkal and Ait ben Haddou - We went on a two-day Toubkal trek with this agency, and it was amazing! Hamid, our guide, was fantastic—he really looked after us, helped us throughout the hike, and made sure we were always in good hands. The mountain refuge was great too; the food was delicious and there was way more than enough to keep us fueled for the trek. Everything was so well organized, and we’d definitely recommend this agency to anyone.
What we really appreciated was how they helped us out with gear we didn’t have or wasn’t quite right for the hike. After the trek, we continued on to Ait Ben Haddou. We spent the night near Imlil in a guesthouse that was a bit farther from the village than we expected, but it turned out to be a great choice. The place was super cozy, and Hassan, the host, took amazing care of us. The rooms were comfy, and the views of the High Atlas Mountains were stunning.
The next day, we headed to Ait Ben Haddou in a brand-new Land Cruiser with a fantastic driver. The trip was smooth, the guide was great, and the food along the way was awesome. We felt safe and well taken care of the whole time, and we made it back to Marrakesh feeling really happy with how everything turned out.
If you’re considering booking with this agency, go for it—they’re fantastic, and the value for money is excellent. Highly recommend!
