Hello! My name is Mohamed. I come from a charming village called Imlil, in the Atlas Mountains. This is where I live and work as a guide. I've been doing this job for over ten years now. I became interested in nature, different cultures, and the mountains at the age of 16, thanks to my father, who was also a guide. What started as a hobby has become my profession. Today, I'm happy to help people explore the magnificent Atlas Mountains and discover Berber culture. I look forward to meeting you!

It would be good if Decathlon were more transparent about how they adapt their organization based on weather conditions. However, the local agency, and especially our guide Mohamed, was truly fantastic. Thanks to him, we spent two wonderfully relaxing and active days, just as we had hoped. He managed our trip perfectly: transportation, itineraries, communication, and everything else. Thanks again to him!
