My name is Mohamed. I come from a charming village called Imlil, in the Atlas Mountains. That's 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 became my profession. Today, I'm happy to help people explore the magnificent Atlas Mountains and discover Berber culture. I look forward to meeting you!

This summit is well-earned. The route, while not particularly technical, is physically demanding. The landscapes you traverse are picturesque and varied. This hike is definitely a must-do, but... the price is high for a service of poor quality. Minimal information was provided by the tour operator before departure, the subcontracted transport was chaotic, safety instructions were practically nonexistent on a snowy trail, and the mountain hut was clearly overcrowded. All of this leaves a lingering sense that they could have done better.

Hello, I was extremely satisfied with the hike and the local guide. However, as I've already read in other reviews, the price is really excessive, around €310, while other people in my group used the GetOurGuide app and paid €100 for exactly the same services... I couldn't manage to pay on the GetOurGuide app, so I booked through Decathlon Travel. Disappointed about that, but everything else was great! 👌🏾

A superb expedition to Mount Toubkal. A must-do despite the number of other groups; the sunrise is magnificent! We ate well and the refuge was spotless. Small shops are available along the way for water or snacks ;) Remember to dress warmly at the summit!

A magnificent trek that requires a good level of fitness. It's a shame the price is one and a half times higher than for the same service with GetYourGuide. Bring good gear for mountain trekking against rain and cold (-3 degrees Celsius at the summit of Toubkal).

A truly beautiful trip to the summit of Morocco. Be aware of altitude sickness; the lack of oxygen can cause headaches. Otherwise, anyone who isn't sedentary can manage it!
