Management
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!
