What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours from Marrakesh
- 3-Day Atlas Mountain Trek: Valleys, Villages & Berber Trails”
Early in the morning, after a Berber breakfast in Imlil, we met our mountain guide, Omar Ait Tadrart, accompanied by a kind, strong mule. Our group of four included an adventurous woman who rode the mule up the mountain and walked back down in the evening. Omar, friendly and knowledgeable, speaks good English and French and has a university education. He guided us up a riverbed to a shrine (the king of the djinns, the good imam in village mosques is Highland sceptical apparantly) high in the mountains, where we enjoyed a hearty lunch, hot menthe tea and fresh orange juice. The day was filled with stunning views, rushing streams, and delightful conversations—an unforgettable trek.
- Toubkal Explorer: 3-Day Guided Trek through the Atlas Mountains
Amazing hospitality and beautiful scenery. Could have been a little bit more challenging and adventurous on the first day, but the second day made up for it :)
- Combined Trip 6 days
This was an adventurous 6 day trip: 3 days spent trekking and climbing Toubkal Mountain and the remaining 3 days seeing diverse landscapes including picturesque Saraha desert, rocky desert, mountainous views, local villages, mid-sized cities, and historic villages and kasbahs. It was fairly rugged, so a sense of adventure is a must. Our guide through the Atlas Mountains (Omar Gallouti) was the perfect man for the job. Our cook (Abdul Latif) made meals that were terrific, especially considering he was using a mobile kitchen for most meals! For our trip through the rest of the trip, Abdul was a very good tour guide. The Sahara experience was as dazzling and picturesque as possible. Camping under the desert sky was an unforgettable experience. This was a great way to see a good portion of the country and a great value.
