What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours from Marrakesh
I had a fantastic experience. It was my first time travelling solo and I love it! The group was very nice and I felt saved at all times. Our tour guides took a good care of us. They made sure we could summit the Jebel Toubkal saved, showing us the proper way to do it. It was my first 4,167 mt and I'm very proud of myself!! Beautiful mountains and people. Thank you TourRadar!!
Mt Toubkal Long Weekend
- Climb Mt Toubkal
Very hard but rewarding, meet some amazing people, Mohammad our guide was brilliant, highly recommend
Took a risk and booked this tour on my own, was obviously apprehensive about going to Morocco on my own but this tour was absolutely amazing and one of the best experiences of my life. My guide Abdul was brilliant, spoke great English and was completely fine to walk at the pace i wanted to and was fine with taking breaks and taking photos for me. He answered all my questions about the Berber people/ way of life and the mountains. The mountains are absolutely beautiful, some of the best views i've ever seen. We also visited the waterfall on the last day which was really cool but did add on an extra 2 hours to the trek (worth it) I have never been so overfed in my life by Hamid the cook! I was served portions for 2 or 3 people with every meal of the nicest Moroccan food imaginable, huge salads, Tagine, cous cous, meatballs and lots of Mint Tea and coffee! The trek itself was easy on the first day but quite challenging for the second and third day, be sure to bring decent walking boots/trainers, some of the terrain is quite tricky and plenty of sleep descents. The accommodation is extremely rustic and simple, be warned there is no toilet or shower in the guesthouse in Tinzert! Bring hand sanitizer or your own soap! The guesthouse in Tizi Oussem is a lot better with a shower and decent toilet facilities. Would definitely do this tour again and strongly thinking about coming back next year to do the Toubkal mountain trek. If i could change one thing it would be to make the first day of trekking longer, we only walked for around 2.5 hours and then had all afternoon and evening with nothing to do in Tinzert.

Summer temperatures in the mountains (June through August) range from 77-86°F (25-30°C). If you prefer milder weather, come in spring or fall when temps stay between 68-77°F (20-25°C). One of our TourRadar travelers shared: "The weather albeit a little warm at 44°C was kind, and the views were absolutely fabulous across the Atlas Mountains."
Which landmarks will I see during hiking tours from Marrakesh?
Your journey will take you through the High Atlas Mountains and up Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa at 13,671 feet (4,167 meters). You'll walk through small Berber villages like Imlil and Aremd, explore the green Mizane Valley, and visit the shrine of Sidi Chamarouch. Many trips include a stay at the Toubkal Refuge Les Mouflons, sitting at 10,518 feet (3,206 meters). As one TourRadar traveler said: "The vistas were to die for, passing through traditional Berber mountain villages with rushing mountain streams surrounded by lush walnut groves."

You'll experience different types of places to stay throughout your trip. In Marrakesh, you'll stay in hotels like Hotel Gomassine.

Here's what a TourRadar traveler said: "The gite is basic but clean and atmospheric. You will be sharing a room with other trekkers and bedding is similar to large bunk bed platforms."
What should I explore in Marrakesh before or after my trek?
Take time to wander through Djemaa el-Fna square, get lost in the old medina, browse the traditional souks, and visit the peaceful Majorelle Gardens. Most travelers stay at places like Riad Chayma or Hotel Gomassine, which are close to everything. One TourRadar traveler suggests: "Don't miss visiting the famous Jemaa el-Fnaa square and exploring the vibrant souks for a complete cultural experience."
