What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours in Atlas Mountains
- Moroccan Desert Adventure: River Canyons & Camels
We were driving a lot in Marocco, but we could see many facets of the country by doing so. The schedule was tight so I would advice to book one or more extra days to discover Marrakesh on your own afterwards. The bus for Transportation had air conditioning, was comfortable and clean. The driver did a good job, but on same places the winding route across the Atlas can be difficult for people who ten with motion sickness. Get some tablets for that. The guide was helpful and took good care of us. The accommodation varies from very beautiful in Marrakesh to simple in the mountain village. But even the mountain village has showers etc. The food was good and gave us some opportunities to test the local stuff. The prices were about 100 Diram per meal. Which is a bit higher than necessary, but acceptable.
I booked my 5 day Berber village and Toubkal summit trek with MTB Morocco on tour radar. As a single female trekker I was hopping for a group trek. Turns out it was just me - a group of one. MTB Morocco did an excellent job of looking after me and that I was happy and well looked after. Right from booking they were quick to answer my questions. A few days before the trek the contacted me via WhatsApp and we made out dates and time for pickup in Marrakesh. I did have some trouble at first with the location - Google maps led me a little bit astray but they found me!! We drove out to the mountains and I met my guide Moustapha and the chef and mule operator Driss. I didn’t have to spend long with the team to know that I was in extremely capable hands. It was easy to place my trust in Moustapha’s hands and enjoy the amazing adventure that I was on. At all times thru WhatsApp I could have contact with the head office of MTB Morocco but I didn’t need it. MTB Morocco is a professional organization that worked hard to meet and exceed my expectations! The select trustworthy and capable staff and I had the best time! Thank you MTB Morocco and Moustapha for such a wonderful and safe trekking experience! I recommend them 100% and would book with them again for any of the adventures they offer. Moustapha told me - if you can dream it - we can do it!
5-DAY TREKKING IN THE ATLAS MOUNTAINS
- Altas Trip and Desert Tour Combined Morocco - 8 days
Fantastic tour! 4 days trek in the Atlas Mountain : Our guide and muleteer/cook were incredible! We enjoyed every single minute of the trek with them. Beautiful scenery and so many friendly and interesting locals. Quick tip : Bring your own stash of toilet paper! 4 days trek of the Desert : Great scenery and accomodations. Expect lots of driving as the distance to Merzouga is considerable, but the experience in the desert is worth it! Quick tip : Let your driver know in advance the type of restaurant you want for lunch. It'll save you from stopping at a restaurant that is either outside your budget or not to your taste.
What our customers ask about Hiking & Trekking Tours & Trips in Atlas Mountains
What are the best times of year for hiking in the Atlas Mountains?
The Atlas Mountains present ideal hiking conditions during spring (March-May) and fall (September-October) when daytime temperatures hover around 20-25°C with clear visibility. Summer brings intense heat at lower elevations while winter transforms higher altitudes especially around Mount Toubkal with temperatures plunging to -20°C. A recent traveler remarked "We were blessed with fantastic weather clear blue skies and amazing views of the Atlas Mountains that stretched as far as Marrakech."
What type of accommodation can I expect during Atlas Mountains treks?
Options range from simple mountain shelters to welcoming gites and authentic Berber homes. Riad Bouchahoud in Tijhza provides private rooms while mountain refuges like Les Muflons near Toubkal offer shared dormitories. The luxurious Kasbah du Toubkal overlooks scenic valley landscapes. According to a recent guest: "The gite was basic but adequate and they provide blankets. The food at the gite is fresh and healthy and the hospitality from the Berber people was incredible."
How challenging is the Mount Toubkal trek?
The Mount Toubkal trek requires strong physical fitness with summit day involving 6-8 hours of hiking starting before dawn. Climbers face substantial elevation changes from 2400m to 4167m. Winter climbs need additional technical skills due to snow and ice conditions. One trekker shared: "The summit day was hard work with a 4am start but the views from the top were absolutely incredible - you could see across the Atlas range and all the way to Marrakech on a clear day."
How experienced are the guides in the Atlas Mountains?
The guides primarily Berber locals possess extensive knowledge of the mountain terrain. Their training covers safety first aid and high-altitude trekking with many having led hundreds of Toubkal summits. A recent client shared: "Hassan our guide was excellent - very knowledgeable about the local area culture and mountains. His experience made us feel completely safe even in challenging conditions."
