I highly recommend if you're looking for a challenge. Make sure you have good hiking shoes as the trail is very rugged. Also bring some base layers, gloves and a beanie as it is freezing cold in the summit. Our guide Lahcen was amazing and I felt very safe with him. The food is great and all the accommodations have hot shower (including basecamp). You can rent sleeping bag and poles.

This trip was wonderfully catered and a suitable challenge for those wishing for a safe way to explore the high atlas mountains. Highly recommend this trip but there is some downtime in the mountains so a deck of cards is a must have.

This trip far exceeded my expectations. The landscape in the Atlas Mountains is beautiful, I had so many wonderful experiences from a traditional hammam, to tea and cake with stunning views, to exploring the souks of Marrakech, to experiencing the beautiful villages of Imlil and Armed and delicious food thanks to our great cook! Our guide, Lahcen, was fantastic and absolutely made the trip - his local knowledge, expert trekking, calm organising of everything and especially his guiding us up Mount Toubkal all made the trip so special. Seeing shooting stars hiking up to the summit and sunrise over the Atlas Mountains are experiences I’ll never forget. Really recommend this trip.

This trip was an excellent tonic to take my mind away from the stresses of life, challenging both physically and mentally and led by an expert ex-Moroccan forces guide who new the area very well. Futhermore the group was made up of like minded people who wanted to get the most out of the trip.

very stimulating and well organized trip, very experienced and competent guide who gave us the opportunity to get in touch with the people and local customs. I always felt safe and all my needs were always listened to. I was also lucky to have traveled with a very close-knit group and this helped in the success of the trip

I highly recommend this trip! Our tour leader, Youssef Azdour was amazing—so knowledgeable about the Atlas Mountains—its people, environment, and geography. And his skill as a guide is unmatched—he is experienced, patient, and supportive. I had an amazing experience hiking during this trip and so enjoyed making it to the summit of Toubkal, which is truly spectacular.
