What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours from Marrakesh
- From Marrakech 3-Day Merzouga and Sahara Desert Tour
A suitable agency for tourists who like to explore Berber villages, enjoy the tranquility of the desert, and ride camels. The staff is friendly and answers all questions. I recommend this team.
- Winter Toubkal Trek (4 days)
An enjoyable four day adventure treking to and around Mt Toubkal. Communication was lacking at times, although we stayed flexible and everything worked out fine. The pick up was on time and very comfortable, with a lovely breakfast provided before our walk start at Imlil and amazing lunch on return four days later. All guides were very friendly and experienced in the local area and terrain. English was not widely spoken and therefore don't expect a detailed cultural commentary but we always felt safe and with a little french we got by. Food to and from the refuge was good however breakfast and lunch at the refuge was basic and a bit small for the significant energy needed for the trek - extra chocolate bars definitely required! The refugee was warm with large fires and the communal dorms were very comfortable. Be aware the toilets and showers were very basic, no toilet paper or hot water. Pay attention to the kit list, prepare for basic accommodation and you'll have an amazing experience. Thank you to Ibrahim our guide, we couldn't have had a friendlier or more genuine man. Clearly fondly known to all in the Toubkal area and made our trek authentic, safe and as relaxing as climbing a 4000m mountain can be!
