Marrakech
A visit to Marrakech certainly awakens the senses. Whether it's bartering for a deal in the chaos of the souks, relaxing in the oasis that is your Riad or having dinner in a fancy restaurant in Gueliz, there is something for everyone.
The Atlas Mountains
During your hike in the Atlas Mountains, you will be rewarded with simply spectacular views with vibrant colours and valleys peppered with Berber villages and snow-capped peaks.
Imlil Village
Set at the foot of the Atlas mountain range, Imlil is the perfect base to start and finish your Toubkal ascent. It's a pretty, peaceful and authentic berber village providing the perfect location for relaxing after your trek.
Moroccan Cuisine
Rich with flavour, the food has a unique, delicious taste so don't be shy in trying their specialities from tajines with couscous to a pastillas and of course the obligatory mint tea. You can even take a cooking class!
"I absolutely loved to trip, the Atlas Mountain are simply stunning with little berber villages dotted along the hiking trail. The trekking was was certainly a challenge but that what I was expecting and the views from the top made it worthwhile. Abdul our guide was fabulous, nothing was too much trouble"

YOUR EXPERIENCE
Starting and ending in the mesmerizing Marrakech, you will then be transferred to the High Atlas Mountains for the start of your adventure. From here, you will take the day in Imlil Valley to acclimatize for the altitude with a 4-hour test hike. You will begin the ascent the following day, travelling towards the Toubkal Basecamp, set at an altitude of 3,207 meters. The effort will be greatly rewarded with fabulous views over the gorges and streams. The next day is the big day. With an early start, you will follow the zig-zagging trail above the Basecamp and right towards to the summit. We promise it's well worth the challenge with the stunning overview from the top over the Atlas Mountains ridges and peaks, valleys and Berber villages. Then, it's back to Marrakech for your final night.

"This is a challenging yet very rewarding trek due to the ascent of around 2500m which offers stunning panoramic views but where you come up you must also come down! So not only do you need an appetite for a challenge, you need to have a good level of fitness"

Travel Insurance
Needless to say, when taking part in an activity such as hiking in a country like Morocco it is prudent to ensure you have insurance in case you are unfortunate and have an accident.
Taking Photos
Always ask when obviously snapping pictures of the locals, especially in the rural areas, as it's polite. Pairing with a complement often helps or take from distance and ultilise your zoom.
Touts and Hustlers
In general Morocco is very safe so relax and smile when dealing with touts and hustlers. Politely, but firmly decline, don’t engage and act as if you know where you are going.
Cover Up
Whilst locals are used to tourists, it is respectful to cover up your knees and shoulders, so make sure you have a scarf, which will also help against the sun.
