Hello! I'm Mohamed. I come from a lovely village called Imlil in the Atlas mountains. It's where I live and work as a guide. I've been doing this job for over ten years now. I first got interested in nature, different cultures, and mountains when I was 16, thanks to my dad, who was also a guide. What started as a hobby became my job. Now, I'm happy to help people explore the beautiful Atlas mountains and learn about Berber culture. Looking forward to meet you!"

Toubkal

Day 1-2
Mount Toubkal & Sahara Desert Trekking Package: 5 Days Day 1: Marrakech - Imlil - Mount Toubkal At 9 am, we'll pick you up at your accommodation in Marrakech and we'll travel to Imlil. In this Atlas town we'll start a trekking route that will take us through Mount Toubkal admiring the valleys of Mizane and Oued Rhirhaia, as well as the plain of Haouz and small villages clinging to the slopes of the mountains, such as Asni or Aremd. An unforgettable landscape! The hiking route will take us to Sidi Chamharouch, the so-called "Devil's Sultan". We'll discover the origin of its curious name while taking a break for a picnic. After lunch, we'll continue our hike to a mountain lodge on Mount Toubkal, located at 3206 meters (10518 feet) above sea level. After six hours of hiking, a comforting dinner will be waiting for us at the accommodation. Then it'll be time to rest up for the next day.

The hike is quite straightforward, but the steep slope of the terrain will make it seem difficult in parts. But the views along the way will make it all worthwhile! This place has been described as "the most fabulous mountains in Africa". And with the incredible views it's not hard to understand why! After a picnic in the afternoon, we'll walk back down to Imlil, where we'll enjoy a tasty dinner and spend the night in a guesthouse.
