Did this hike with my wife and really enjoyed it. Ascent wasn't difficult at all, but descent was a bit tricky; our guide took us down a rocky path that was a bit slippery. It was fine but we should have said something sooner and taken a more straightforward path. Other than that, the views from the top were great, food was provided, and pickup/drop off was easy (make sure to check where you are staying, not all riads are accessible by car). Everyone was friendly and our guide taught us a lot as we walked through the village. Thanks and would recommend.

Enjoyable hike with an affable guide

Austin_K, Jan 2024

Enjoyable experience which didn't feel crass or clichéd. Hassan the guide was affable and happy to discuss Berber culture, life in Morocco and nature. He clearly enjoys his job. I am quite fit, but the astent of 1000m was challenging for me. Luckily he was happy to stop anytime I asked him. Just one thing of note, I think the taxi driver who took me from Marrakesh to the hike expected a tip. I did not provide one.

Wonderful hiking in a local area in the mountains!

Started the day with a pick up right on time. Mohammed greeted us with a lovely smile, and drove us to a women’s cooperative selling Argan oil and other products. We were the only people on the tour, so it was basically an exclusive tour for the two of us. We got bread with dips for free and they showed us how they make the oil. It was an expensive shop, but we hope that the money goes towards the local women. Once we were in Imlil, we were met by Hassan who was our guide for the day. He took us to his family house and gave us mint tea, then we trekked for 5 hours up Mount Touja. He was helpful and kind, especially when we coming down the mountain. He brought lunch with him and we ate at the top of the mountain, sufficient food for everyone. We had a wonderful day! The guide did touch both me and my friend quite a lot to help us up the mountain or stop us from slipping, which sometimes seemed a little excessive. It could have been innocent, but I am not sure he would have done the same if we were male. Just be aware if you are not used to physical touch from strangers.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hi Many thanks for your review that was very helpful , great to hear that you had great time with our team . Just to explain few things , the money spent in the cooperative your visited on the way up to the trek goes to the women working there not all of it but most of it . The other things about our guide helping you on the way down from the summit , please bear in mind that all our guides and responsible and married and look after families so helping our guests doesn't mean anything bad to them , they just don't want you to fall down . Thank you again for your visit and hope to see you next time for another hike .

Just book it!

This was the best day of our time in Marrakech. The day started with a pickup from Mohammed who told us all about the areas we were driving to on our way down to Imlil. The hike was just us and our guide Hassan, who asked how far we would like to go and chose a route accordingly. Lunch and snacks were delicious and carried by Hassan. The views were stunning on the whole route as we walked through the Berber villages and up into the mountains, then round to decent via Tamatert. I would recommend wearing good hiking boots as it can be wet and loose underfoot, and bringing a good amount of water. It’s an incredible place to spend the day made even more special by Hassan and Mohammed.

Highly recommend

Hassan was very helpful and kind person. Beautiful views. Good trek. Make sure you were trekking shoes. Highly recommend

The hike, the luncheon

1andtwins, Mar 2020

Great excursion in every way... Shockingly amazing and excellent deal for a whole day packed with activities. The tour guide was prompt for pick up at the hotel with a full cooler of refreshments in the car. We toured from 9am: - stopped by for mountain photos - stopped by authentic enough villages for oil making (we got to try out the grinders) - then camel riding - hiking - lunch - waterfall The best thing about it was each stop could be as long or as short as you wanted it to be. Hiking had beginner, intermediate and advanced. We got a really cool hiking tour guide, Hassan, who was a hiking pro. But designed our tours to fit our energy levels but also challenging us. The views were well worth every part of the hike as well! Recommending to all.

Journée inoubliable

Catherine_G, Mar 2020

Journée inoubliable dans les montagnes de l'Atlas. Nous avons passé un moment fort agréable avec note guide Hazma berbère et originaire du lieu. Ce qui a facilité la compréhension des us et coutumes des habitants de la région. Il a été très agréable et compétent et a su nous transmettre un aperçu a la fois culturelle et économique de sa région. Les paysages étaient magnifiques . Merci beaucoup Hazma.
