Marrakech Tours in August 2027

I had a really enjoyable time travelling with G adventures. It is a safe and organised way to experience new things for the first time (such as summoning the highest peak in the Atlas Mountains).

The 5-day trek through the mountain villages was much nicer than opting for the 2-day hike up Mount Toubkal and back. I enjoyed seeing the villages and the insight shared by our guide (Ibrahim) was memorable. Saw damage in some of the villages from the recent earthquake... the villagers are very resourceful. Our guide, Ibrahim, provided incredible insight into the Moroccan (Berber) history and way of life and he contrasted it very nicely with modern day Morocco and life in the cities. This made for very interesting conversation during our trek and over meals. This is something that cannot be obtained in a larger tour with guides that are not local.

We?ve been on so many GAdventures trips, but we loved this one the most. We loved specifically how we saw mountains, dessert, cities, there was so much variety. It was truly a wonderful trip that we will never forget. Our CEO very much became our friend by the end of it.

Beautiful places like Casablanca, Fez, Marakkech and a great group. Our tour guide Nabil was very patient, polite and knowledgeable. The driver (forgot his name) was also very helpful. I can't wait to start a new adventure with the team.

The mount toubkal trek is an amazing week away. We were looked after the whole week, kept well fed, and taken up the climbs at a good pace. There were great views throughout, and plenty of rest time from the treks.

This Exodus Mount Toubkal trip is a little longer than some and I feel it is much better for it. The route undertaken allows for good altitude acclimatisation over the common two day itinery direct from Imlil village. I/we found the estimated walking times on the trip notes to be quite conservative, our group must have been pretty speedy. Most days we arrived at camp at least an hour under the estimate. The camps themselves are wild camps with no on site facilities other than a portaloo toilet tent. Local people or team members did bring bottled water and fizzy drinks to the camp for purchase, with an altitude price premium. The tents used were by Salewa and a good size, they seemed quite new. At Toubkal base camp our camp was set up a few hundred metres downhill of the two constructed mountain refuges, across a stream. It was a short, few minutes, walk to the refuge where you could use (for a small charge) the showers or buy snacks, water and fizzy drinks from the kiosk shop. During the trek all food is provided and it was very good, my only slight criticism is that maybe there could have been some more variety but I also fully understand we were on a mountain... where Tesco don't deliver. For any trip like this we often find ourselves deliberarting over the best kit and clothing to take. My departure was 6th August. It was blazing hot in Marrakech and on our last full day in the Medina it was 47C. On the low slopes of the first day of hiking it was 41C. On summit day we started off before dawn and it was 18C. Heavy thermal gear (and sleeping bag) was not required. I did not need my hybrid fleece jacket at all but we are all different. A long sleeve heavy merino t-shirt and wind jacket was as heavy as I went on summit day. What took me by surprise was the rain. Don't forget your rain gear. In the afternoon of our summit day there was a torrential rain storm for maybe two hours of non stop very heavy rain. In fact every afternoon in the mountains there was short lived rain and thunder. I don't know if this pattern was a high summer thing or all year round. I'm not the biggest user of walking poles ever but was glad I brought them for the summit decent. It's often steep with a lot of loose stones just waiting to put you on your bum.
