Marrakech Trekking and Hiking Trips

7 days was well worth the extra time to the long weekend. Amazing local guides, varied scenery and excellent food for a camping trip. the 7 days gave time acclimatise to the heat, to practice getting up at 0600 and to get used to camping. Plus the tour of Marrakesh on the last day was a nice end to the trip.

My 19 day Moroccan trip with World Expeditions was really in two parts. The explorer part where we visited the major destinations and learnt about the culture and history of Morocco. And the second part being the seven day trek to Mount Toubkal. This part was hard work but satisfying with excellent support from porters and the cook. The food was fantastic and much easier than we had had at restaurants. Highly recommended this trip for the adventurous.

Well organized trekking tour, excellent value for money! Plenty of delicious food, knowledgeable and attending guide. Accommodations were also ok. Requires good physical condition. Tipping is expected basically everywhere so remember to add that on your travel budget.

The Mount Toubkal climb was one of the best travel experiences I've ever had. It was really challenging but the sense of achievement afterwards was incredible. I really loved that the tour included two days hiking through the valleys/staying in villages like Aroumd. It was great to get more of a sense of the lives of people who lived in the valley, as well as experiencing the extremes of the summit-climb itself. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a challenge and an adventure.

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.
