          It has several peaks over 4,000 m (2.5 mi), including the highest summit in North Africa, Toubkal (4,167 m (13,671 ft)) and further east Ighil m'Goun (4,071 m (13,356 ft)) the second major summit of the range. At the Atlantic and to the southwest, the range drops abruptly and makes a transition to the coast and the Anti-Atlas range. To the north, in the direction of Marrakesh, the range descends less abruptly. On the heights of Ouarzazate the massif is cut through by the Draa Valley which opens southward. It is mainly inhabited by Berber people, who live in small villages and cultivate the high plains of the Ourika Valley.

          Highly Recommend - Toubkal 2-Day (A second time with Toubkal Trekking)
          Highly recommend. This is my second Toubkal climb with Toubkal Trekking after joining them in 2015. They are brilliant. Super friendly, safety focussed & honestly - the most considerate / attentive guides (thanks Mustafa!). Great communication start to finish. The 2-day trip is incredible and the best way to climb Toubkal as you get the alpine start/sunrise climb. Important that you have the fitness / experience to do a 5 hour day 1 & 10 hour day 2 though with 3000m ascent. Very good value for money with Basecamp stay, lunches, dinner and Marrakech RTN transfer & your guide included in price.

          Must-do experience!
          My 2-day trekking adventure to Mt. Toubkal with Toubkal Trekking was absolutely extraordinary! From beginning to end, everything flowed seamlessly. Despite being in a large group, the shared enthusiasm made the journey even more enjoyable. The professional guides were outstanding—encouraging, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to creating a memorable experience. The night in the mountain hut was surprisingly cozy, setting the ideal tone for our incredible summit. Standing at the top of North Africa's highest peak at sunrise was an awe-inspiring, once-in-a-lifetime moment. If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure, I can't recommend Toubkal Trekking enough! P.S. And let’s not forget the culinary experience! The meals were delicious, traditional Moroccan dishes that added an authentic touch to the whole journey!

          Great Experience
          We had a wonderful three day ascent to Mount Toubkal. Communication with Mustapha was easy and straightforward during the planning phase. Our tour guide Noureddine was very professional and nice to spend time with. We felt well guided and in good hands all the time and enjoyed great food as well. I would go with this operator again.

          Spectacular Experience
          I had a wonderful excursion up to the top of Toubkal. It was reasonably challenging, but I felt well taken care of by my guide Yousef and had an amazing cultural experience. The mountain refuge was warm and accommodating and the views on top of Toubkal were stunning. Thank you!!!

          Group Atlas tour including Toubkal Summit
          We did a 6-day trek for university exercise science students, including the summit of Toubkal. All staff and students enjoyed the experience immensely, and the staff team is looking forward to returning next year. The tour team were friendly, highly-experienced, and professional throughout, prioritising the health and safety of the group. Highly recommended.

          6 day Atlas Mountains Trek.
          Fantastic trip. 6 day Atlas circular Trek including summiting Toubkal with a team of 4. Alternatively staying in hostels & camping. Food and support from the Guide, Cook & Mule Drivers was fantastic throughout. Friendly & polite team. The Mules were well cared for and not overloaded, which was important to us also. Highly recommended.

          We had a great trip. Everything was well organised. Our guide Hassan (1) and cook Hassan (2) together with the Mule Jacky lead us thoughtfully and with great attention to the top of the Toubkal. Everything was perfectly organized by Toubkal Trekking from the beginning to the end. Thanks for the excellent service

          Amazing trip made possible by an amazing operator, guide, muleteer and cook! Will definitely be back and can’t thank Mohamed and Moustapha enough for organising the trip and for getting me up there. Simply the best people to get you to the highest point in North Africa!

          Everything went so smooth, from the pickup at the hotel to the actual trek, the guide, etc. Everybody was very helpful and willing to make our trip one to remember. Kudos to all the team ! If you have time make a detour to see the rests of the airplane, if only for the history behind ;-)

          16 to the Summit of Toubkal
          An amazing and brutal experience at the same time. The views were out of this world and we experienced all weathers over the course of 2 days - sun, cloud, rain and snow but thankfully summit day was clear so we could enjoy the feeling of being on top of the world! The Toubkal Trekking guides were superb - Nordine and Brahim were patient, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. We took a long time to complete the trek but that’s to be expected from a group of 16 with varying levels of fitness and different levels of acclimatisation to the altitude. Our guides were surprised no one turned back! The food was excellent and plentiful thanks to our dedicated chef and our duffel bags and mattresses were safely transported (although a bit wet after the rain on the way to base camp) by the mules and mule driver team. Thanks to the Toubkal Tekking team for a wonderful experience!

          Toubkal Trekking up Mount Toubkal
          An incredible experience, organised by Toubkal Trekking. You have to do this! It is hard, no hiding from that, but it is doable - especially with the expert support of Toubkal Trekking. We had 2 guides, a number of chefs plus mules. We stayed in Dar Imlil the night before (which was absolutely perfect - pool, good local food, lovely staff, fantastic rooms and v reasonably priced). The refuge at base camp is better than we expected - comfy beds. Bring ear plugs as you won't get much sleep due to all the 'comings and goings'. This is a brilliant trip with a real sense of achievement for everyone that completes it. Outstanding views and definately 'one for the bucket list'! I would 100% recommend Toubkal Trekking. Gary

          Winter trek to Mt Toubkal
          15 (age 43- 55 years old) of us decided to go and climb Mt Toubkal. I contacted Mustapha (I found him through a Google search ) around six weeks before the trip. From the UK, we reached Marrakesh on 23rd February. He arranged everything, from pick up from the airport to drop off at the airport, all accommodation and meals at a reasonable price. We stayed the first night in Imlil, where we started the hike. After finishing the hike, he booked us in a nice hotel in Marrakesh ( hotel Del Rosa), where they served a lovely buffet, although we were very late, nearly midnight when we reached the hotel. Mustapha is a lovely, cheerful chap who is happy to accommodate all your reasonable requests. The hike itself was a lot more gruelling than we expected. We did decide to go for a winter trek despite advice that the winter hike is challenging. We wanted to do a winter hike, which was worth the pain. I would recommend Mustapha’s company.

          Fabulous! Their 5* reviews are 100% deserved!
          Initial contact was with Mustapha who responded quickly, I was a little concerned about our pick up in Marrakech but Mustapha gave me his WhatsApp number and everything went smoothly. We can not thank Ibrahim (our guide) and Hassen (our chef/mule 'driver') enough for doing such a great job. The food was great and there was plenty of it. Ibrahim was patient and knowledgeable, and celebrated with us at the summit even though he has done it 80+ times before. The hike is a challenge. We were there in June so very little snow/ice remained....only had to walk over about 10metres of it so no need for crampons. The weather was perfect and the views were stunning. The base camp was a lot better than I was expecting. Shared dormitories, but the possibility of a hot shower! Big thanks to Toubkal Trekking for doing such a great job, I would not hesitate to recommend them.

          Big thanks to Mustapha and his team of guides, cook and mules. They looked after us very well, despite some illness which was bad luck. Team of 9 from UK 6 who summited 😃

        We took one day trip from Marrakech to Imlil. Huge thanks to our guide Mohammed Sarkozy who took care of us perfectly. He showed us all the best spots and shared a lot of interesting information about mountains on the way. We felt very safe, we could easily see that he is a very experienced guide. Also a warm and funny person. We recommend the trip and especially the guide if you want to run away from noisy Marrakech!

        We had an amazing day trip from marrakesh. Our highlight was walking in the mountains to Mustapha's village and having a delicious hoke cooked lunch on his house's roof. Mustapha was a great host and took time to chat to us and make us feel very welcome.

        I would definitely recommend it

        I booked this tour through my Riad and was picked up from the Medina. The tour guides took amazing care of me all day and were fun and friendly. They did a great job of answering any questions I had about the Berber lifestyle and kept exceeding my expectations of every activity. I'd thoroughly recommend this activity, it was a highlight from my time in Marrakesh and was great value.

        Awesome day hiking organised last minute by Mustapha at Toubkal Trekking. Our guide Mohammed led us on a 15km hike with 1,000 vertical climbing up a local peak. The Imlil valley is stunning and hiking in the Atlas was the highlight of our trip. Thanks Mustapha and Mohammed! 🙏🏼

        I had a lovely experience on this tour. Our tour was intimate -- just myself and a lovely couple from France. Our knowledgeable and friendly guide switched easily between French and English as he responded to our questions about the Atlas Mountains and the Berber communities. Our meal in the mountains was incredible and unforgettable. A great tour, a professional guide, and a wonderful value.

        Fantastic views all along the way. Only a short trip from Marrakech, and a good way to get away from the hassle of the city for a while. Nice, quite, relaxed time, taking great pictures and admiring the stunning scenery. Best time to do it is when its not too hot, I went there in winter and we had a lovely sunny day, perfect for trekking. Along with the Ouzud waterfalls tour, were the best I did while in Marrakech. Most recommended!

        My trip to Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains was my first time to the African continent. My favorite experience was being able to learn and breathe the rich culture and history of the Berber villages and Atlas Mountains that Mustapha provided. The opportunity to stop and have dinner with the valley in the background was something you would only imagine in a fairy tale. By far my favorite experience on international travel to this day. Highly recommend booking a culture filled and adventure filled experience with Mustapha.

        This trip was such a highlight of our honeymoon through Spain and Morocco. An easy, yet rich experience that we decided upon last minute gave us such a greater perspective of the beauty of Morocco, camels, views, mountains, food and the people. Loved getting out of the city for a day. Would have done longer had we had the time. We hope to be back for more!
