This vantage point offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the mountains and the beautiful Azaden Valley. Amidst the serene Jeneper Forest, take a moment to relax and enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by nature.

Our group of five had an amazing time during the three-day Toubkal trek organized by Marrakech Desert Trips. Nidal was incredibly prompt in responding to our questions and emails even before we arrived in Morocco. However, it would have been even better if we had received more comprehensive information during the initial booking process, so we wouldn’t have needed to ask ad-hoc questions later on. Our guide, Mohamed, was truly exceptional. He was not only informative but also patient and kind. He ensured that we had an outstanding and unforgettable experience. Although the summit day turned out to be a bit more challenging than we anticipated, having crampons was a lifesaver. It’s important to ensure you’re properly fitted with them before leaving Imlil. The meals were a delightful surprise – far better than our expectations. We were always well-fed, and there was always enough to go around. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed this experience and would definitely consider returning to this company for future adventures!

What an amazing three-day trekking adventure! Even before we left home, Nidal’s communication was excellent and consistently on point. she assisted us in organizing all the necessities for our trip. She was available to address all our inquiries through email, WhatsApp, and even phone calls. Our guide, Mohamed, was truly exceptional. His extensive knowledge and friendly demeanor made him not only a guide but also a friend during our journey. We felt a strong sense of reliability with him, and his presence truly elevated our experience. I wish I could have someone like Hassan on every trek I plan. The scenery was absolutely amazing, and we’re beyond glad we made this journey. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this agency to anyone contemplating a Mount Toubkal trek, and I wholeheartedly endorse Mohamed! Once again, thank you for providing us with this unforgettable experience!

My 14-year-old son and I had an amazing time climbing Toubkal. Abderrahim was an excellent organizer, ensuring everything was punctual and offering great recommendations. Our experience was so enjoyable that we decided to extend our tour to include the Sahara desert. I highly recommend this!
