This tour was the way to see A LOT of Morocco in the allotted time. It was a great way to get a taste of a bunch of the big cities and some of the smaller ones too, so you can choose which city you can return to next time for a longer stay. Hotels were average- some could have been a little better- but overall I think the necessities of cleanliness, safety, and location were met. Transportation was good. We had some great drivers- especially for the longer hauls(adnan and yosef) who were really great! Guides-were good for the most part. Some went above and beyond and some just did the basic quick tour. Food/included breakfast- mostly at the hotels were pretty good. Most had the standard Moroccan items and some of the American/ European items as well. I actually really liked this tour, it was full of information and gave a good overview of Morocco. Everything went well, I do think they should add some free time to the tours before returning to the hotels or going back on the road- this would really make it great, otherwise I would definitely recommend this tour! Thanks & safe travels!

It was a wonderful trip. Only two things. The guide in Marrakech was dismissive and rude. He marched through the Medina without letting us look at things, forget buying. The hotel Villoubilli was not 4 stars. The trip to desert and the hotel Diddis in Dadea was outstanding.
Travel Atlas Mountains your way
For hiking enthusiasts, Mount Toubkal treks stand out as our most popular Atlas Mountains experience. The main routes vary from 3-7 days, with most travelers choosing the classic ascent to North Africa's highest summit at 4,167 meters. Our customers particularly praise the gradual acclimatization, starting in Imlil valley before heading to the Neltner Refuge base camp. The guides earn consistent praise for their deep knowledge of local culture and safety protocols. Many travelers tell us the highlight isn't just reaching the summit - it's the overnight stays in traditional Berber villages like Aroumd, where home-cooked tagines and mountain hospitality create lasting memories. The trek through Mizane Valley and past the shrine of Sidi Chamarouch adds cultural depth to the physical challenge.
See all Hiking & Trekking toursDesert and mountain adventures come together nicely in our 3-5 day combination tours. You'll start with hikes through the impressive Todra Gorge, then switch to camel trekking across the rolling dunes of Erg Chebbi. Our travelers love how the days unfold - morning walks between palm trees lead into evenings around the campfire, with the Sahara sky full of stars above. If you're into cycling, we've got routes through the Atlas foothills that work for casual riders and serious mountain bikers alike. The gravel bike tours are particularly good; you'll ride technical trails through beautiful valleys and stop at small villages to meet local families for lunch. The afternoon rides offer some amazing views - you can see all the way to where the mountains meet the Sahara.
See all Active toursFor people who want to really get into the Atlas Mountains, several excellent tours combine hiking Toubkal with proper desert experiences. Our travelers keep telling us about their guides who take them through old Roman ruins at Volubilis, past local pottery workshops and right into quiet Berber communities. The full tours run 8-10 days, giving you enough time to properly explore both the mountain terrain and Sahara landscapes. Most include nights in traditional desert camps after riding camels across the dunes. What makes these special is how they mix proper hiking challenges with real cultural moments - you'll eat with local families, see traditional crafts being made and learn firsthand about Berber mountain life.

Discover Atlas Mountains tours for every budget
For budget-conscious travelers, several excellent Atlas Mountains treks stand out. The classic 3-day Toubkal trek gives you great value, with our travelers consistently praising the local Berber guides and hearty mountain meals. You'll start from Imlil, trek through traditional villages like Aroumd and make your way up to the Toubkal refuge at 3,206m. Another popular option combines the High Atlas with Sahara adventures - you'll spend three days crossing mountain passes, exploring the Todra Gorges and sleeping under desert stars. Our customers particularly love how these tours include traditional guesthouses, authentic local food and also experienced mountain guides who really know the terrain.
The luxury mountain tours blend challenging hikes with some seriously comfortable places to stay. Take the Valley Trek tour - you get an eco-lodge with a swimming pool right there in Ouirgane National Park. The days are spent walking through copper-green valleys and juniper forests, then you return to proper en-suite rooms to relax. We've also got tours that pair mountain trekking with luxury desert camps; think proper bathrooms and traditional Moroccan food served around the campfire. Our guests really appreciate having guides who speak several languages and also those comfortable evenings after a good day's hiking.

The quick 3-day Atlas trips focus on getting you up Mount Toubkal, with most tours leaving from Marrakech. You'll drive through Moulay Brahim Gorges to Imlil where you meet your guide - our travelers really connect with local experts like Mustafa and Hassan who know these peaks inside out. Day one keeps things gentle with valley walks and mint tea, then day two takes you up to Toubkal Refuge at 3,206m. The summit push starts early around 5am, but those mountain-top views across the Atlas range and Sahara make it worth it. If you're after something less intense, we've got valley treks with eco-lodge stays and pool access that still let you experience these remarkable mountains.

Another popular choice combines Atlas trekking with desert exploration; you'll join small groups of like-minded travelers and share authentic experiences in Berber villages. Our solo guests particularly value the traditional guesthouses where meals are shared family-style, making it easy to connect with other travelers. The winter treks require proper gear but offer incredible snowy vistas, while spring and autumn tours let you enjoy mild temperatures and clear mountain views.
Couples seeking romance in the Atlas region often choose our 6-day tour combining mountain villages and desert glamping. You'll start in Marrakech's atmospheric medina, then head into the mountains for stays in traditional kasbahs. Another excellent choice takes you through the Todra Valley's dramatic gorges before settling into a luxury desert camp - our couples especially love the private sunset camel rides and candlelit dinners under the stars. The mountain guesthouses offer private rooms with authentic charm, while the desert camps provide comfortable beds and proper bathroom facilities. What makes these tours special is the perfect mix of adventure and comfort - you'll explore remote villages by day and enjoy cozy evenings together.

Another popular choice is the 3-day Toubkal trek, which our younger travelers love for its physical challenge and sense of achievement. These groups particularly enjoy the rooftop bars in Marrakech, the chance to meet other travelers around desert campfires and also the authentic home-cooked meals in Berber villages. The pace is energetic but well-planned, with enough free time to explore local markets and try optional activities like quad biking.
Our senior travelers tend to choose tours that blend comfort with cultural experiences. The Imperial Cities tour includes gentle walks through the Atlas foothills, comfortable 4-star hotels and expert guides who really know their history. Another excellent choice explores the Todra Valley at a relaxed pace, with time to appreciate the local architecture and traditional crafts.

Spring opens up our widest range of Atlas Mountains options as temperatures warm and color returns to the valleys.

- Summer 2025
In summer, our Atlas Mountains tours start early to avoid peak heat but offer their own special charm. The Toubkal routes remain most popular - our guides plan dawn starts to hit the summit in perfect conditions. Many people choose tours that blend shorter hikes with cultural stops, like visiting Ouarzazate's film studios or wandering the kasbahs of Dades Valley. The mixed desert and mountain trips work really well in summer - you'll hike early, relax by the pool afternoons and also spend comfortable nights in traditional mountain gîtes where good airflow keeps things pleasant.

Fall creates perfect conditions for serious Atlas trekking. Our Imperial Cities tours with mountain sections prove especially popular - you'll discover Fez and Marrakech before heading into the Atlas for 3-4 days hiking through valleys painted in autumn colors. The Toubkal treks offer incredibly clear summit views that stretch right to the Sahara edge. We've got excellent tours combining mountain village stays, nights under desert stars and also visits to historic places like Volubilis. The steady weather supports multi-day treks while cooler temperatures make afternoon walks through Todra Gorge and also the Atlas valleys much more enjoyable.

- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter brings a different side to our Atlas Mountains tours, where the snowy conditions actually enhance many trips. The Toubkal trek takes 3 days with proper winter gear - we provide crampons and ice axes when conditions require them. Many of our travelers tell us they prefer these quieter winter months for the crystal-clear mountain views. You'll spend nights in mountain refuges that keep surprisingly warm, and after long snowy hikes, the hot tagines really hit the spot. Several tours mix the winter hiking with stops at cultural sites like Ait Ben Haddou, where you can warm up exploring the ancient kasbah's hidden corners and learn about local Berber life.
