What They’re Saying
I was recommended MaraTrek from a friend who lives in Morocco. I was certainly not disappointed. Omar was extremely accommodating the month prior to my arrival in Imlil. I had changed my plans a couple of times and moved that dates and it was never any issue for Omar.
Travel from Marrakech was smooth and on time and contact with Omar was always qucikly responded to. Mohamed my guide met me in the village and we set off on our first day of walking. This was a solo trip for me so I spent the whole time with Mohamed it was always a great atmosphere we had times of talking and also times of just walking silently in the peace of the mountains. It was a lovely experience.
Hussan cooked and prepared food on our lunch breaks and evening meals, I joked everytime that there was enough for 2 people. The whole trip I was looked after with great hospitality. Mohamed set me a good walking pace and we made the ascend in good time.
The refugee is really quite impressive and was a great time to relax and chat to others making the climb.
I can not recommend Omar, Mohamed and Hussan enough. They were all fantastic. If you decide to book an experience with them I can guarantee you will be welcomed and looked after as a friend. I am hoping to return to Morocco again in the near future and I will 100% ask Omar if Mohamed and Hussan are available for another adventure.
Thank you all!

Amazing from start to finish. The organisation was excellent and we didn’t have to think about a thing, we just enjoyed the trekking. Our guide, Omar was exceptional and not only did he looked after us every step of the way, he taught us about local culture and went above and beyond in every way. The food was absolutely amazing and SO much of it. We didn’t need snacks at all! The Atlas Mountains are spectacular and we can’t wait to go back and explore some more. Absolutely brilliant trip, thank you.

Omar was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and most helpful to us in so many ways. He cares about your experience. Most importantly, he provides an authentic (not touristy) experience. You get a better understanding of Berber culture, Moroccan history and current events. And he is just fine to be with!!!

I had a great time with Omar as my walking guide. I spent 2 days walking with Omar. On day one we hiked up to base camp on Toubkal in Morocco and back again. Omar was engaging and engaging about the walk, the local culture and Moroccan way of life. On day 2 we walked through local villages up to the ridge line. 2 great days
Thanks

Omar was a very thoughtful and interesting trekking guide. We did a four day hike with him through Kasbah du Toubkal, and he made it a great experience. He knows very well the local area, the history and culture, and we would recommend him.

Both excursions were brilliant. Having a local guide for toubkal is the way to go, Omar has all the local knowledge and contacts to make sure everything goes smoothly. Our chef Hassan was brilliant as was the mule. There are some fantastic wee places to stay which Omar arranged. Bring a wee biscuit or 2 for the Toubkal terrier that might follow you up.
Camel riding and desert overnighter was great fun, long enough journey to get there by car, happily we stopped off at a few decent sights en route. Omar arranged a great driver (Mohamed) and 4×4. Some great chats were had. Highly recommend.

We had truly incredible time in the Atlas mountains. Our guides were fantastic and looked after us so well, but best of all were really awesome guys to spend a bunch of time with hiking in the mountains. Highly recommended!

We started trekking after breakfast in Armed village beneath the mighty mountains. We met our mountain guide Omar. And we started… so exciting. Walnut trees and cherry trees in bloom. Crisp cool air.
We went up along the beautiful river to the Holy Shrine of the Djinn King. Omar told us much, a most educated, caring and gentle guide. One of us rode a mule uphill and really enjoyed it.
🏔 Finally mountaineering top Tizi Izgarn 2565 m above sea level. Winds and changing temperatures. Today with mountain guide Omar. Flowers, waterfalls, sheep, goats and chipmunks on the way up .. 😀👍🏻
A lovely day! What an adventure!

Recently Omar guide us to the top of the Jbel Toubkal in the high Atlas. He quickly knew our wishes and helped us through the tough parts with our safety as his first priority. Without him we would not have made it to the summit. He also is very nice to be with and has a lot of interesting thought.
Omar once again thank you!

Every aspect of our trek was wonderful. Bus driver picked us up from our hotel and dropped us back as arranged. Omar was waiting for us to begin. You meander through beautiful scenery, passing through the odd village while climbing to the first pass. Lunch exceeded our expectations. Overall the walk is quite challenging with some narrow paths but never dangerous. Omar and team are really nice guys and we highly recommend it as a memorable day out.
