The only problem was that one of my bags didn’t make it onto the mule coming down from the mountain. Luckily I was staying in Marrakech for a few days after so was able to retrieve it, however my favorite t shirt was missing. Over all positive experience.”

“We joined the 2-day trekking tour in the Atlas Mountains and really enjoyed it. Note: basic fitness and no fear of heights are required, as parts of the trail run along steep drops. Hiking poles are helpful (our guide could lend some), and proper shoes with good grip are essential since the paths can be rocky and slippery. Day 1 was about 2h40 (+600m / -400m) with arrival at the lodge by 4 pm. Day 2 took around 3h45 (+300m / -800m), and we were back in Marrakech at 5 pm. For us as beginner hikers, the pace and distance felt perfect, though some in our group found it too…”
