Mount Toubkal Trek in 2D/1N Private From Marrakesh

Everything was well organized. Rachid provided for us private parking (it's optional but worth it, costs only 2€ as I write this) and has been there before scheduled time. Guide Mohamed was keeping good pace and kept good care of us along the way and at the refugee (he took blankets for us, he gave us tea when we arrived the refugee). Mohammed has positive attitude and you can tell he likes what he's doing. During the whole trip there was plenty of tasty food (lunch and dinner during first day and breakfast and lunch at second day).

We met Rachid in Imlil and immediately knew we were going to have an amazing adventure!  Rachid hiked with us up to his village of Armoud, where we were welcomed at his family’s guesthouse.  We enjoyed an amazing family tagine for dinner! The next morning Rachid’s father delivered a warm breakfast, and we were introduced to Rachid’s his brother Mohammed, who would be our guide for the next two days – it is a wonderful family effort.  Then Hameed, an amazing cook, joined us with Shakira (the mule who carried our bags and all of the supplies and food needed for the two days).   It was a great team (and we appreciated the support!).  After a beautiful day of hiking up to basecamp where we had and a great dinner and enjoyed amazing stars. We settled in early to be ready to summit the next day.  Even with the 3:30am departure, Hameed had a warm breakfast, coffee, and tea ready to help nourish us for the journey - Thank you Hameed!!  Summitting was hard, but Mohammed was an exceptional guide, providing positive encouragement the whole way.  We were rewarded for our hard work with incredible views and a great sense of accomplishment.  Toubkal was the highlight of our 15 days in Morocco! We returned to basecamp (and another great meal from Hameed). The descent made for a full day, with lots of time to visit with Mohammed and learn more about his community and Moroccan culture in the High Atlas.  This adventure is not to be missed and Rachid and his family made it the best trip possible.

Rachid was the best guide anyone can ask for. He accomodated our needs very nicely and effortlessly helped my friend and I climb Toubkal in very little time during the winter. We enjoyed our time in his guesthouse and the food was amazing, great accomodations. I am happy to have visisted and can't wait to go back to Morroco again one day! This is an experience that I will never forget!
