You can review this trip in several pieces. Firstly communication with the company was rubbish. They took days to respond and did not fully answer the questions posed for example what you needed to bring along. Secondly the first part of day one travelling to the Atlas is with other people on a day trip so was was confused when they weren’t equipped for trekking for 2 days. Around midday you separated from them and you are met by your guide for the 2 days and taken to lunch which was very good. Our guide was Mehamad he was very professional and polite. He discussed with us the options for route length, terrain and accommodation to best suit are needs and ability. We trekked for about 4 hours to a guest house in the hills. The Guest house was excellent and the staff very good. The second day my wife was ill but Mehamad was very supportive and assisted in adjusting our route back. After lunch we were collected by a mini bus which again contained day trippers and we had to wait whilst they went on camel rides although we were given tea in the tent whilst out of the sun. So the trip can be split into 2 parts the getting to and from Imlil (start of trek) and the trek itself. The first part and the organisation could have been explained better by the company but the second part which we had selected ie the trek was very good mainly down to the fact that Mehamad was very helpful
