Mount Toubkal Trek-2 day

Good trek with good food and helpful guide. The trek is tough in a way lots of loose gravels. The refugee provides good food, bedroom is warm.

A very tough trek, I summited Kilimanjaro last September but unfortunately did not complete the trek to the summit of Mount Toubkal. I fell short of the summit by about 500 metres (not literally).I probably underestimated the difficulty in trekking from 1500 metres to 4200 metres in less than 24 hours. My colleague had issues on day one and Omar and his team did a great job of helping him back to Lmlil and organising accommodation until I could meet up with him again. I personally had other issues with Omar Adventures. I reached base camp to find that my large rucksack had not arrived at the Refuge. It took a lot of persuading for the team to arrange for my rucksack to be brought to the refuge during the night. Therefore it meant that I had no change of clothes or means of cleaning up before heading to bed. On the morning of departure the transfer to the airport did not turn up.After unsuccessfully trying to contact Omar we took a local taxi from the square in Marrakech. I was later contacted by Omar who admitted he had forgotten to book the transfer and would refund the transfer cost. Not had any contact further on this matter by OA. My experience of dealing with Omar Adventures was that all communication was forced from my side. Not sure I would have been contacted before the trip if I had not initiated the call. In fact he struggled to find the booking. All in all a mixed experience of dealing with OA but a great experience trekking through the Atlas Mountains, albeit very tough.

Toubkal was an amazing experience! Tough going but truly amazing if you're a keen hiker! Although unfortunately we didnt have the best start with the tour company. We didnt get picked up so after waiting 20 minutes, we reached out to them to be told that we should have text them the day before to confirm. They told us that this is written on trip advisor which it is not.. the man on the phone was quite rude and said he would send a screenshot of where it says this on trip advisor but he never did.... He did however organise a taxi for us to meet the rest of the group at Imlil so that was sorted fairly swiftly. The guides were lovely, not that chatty but looked out for us and made sure we were ok, fed and had regular breaks when we needed to. Make sure you message them the day before to double confirm your booking!
