★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 717 reviews · 2 days · from $96

Leave Marrakech for a guided two-day walk through the High Atlas. You’ll cross the Tizi Mzik and Tizi Oujdid passes, eat Moroccan meals, sleep in a village lodge, and learn about Amazigh life. Guides such as Kamal, Mustafa, Hassan, and Mourad are praised for patient pacing and route changes when snow or rough ground gets in the way.

“Kamal was such a great guide! He is so knowledgeable about the history, culture and environment which he is leading you through. He set a good pace always looking out for those of us who were slower. He was gentle and kind in helping us down steep rocky slopes. The hike wasn’t too strenuous but it is at a high altitude so going a little slowly is helpful. (We are in our late 60’s and hike every day at home. If you are not used to hiking this might be strenuous.) The terrain is rocky so you need good shoes. The guest house we stayed in was cozy and warm…”
