“Great day of hiking as a day trip from Marrakech - A great day out that started being picked up from our Riad in Marrakech by the lovely driver Kareem, who drove us up to the starting point for the hike. There we met our guide Ibrahim, who took us out for the day. He saw that we were relatively fit as a couple so suggested we did a different walk than the normal one so that we could see the best views, and the harder walk was definitely worth it!” - Reviewed on 2024-09-18
