We did a 2 day hike to Jbel Toubkal and it could not have been better! It was our first time above 4000m, but we always felt super safe due to our excellent guide Said who was super friendly & experienced! He was very attentive and somehow always had a good intuition of what we needed in specific moments! Food was also good! Overall a very good experience & can only recommend! :)
