Since the 1990s Rediscover the World has offered an exciting and comprehensive programme of trekking itineraries. All are designed to be independent and private to each client and to be integrated into our tailor-made holidays. It is because of this kind of freedom they are very popular with those who wish to get away from it all; with Rediscover's trekking holidays you can enjoy the incredible beauty of the Atlas Mountain region at your chosen pace and for the duration and route of your preference.
At Rediscover the World we believe in providing our customers with the best service and key to the enjoyment of any holiday in our opinion is the balanced and up-to-date information offered by the tour operator. We are confident that the information and planning we provide, when taken in conjunction with a reputable and reliable guide book will enhance your holiday experience. It is also important that at least one of us has experienced the wonder of High Atlas hiking and is able to answer many of your important questions. Andy has trekked in the Toubkal and Tichka regions and visited many of the places included on our hiking itineraries; he has also made it to the top of Mt Toubkal – many of the photos on our web site were taken by him and his travelling companions on his various trips to the region.
All our guides are fully licenced and are experienced from an early age in the areas our trekking itineraries cover. Our local trekking planner together with our head guide, Houceine, regularly review our small team of guides to test their English, local knowledge and guiding abilities. There is no school of English in the Atlas Mtns so each guide has worked very hard to learn the language. We believe that a local, licenced guide will offer more insight on the High Atlas region and Berber people as well as enhancing the local economy. This is preferable and safer in our opinion than sending in a guide from outside the area whether that is the UK, Australia or even elsewhere in Morocco.
Whilst we try to ensure that our descriptions are accurate for most people wishing to undertake hiking in the Atlas Mountain, clearly there are many differing factors that contribute to the difficulty of a particular hike. These include the length of day, terrain, altitude and weather conditions. Since these factors are necessarily variable, any system of grades can only provide a general indication. We have tried to make our system as clear as possible but it cannot account for personal abilities or experience.

The months from December through to mid-April could possibly preclude the Toubkal summit climb to those not used to, or geared up for, winter conditions which necessitate the use of crampons and ice axes. Morning fog and heavy snowfalls during the same period may also prevent ascent to the Toubkal summit. We shall advise you wherever possible of any adverse weather conditions and alternate peak climb and itinerary prior
