Rdouane, mountain guide, smiling on the trail with a group behind him

Hello, I'm Rdouane

I was born and raised in the High Atlas, a Berber from Imlil, at the foot of Toubkal. As a child I loved the mountains, and nature has always felt like a good friend to me. When it was time to choose a career, I didn't want to leave. I wanted to work in my own place and give something back to the nature I love.

Becoming a guide was my own idea. I love being outside and meeting people from different cultures all over the world. I studied for two years to qualify, and I'm now a licensed mountain guide (Licence No. 1373) with more than 8 years of experience. I've climbed Toubkal more than 200 times and guided guests from all over the world. I also studied biology at university in Marrakech, so I know the mountains as a naturalist as well as a local.

I guide in both the mountains and the desert, and I manage Auberge Matat, where many of my guests stay before and after their trek. You get my whole team (guides, drivers, muleteers and cooks), all led by me personally.

  • Licence N° 1373
  • 8+ years guiding
  • 200+ Toubkal summits
  • Biology graduate

Why book with me directly?

I guide every trip myself. Many guests who book through agencies end up walking with me anyway, so why not book with me directly? You get the same guide, honest prices and no middleman.

What I'm proud of

My guests. I do this work from my heart, and I take the time to explain and answer every question.

My promise

Your departure is guaranteed and I won't cancel your tour.
