Can we visit you guys in Morocco?

It's fantastic that you guys put up a FAQ on your weblog! Can we visit you guys in Morocco? Do you have a gite? A mountain shop?

Thanks for the compliments! Although we're based in Morocco on the sunny south side of the mountains(!), we don't (as yet) have a public office - preferring to keep our costs down and run an internet based business from an office in our house. Apart from running commercial guided trips, we have just finished our first book on the region which will hopefully answer a lot of the questions people have when they want to do their own trip.

Whilst there are many gites in the mountains (great, good and not great!) there isn't a single mountaineering equipment shop in the country. General low quality trekky type stuff yes but no specialist mountaineering shop. The reason? - one of high import duties mainly, although with recent trade agreements between Morocco and the EU & USA this may change - slowly! As they say here in Berber "little by little"!
