About Mounatas: Local Mountain Guides in Imlil, Morocco
Who We Are
Your Local Guide in the High Atlas
Hi, I’m Hassan Id Mansour, a passionate tour guide and the founder of Mounatas.
Since I was young, I’ve dreamed of sharing my Amazigh culture and the hidden beauty of Morocco with travelers from around the world.
Through Mounatas, I organize authentic journeys that explore the Atlas Mountains, the Sahara Desert, and Morocco’s ancient cities — combining adventure, culture, and connection.
For me, guiding is more than a job — it’s a way to tell the stories of my land, my people, and my heritage.
Every step tells a story, and mine begins with the mountains.

MOUNATAS
The word “Mounatas” has its roots in the Amazigh (Berber) language and culture, where it refers to the act of coming together for a common purpose. It embodies the spirit of community, cooperation, and collective effort—particularly when people unite to work on something as a group.
In traditional Amazigh society, this concept reflects a way of life where individuals support each other through shared labor, whether it’s farming, building, or celebrating cultural traditions. It’s about solidarity, mutual support, and working hand-in-hand—values that have long been at the heart of Amazigh mountain communities.

You get more than a guide with Mounatas We had a great trip to the Atlas Mountains and wouldn’t have made the summit of Toubkal without our guides. Thanks to Hassan for putting up with my bad sense of humour and making me and my fiancé feel really safe, relaxed and at home amongst friends for the whole trip!See you again soon, I want to do that scramble up the Ras “Inshallah”.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()
