WHY SHOULD YOU TRAVEL TO MOROCCO WITH ME?
I am from Morocco, I know Morocco Intimately. I am a travel expert specializing in Morocco. I want you to love Morocco as much as I do.
Most travel operators will set you down with a somewhat nice and standard itinerary. You’ll be in Morocco but you’ll never feel fully immersed in the culture. You will be rushing around from one place to another without a moment to reflect and a chance to take it all in.
With my bespoke Moroccan itineraries, however, I work closely with my well-vetted local contacts, trusted guides, and professional drivers; seamlessly conveying you from authentic hotels to immersive experiences like cooking classes, and evening walks in the heart of the medina, and luxury encampments in the breathtaking Sahara Desert.
You’ll visit Berber village locals in the Atlas Mountains; hike the Atlas Mountains, and visit the hidden gems that only a travel specialist from Morocco can offer you.
