Azul. That's how we greet in Berber. It is my mother tongue and Morocco's indigenous language. I was born and grown up in Sijilmassa, a Town with deep culture, history, authenticity, simplicity, heritage and huge tribal diversity. It is located at the large oasis of Tafilalet at the heart of Sahara desert, and the oldest trading and civilization zone in Morocco. I got my bachelor's degree from the University of Meknes “English department” but I also went to Shenzhen in China for Mandarin language classes. And I am also a holder of a national tour guide license officially from the ministry of Tourism officed in Rabat. I took the path of my ansisters almoravid dynasty who moves from the desert to found Marrakech. Marrakech is a vibrant home city that I love and appreciate very much. I love adventures and I am a kind of person who always has new plans and ideas. My happy times are those spent with family and friends. Welcome not only to be my guests but also to be part of friends and family Deeds always speak louder than words . . . . so I look forward to meeting you in person, and soon! I am very happy and excited to welcome you and introduce Marrakech from a very local perspective. Welcome! Asalamu Alaykum!

My tours were born from my passion for traveling and studying other cultures, from my avid late-night reading, and from meeting amazing, bright, and talented people from around the world. And, of course, it sprouted from my love for storytelling :). Now, there are 10 of us - guides in Morocco, the Netherlands, Belgium, Serbia and Hungary. We are historians, designers, physicists, journalists, sociologists, and art historians. I am thrilled to share my knowledge and show you these fabulous and hidden places from a tourist's perspective. My team would be delighted to accompany you on this adventure full of unexpected discoveries as we travel through the centuries and immerse ourselves in the local culture!

Marrakech Tour Reviews
“Perfect day!”
Adil was a delightful guide, just perfect for us. The tour group we were with had already taken us to see all the major sights but we wanted a private tour of the souks, not just the regular run through of cheap, schlocky merchandise. Adil delivered. He took us to some lovely places where we found just what we were looking for. He even helped with the negotiating. Very personable and helpful.

“Fantastic tour of hidden places in Marrakesh ”
I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Medina of Marrakesh. There are so many hidden places that you would just walk by and not understand what they are. Abdellatif’s tour shows you hidden places and explains the history of the Medina, which is currently disappearing under our noses. Every year that goes by, it becomes more and more difficult to save these historical places within the Medina and by having a walking tour with Abdellatif I really could understand the history, and set up of the entire Medina in a way I never could have without his expertise. It was amazing to walk around and see all the tourists just walking by places, or shopping in cute shops, not knowing the real history the places. Very worthwhile if you want to understand , this very special place. Abdellatif was very professional. He arrived early and was very kind and generous with his information. I would highly recommend him to anybody.
