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.

Marrakech Tour Reviews
Ásrún lára J.
“Not up to our expectations”
Hi! Unfortunately the tour was not like the description. The guide sent me a message at 20:20 the night before regarding the pick-up. But there was a problem with the WIFI at the hotel so I saw this message just before 9:00. We did not know this place was so we had to get a taxi. The guide, Mustapha, started by excusing his French and said he spoke Franglais. I speak French and English but my friend only French and the both of us sometimes had problems understanding him. He really has to improve both of these languages. This is not presentable. He did not tell us much, mostly when we asked questions. After the hike up to a tiny waterfall, it was lunchtime. We went to a very nice restaurant with great views to the Atlas mountains. The food was good. BUT in the description of this tour it is indicated that we will have lunch in the guide's family home in a small Berber village. I had decided to book this special tour (rather than somebody else's) because of this upcoming experience. After lunch we drove straight to Marrakech. We asked the driver if he could drop us of closer to our hotel - but no he could not because his boss had booked him on another tour in a short time. So I'm sorry to say that this tour was far away from our expectations. And for this price - I'm almost speechless. Some days after this tour, I met some people from my country who had been on similar guided tours for only 20 dollars. But I want to be clear on one thing - both the driver and the guide were extremely nice and helpful. They took very good care of us and all our needs and did everything we asked for. I'm really sorry for this negative review. Best regards, Ásrún Lára

Dear Ásrún Lára. How are you? thank you for your visit. Next time will do for you a best trip. Best regards Mohamed & Mustapha

“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.
Adil R.
Helloooo Susan and Sally!! I hope you are doing well It was very kind of you to say this!!! I highly appreciated receiving your great review!!!! Thank you sooo much!! Hopefully we can meet each other again!! All the Best!! Adil
