I'm a native of the deserts of Morocco. I grew up in a nomadic camp in the Sahara desert near the city of Zagora, immersed in a culture of hospitality and adventure. Few things are more fulfilling than sharing my love of the Moroccan landscape with visitors. One of the best ways to experience the Moroccan desert, a City Tour with Camel Ride and quad tour enables you to cover a good deal of ground up-close and quickly. In this case, I'll take you to see a variety of desert features, including rocky terrain, dunes and rustic Berber villages. The desert is my home, and I look forward to sharing it with you.

Tangier Tour Reviews
“Perfect day in the market! ”
We had such a great time with Rababe! She was punctual, professional and friendly and gave us lots of information about the market and Moroccan culture and history. She was very patient with us as we took numerous photos, asked questions and entered multiple shops. We would not have had the same experience without her, she absolutely enhanced our day. Our only regret is we had to leave! We have since told many other travellers about our experience and encouraged them to seek out Rababe for an amazing day in the casbah.
“Warm welcome in Tangier”
With a last minute itinerary change, we were most fortunate to schedule a tasting/walking tour with Rababe. Extremely personable and knowledgeable, she offered significant insight into Tangier's history, culture, religion, people and food while navigating the streets of the Medina and kasbah. We were quick to note that Rababe is a considerate, genuine, warm and kind woman. During a return visit we will be privileged to once again spend some time with Rababe, further exploring her wonderful City and the many culinary delights offered.

“Rababe was a delight”
We so enjoyed our day in Tangier with Rababe. She was on time when she met us at the port & her English was amazing. We toured the old town & markets, had lunch & learned to make chicken pastilla at her home. Rababe is gracious, informative & a great ambassador of Tangier & Morocco. No pressure selling or carpet store tours as is common with guides. Don’t hesitate to book with Rababe & you will always have a friend here with a kind heart.
