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.

“Great time in Casablanca”
My morning tour of Casablanca was just wonderful. Although there were some unexpected and unforeseen circumstances from my side, my guide, Houssaine, made every thing work. He's a really knowledgeable, friendly and flexible person, with a sly sense of humor. This made for a really enjoyable and easy-going introduction to Casablanca.

Your Own Morocco. Ourika: The Kingdom of "Noble People"
About half an hour's drive away from Marrakech, it's a different world. Snow-covered mountain tops, blossoming valleys, foamy cascading mountain rivers and waterfalls, water mills, mud-brick villages clinging to mountainsides that seem impossible to reach, suspension bridges and terraced vegetable gardens. But the main thing is that a different group of people lives here. A group with its own culture, traditions, language and script. And the stories of this culture will surprise you.
