Salaam Alaikum (Peace be unto you) Are you looking for an original cultural private tour? Connect with locals, have a deep insight into their traditions and culture. Enjoy an awakening delicious mint tea with some unique traditional Moroccan almond pastries in one of the many crowded suburbs coffee shops around. Learn about the flavorsome ingredients of the pastries and the ancestral preparation ritual of the mint tea. Why not learn the basics of the local language and practice it when bargaining with a vendor and get the best deal? You can explore varied and eccentric street food in a city private food tour as well as bargaining and feeling the satisfaction of getting the best deal when buying a souvenir in a tailor made shopping tour. Do you love cooking, don't you? Then, welcome to my humble abode! My family will be more than happy to help you prepare a famous Moroccan dish and get introduced to all the spices and other ingredients that we use. This will be an opportunity to have an authentic social experience and know how being part of an extended Moroccan family feels like. I am pretty sure you will end up with some valuable local cooking skills that you brag and demonstrate to your friends and family back home. We can also have a whale of a time by exploring the night life and enjoy the bars and restaurants around the city. I have got a multitude of options and ideas that you will certainly appreciate. Well, if you feel these are your expectations, then, I am the tour guide you must be looking for! I am a man of conversation, I like to unveil taboos and push the boundaries! I am not a dull narrator of historical facts. I believe that each place has a unique story to tell. I love to spontaneously exchange my experiences and socialize and connect on an emotional level with my guests, giving them as much information as possible. With me, in one or multiple day private tour, consider yourself in a live TV documentary that is meant to investigate information, correct stereotypes and get rid of clichés. Casablanca holds a great value for new visitors, it is in fact a kind of an introductory to the Moroccan culture. It is the country's melting pot that gathers locals from different parts of the kingdom with their varied languages, dialects and accents. I was born and bred in Casablanca and I had a happy childhood, full of laughter and love, in a very close-knit family in the suburbs. Reminiscing about that time evokes a huge nostalgia in me, every time I perform a tour and pass by squares and alleyways, boulevards and coffee shops, where I used to spend time with my naughty childhood friends. From Abu Dhabi where luxurious hotels are gold plated and where I spent 3 years of my career. Then, to an authentic Moroccan resort where I spent more than 9 years as a concierge. Almost 12 years to forge my ability to adapt to different nationalities and sharpen my professionalism and creativity. I am a curious traveler too! I am keenly interested in visiting new places. I have visited many European countries; Barcelona and Amsterdam are my favorite. Honestly, I wish everybody on the globe could have the possibility to travel. This would definitely promote deeper mutual understanding between nations and make the world a better place. I want you to feel free to contact me if you have a particular tour theme in mind or a place you want to visit within a specific frame of time. I will be delighted to advise and help you put your itinerary together in a private tour. I am flexible and would spare no effort to make it happen. I do have access to varied car types and take care efficiently of all the logistics. I am an expert in tailoring luxurious tours, recommending places, making hotel, restaurant, ticket reservations. I have a wide knowledge of the history of Morocco and participated in a multitude of customized tours to different parts of the kingdom.

Overview of your Casablanca tour

Every traveler is different, which is why I don't believe in one-size-fits-all itineraries. Instead, we'll work together to create a journey that matches your interests, travel style, pace, and budget. Whether you're drawn to history, culture, food, photography, Jewish heritage, hidden gems, or authentic local experiences, I'll help craft a trip that's uniquely yours. As a locally owned business, your investment directly benefits the communities we visit—supporting local guides, family-run accommodations, artisans, drivers, and small businesses rather than large corporations. I also believe choosing a guide is a personal decision. That's why I'm happy to schedule a FaceTime or video call before you book, so we can get acquainted, discuss your ideas, and answer any questions. It's a great way to ensure we're a good fit and to help you feel comfortable knowing exactly who will be guiding you throughout your Moroccan adventure. Let's create the Morocco experience that's right for you.

An absolutely spectacular experience!!! My husband and I wanted a personalized trip with a local guide to celebrate our anniversary. We wanted the closest, most authentic experience that we could have. And booking the private custom Multiday tour with Issam J did not disappoint. From day one, communication with Issam was easy and effective, he always responded in a timely manner. Not only is Issam an excellent communicator, but he is also warm, kind, personable, patient, professional, organized, prompt, knowledgeable, respectful, through and thoughtful person with a wonderful sense of humor. Issam went above and beyond to ensure that we had a memorable experience. He truly listened to what we wanted and developed a personalized itinerary that reflected our interests (adventure, culture, history and everything in between) and even included some bonus activities which I loved and appreciated. Every detail was carefully thought out and planned by Issam. He was with us every day providing insight, and clarity on various topics. My husband and I learned so much during our time with Issam, he exposed us to the beauty, culture, history, and architecture of Morocco as well as and so much more. In addition to having Issam's expertise, we did not have to worry about finding transportation in or between the cities that we visited. As Issam works with a wonderful driver whose name is Abdul. Abdul is an extremely skilled and safe driver who is also very warm, and kind. You can tell that Abdul takes pride in and enjoys what he does. He was always on time. The vehicle was not only immaculate but also comfortable. I am not sure if there are enough words to truly describe how marvelous of a time that my husband and I had in Morocco and it was all because of Issam. We are eternally grateful to Issam for everything and will never forget this experience. Anyone who is searching for a memorable Moroccan experience with an exceptional guide, should look no further than Issam J.

We wanted to get to know Morocco from a local’s perspective, and Issam delivered along with our driver Abdul on our 14-day custom tour Morocco. We explored Casablanca, Fes, Marrakech, & Ouarzazate and village/towns. Through Issam’s expertise, we truly got to experience (ancient and modern) culture, art, history, people, attraction/sights, and food of Morocco. Issam guided us with grace and insight through Morocco’s cultural and physical labyrinths, glamor and reality that is the beauty of Morocco. From 5-star dining locations to grilled camel prepared by a local vendor on the side of the road or in a medina, and to off-the-beaten path local spots. Along with Kas Ait-Ben Haddou, Kasbahs of Tamadot & Moulay Ismail, Bab La Kasah, Volubilis, El Jadida, Medina’s of Fes & Marrakesh, and then some! But truly, the greatest treasure is that we have now two new friends, Issam and Adbul.

We spent 10 wonderful days in Morocco in the hands of Issam and his driver. We had an idea of which cities we wanted to visit and Issam made it all work,. We saw everything we wanted to see and more. Having a private guide gives you complete flexibility in your trip and is money well spent. When our desert camp was washed out in the rain, Issam found a new camp for us. When we wanted to shop, he knew where to go. He knows great places to eat in all price points throughout the country depending on what you want to do. He not only met our needs, but anticipated them. He delivers a great experience and is just plain fun to be with! We have used many guides throughout the world. Issam is our best guide EVER. If he is available, book him. If he is not available, change your dates!

Issam was an absolutely amazing guide. We spent nine days with Issam touring around Morocco and he went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. He planned a fantastic itinerary and was quick to change things on the fly when needed. He even went the extra mile to check off everything on our Morocco bucket list. Abdo, our driver, was also amazing.

Issam was an amazing guide right from the start. He started out by personallt showing up at the airport a day early to greet us and bring us to our hotel. From there everything went off without a hitch. Every morning he showed up on time to pick us up and take us on our daily amazing adventures. As we toured around the country he was very insightful and brought culture history and meaning to everything we saw. He was also very in tune with our needs noticing if we wanted to stay somewhere longer or maybe even skip something. Our tour of the country ended up in a love for the country but much more importantly a lifelong friendship with Issam and his family. We are looking forward to many more years of getting to know them. You will not be let down if you book a trip with Issam.

Issam was terrific. We had a 12 day trip driving around. He is incredibly personable, open and knowledgeable about Morocco's fascinating history and culture. He tailored our tour to our interests, and readily emphasized the blending of Morocco's many cultures. He was also very forthcoming about his personal story and through our discussions conveyed an understanding of contemporary life. Amin, our driver, was also superb, navigating tricky roads. Together, Issam and Amin provided a really great trip
