Marrakech Like a Local: Private Full-Day Tour with Hidden Gems

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.
