Ahmed did a great job of coordinating our stopover in Morocco. He has a very nice/comfortable Mercedes van, and lined up great guides for us in historic areas where he was not licensed to provide guide services.

My name is Ahmed, and I'm a Berber native of the desert south east of Morocco. I was born and raised in a small village in the desert. My family were nomads, but when the oldest of my brothers reached school age, they decide to settle in that village for the reason of being in school. I started guiding tourists in my desert when I was a little boy and upon early adulthood, after my primary school finished, I moved to the nearest big town to continue my schooling. I got my baccalaureate degree and 2 years of Tourism Professional school to become a licensed guide. I'm Certificated as a tour guide by the Ouarzazate Tourism Institute for guides training.

Ahmed is personable, intelligent, interesting and organize, balancing life between his native Berber village/city life in Marrakesh. Incredibly interesting stories. Our trip to Essouira was everything we could have hoped--great driver/car, women's argan oil cooperative with a special guide there who was excellent (Samia) and then, after a seaside lunch (which was included!) Rashida in the old medina and seaport of Essouira was also excellent. Ahmed answered all our questions, went out of his way
