Salam and Marhaba! Welcome to Morocco, the land of the setting sun. ​I am an official, licensed tour guide with the Moroccan Ministry of Tourism (License G/N 814) with over 20 years of experience sharing the wonders of my country. I holds degrees in English Literature and Socio-Linguistics from Cadi Ayyad University in Marrakech, and spent time teaching before dedicating my career to tourism. ​Marrakech is a city blessed with a wonderful climate, cheerful people, and breathtaking sights. After years of collaborating with major travel companies, I now specialize in designing customized, flexible, and deeply informative tours for families, small groups, and solo travelers. My goal is simple: to bring both the vibrant magic and the authentic reality of Morocco close to your soul and eyes. ​Beyond guiding, I offer comprehensive travel assistance, local tips, and activity planning. While I am a licensed professional driver myself, I always use private, comfortable, air-conditioned tourist vehicles with a dedicated driver, allowing me to focus entirely on being your personal expert. ​If you are planning to visit our beautiful country, I am ready to serve you. Cheers!

Overview of your Marrakech tour

This is a tour that I recommend for the first visitors to Marrakech. If you pick me as your guide you will no only learn the history and the culture of Marrakech but you will also be entertained by listening to the stories of ancient times. You will be picked up at 9 am from your hotel to see the 12th Koutoubia Minaret which is one of the three most perfect Islamic religious structures in the world. Visit the ruins of the Badie palace which was built in the 16th century. Hidden away behind the walls are the Saadian Tombs. The Mausoleum displays a very high level of decoration, using traditional stucco, Granada-style wood carving.

Today we had the pleasure of being guided thru Marrakesh by Simo. He is not only one of the sweetest human beings but also extremely smart. He has great knowledge of history, geography & religion. We have used many local guides around the world and he is one of the best. He has a good driver so that you are never waiting to go to your next location. We felt we got a very good tour of the important sites in the city and learned a great deal. You will not go wrong using Simo as your guide. Thank you Simo!

Mohammad was superb. He reached out to us via email before our arrival introducing himself and giving us some travel pointers for Marrakech. During the tour was friendly, knowledgeable, and it was an excellent way to explore Marrakech's rich and varied history. We would highly recommend Mohammad to anyone coming for a visit.

Mohamed was such a wonderful tour guide! My cousin and I traveled to Marrakech and wanted to see as much as we could in a short amount of time. Mohamed took us everywhere and taught us so much about the Moroccan culture! We spent two days with him and felt so fortunate to have him as our guide. We spent one day in the city and one in the mountains. He took us around in a very nice car and took us to all great places! You are in very good hands with Mohamed!

Mohamed A. is an excellent guide. Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed his extensive knowledge and his kind personality. Our teenage children were captivated by the historical sites and the cultural experiences we shared with Mohamed. We highly recommend Mohamed (and his wonderful driver, Aziz) to fully enjoy Marrakesh.

Mohamed A. was a remarkable and perfect guide to Marrakech. My friend and I arrived from the airport 2 hours after our tour was supposed to begin, but he generously, and easily pushed back the start time. Mohamed is articulate, friendly, funny, very on top of the history of the city and its monuments, and altogether the best possible introduction to Marrakech. He made us feel like we were locals, making it unexpectedly easy and enjoyable. I cannot say enough great things about him. Fantastic.
