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

Do you like the countryside and the beauty of nature? This is your tour. If you pick me as your tour guide you will not only be introduced to the Berber culture and traditions but you will also learn about the different languages and dialects that the Moroccans speak. This trip takes you to the prettiest Berber valley situated 60kms south of Marrakech. Berber villages and hamlets perched on mountain slopes of the High Atlas range. We will stop to take photos of the little terraces of various crops and other wonderful and exotic sceneries. We will visit a potter workshop , ARGAN women cooporative and some stores of pottery and varied samples of minerals and crystals. Walking to the waterfalls is optional. After enjoying lunch in one of the local restaurants in Setti -Fatma small Berber town we will drive back to Marrakech. This is a private and flexible experience.

Mohamad was a fabulous tour guide. He took us through the Ourika Valley, giving us great knowledge about the area and the overall culture of Morocco. He was well versed in the history of the area. We stopped at some great cultural experiences along the way and had a wonderful tour guide for a hike to a waterfall. Our guide took us off the beaten path to avoid some of the crowds and took us through a local village where we bought some great local products. We had a lovely lunch at a restaurant right along the river. I really enjoyed the tour with Mohamad and would highly recommend his services to other travelers.

Another excellent day tour with Mohamed. So much knowledge shared on not just the Ourika Valley but Morocco, culture, religion, history and the Berber. I do think that it is invaluable when visiting another country and in our case, another continent, to use the services of a local guide and Mohamed is the best. Will we come back to Morocco? Yes definitely. So many UNESCO sites to see! Thank you Mohamed!

Mohammad made our visit Marrakesh very special. His easy going attitude and flexibility exceeded our expectations. He was knowledgeable able to recommend areas of interest that we would not have known existed and that allowed us able to make the most of our limited time. We highly recommend Mohammad and Tours by Locals.
