My name is Abdelghani , and I am an official tour guide in Morocco. I obtained my BA in English language studies, and also a professional certificate in Tourism and Patrimony. I am an alumnus of the prestegious American exchange program Fulbright through which I served as a Foriegn Language Teaching Assistant and a cultural ambassador of Morocco at the University of New Haven in the state of Connecticut, USA. As a tour guide I have built wonderful reputation collaborating with local and international tour operators, travel agencies, tour leaders , cultural centers , and individual visitors. Some of my clients include : Intrepid , Gate1, Overseas Adventure Travel, and many others. My tours focus mainly on the cultural, historical, and social component relevant to my homeland . I like my tours to be informative, interactive and spontaneous rather than scripted. Conducting tours and sharing knowledge about the local culture is one of my passions rather than just a profession. - BA in English language studies - BA in Tourism and patrimony - Fulbright program Alumnus - Licensed Tour Guide and Group Assistant - Member of the local guides association of Rabat I am not a driver.

Abdelghani was a fabulous tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and communicates exceedingly well. What I appreciated the most was that he didn't just speak to the sites in front of us, but shared other cultural tidbits and useful information. For example, he explained about the two local languages Arabic and Berber as well as the use of French and English. He even taught us a couple of useful words. He was easily able to answer all the questions we asked him and we asked many. We learned a lot. Thank you Abdelghani.

We loved our tour and would highly recommend it - and our wonderful host - to anyone visiting Rabat. Abdelghani is knowledgeable and clearly has a passion for Morocco history and the city itself. The tour was exactly what we needed to get a broad understanding of Rabat highlights and neighborhoods which made it easy to figure out where we wanted to spend more time. Don't hesitate to book this tour.

We had only one full day in Rabat, but how lucky we were to get to spend it with Abdelghani. His exuberance and love for his city was infectious. His knowledge of Rabat and its history, as well as side information we never would have discovered on our own made our day full and rich. Abdel truly made our time in Rabat special and memorable. We hope our paths cross again one day.

Abdel is a consummate professional. On time arrival, clean car, with a competent & friendly driver, he provided a well-researched tour of Rabat's main sites. Almost six hours of conversation about Morocco's history, religions, peoples, culture, international relations and sports. He recycled ideas at different moments to connect and refresh what he was sharing. He was permanently mindful of my safety and well-being. I highly recommend Abdel.

Abdel provided us with a very fun and engaging tour of Rabat. I appreciate his flexibility when I informed him that due to a change in our lodging we would be pushing it to arrive by 9am. He was nice enough to change things around and accommodate our needs. He is very informative, and we received a well rounded tour of the area through local eyes. Thank you, Abdel, and your driver was so kind, we enjoyed the tour.

Abdel was terrific! Knowledgeable, easy companion to be with, friendly, good pacing. He was particularly helpful in helping me obtain REAL argon oil from a reliable person in the medina. I had previously bought second rate oil. Highly recommend him!
