Hello My name is Aziz, sometimes called Aziz Number One ! come from an old well established Tangier Berber family with a long tradition of hospitality and welcoming. I learned as a child to always make the visitor feel welcome in my home and in my country. I studied languages at the University of Fes, which is the oldest university in the world, located in one of Morocco's most beautiful cities. By then I had already travelled all over Europe and was familiar with the European scene. After college I decided to dedicate myself to a career as a guide and tour operator, opening the many doors of Moroccan life to the visitors who come here seeking peace and entertainment. My clients over the years have included the likes of Irish rock group U2, film director Baz Luhrmann, and actor Richard Harris, perhaps best known for playing Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies. I am especially proud of the tour around my own town , Tangier, and its environs, which I have undertaken with family groups, individuals, and tour groups. This might involve suggesting the ideal restaurant or visiting the magnificent Cap Spartel where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea, I will always show visitors the historic old town and the walled delights of the Casbah - one of the most romantic places in all of Morocco. I especially enjoy doing a tour which concentrates on the Tangier of the painters Delacroix and Henri Matisse. Both painters spent a lot of time here. The locations they painted, and the places where they painted, are still here to be seen. Because of its magical light, Tangier is very much a painter's city and I am a painter myself in my spare time. Tangier is associated with the Beat Generation (Paul Bowles, Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs) and several locales associated with them, such as The Tanger Inn, are still in business. The Tanger Inn is an old gay-friendly club, and this is why the Beats felt comfortable there. Alternatively, I am happy to provide a personalized tour of Morocco, tailor made to suit your individual interests. Visits to Fes, Casablanca, Rabat, and Marrakesh are always hugely rewarding, and allow me an opportunity to indulge my passion for architecture, history, and art. I enjoy an extremely good working relationship with the world famous Minzah Hotel and with all the other leading hotels in Tangier. Whether you want a quiet day in the countryside, a night on the town , a snack in some obscure hole in the wall eatery or a lavish feast in one of the legendary traditional Moroccan restaurants, it will be my pleasure to be your friend and guide.

Overview of your Tangier tour

Tetouan, a charming Hispano-Mauresque town, plays on the mixture of cultures whilst remaining guardian and shopwindow for its most beautiful traditions. The medina of Tetouan and its unique network of shaded alleyways, is a UNESCO-listed World Heritage Site. Its large mellah (Jewish quarter) was called Little Jerusalem. It is the most lively area after nightfall. Here, the souks are well separated, each trade occupying a precise perimeter. Tarafin street, which is lined with jewellery shops, leads to Hassan II square and the Royal Palace, a fine example of Hispano-Mauresque architecture. To the west, on the modern side, the new town, El Ensanche, can be found. Its small buildings of five storeys maximum, with shops on the ground floor, were built under Spanish protectorate.

Tetouan is known as "The White Pigeon". A largely white painted medium-sized city with dominantly Andalusian Flavor. Moroccan, Islamic, Phenician, European and Spanish (Andalusian) architecture are harmoniously merged together. The Big Mosque, Spanish Cathedral, Babu Saidi, The Kasbah The Medina and Hassan II Square are proof examples that make of Tetouan a historical melting pot of cultures. Here are some points: -The old Royal Palace, a 17th century building, at Place Hassan II(Hassan II Square) is itself a reflection of the Hispano-Moresque architecture. -Place Hassan II, where the old and new town meet, is the dynamic heart of tetouan -Old medina part(a UNISCO world heritage site) that is rich of history. It was a pirates hub and once the capital of Spain's colony. The Romans destroyed the city at some point then was repopulated in the 16th century. -Archaeological Museum and the Museum of Moroccan Arts.
