    Kind and willing to customize your experience

    Jamaal is so kind and thoughtful. His communication was top notch. He was able to modify his tour for what worked best for my sleepy and jet lagged family. He taught us a lot about Marrakech in a short afternoon through the medina and showed us some interesting and unique experiences we would not have found on our own. Thanks so much Jamaal!

    We A week ‘mum and daughter’ trip to Morocco

    Jamal arranged our whole trip in Morroco from start to finish making our experience so easy and comfortable. His knowledge and friendly manner made us feel safe and at home immediately. The day tour we did around the Medina in Marrakech was so interesting. Well worth the time and money. He has very good contacts so booking restaurants and Riads is done with ease. I can highly recommend using Jamal for any Morocco trip.

    Response from the operator: Hi Joanna, Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 It was truly a pleasure helping you organise your Morocco adventure and making sure you felt comfortable and at home throughout your journey. I’m so happy you enjoyed exploring the beautiful Medina of Marrakech and discovering its hidden gems. Your trust and recommendation mean a lot to me. I hope to welcome you back to Morocco one day for another unforgettable experience! Jamal

    A must do Day 1 in Marrakech

    Jamal is amazing. He was recommended by one of our professor friends who took a bunch of kids on a tour in Marrakesh with Jamal. Super kind and laid back. From Morocco but lived in Australia a bit so has perfect English with an Aussie twang here and there! Really great guide. Made us feel super comfortable to explore the city after doing the tour on day 1. He took us to around the Medina and explained they history of the city. We stopped in some cool antique shops and spice shops with zero pressure. We actually loved the spice shop so much we bought a bunch of stuff. Also told us the does and donts of the city. Truthfully though it was a very kind city and once you learn not to get hit by a motorbike its pretty relaxing! Highly recommend Jamal. Do it day 1 so you get comfortable in this unique city!

    How many days do you need in Marrakech?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
