Outsourcing tour of Marrakech and beyond:

We help you avoid any third parties by introducing you directly to the real native artisans, and we help you to discover and explore how Moroccan artisans use local materials to design traditional and contemporary products for the Moroccan and International marketplace.
We take you on a journey through the Marrakech medina, Gueliz, Sidi Ghanem industrial
quarters, and rural regions of Morocco. You will have a firsthand look at where local artisans make their handicrafts, Berber carpets, Middle Atlas rugs, furniture, lighting, and
leatherwork. The nature of handmade goods comes to life when you see the passion,
intensity, and hard work that go into them.

Explore the new city of Gueliz and its world-renowned Yves Saint Laurent Museum, the
Majorelle Gardens and the Berber Museum. Founded by the French Artist, Pierre Berge, and his partner, Fashion Designer, Yves Saint Laurent, these three museums collectively represent how Berber culture of historic Morocco influenced Art, Fashion, and architecture during the French Protectorate and beyond.
Visit Marrakech’s most sought-after chic boutiques and concept stores in Gueliz. This new town’s mix of Colonial and Historic, Art Deco architecture makes it perfect for exploring.
We take you on a private tour to the industrial zones, where contemporary artists and designers have their workshops and showrooms, where you can find one-of-a-kind shops and showrooms from lighting fixtures, fabric, furniture, and other types of home décor to vintage collections of furniture and such. We also take you to rural villages where weaving and embroidery cooperatives are located. You will most likely be invited to sip some Moroccan mint tea while visiting the local artisans.

The red city of Marrakech is called so because of the red color of its buildings. The value and fame of this city are that Morocco was called Marrakech many centuries ago. The Main Square in Marrakech is called the Jamaa al Fna, “the main medina.” Off of that square are what feels like hundreds of little alleyways with little shops all along (called the “souks”, outdoor markets).

The main sovereignties that have succeeded in Marrakech were the Almoravids, the Almohads, the Saadins, and the Mérinides. The major historical monuments of Marrakech are Koutoubia, which is a mosque built of stone and musk whose scent can still be smelled nowadays. It was constructed in the era of Abdelmoumen El Mohad in the 11th century, and his grandson Yacoub el Mansour had decorated it with a minaret that rises to almost 70 meters.
Near this giant monument lies a Kasbah nicknamed the stone castle, which was constructed by the Almoravids. The Badii palace is also considered a wonderful monument whose construction was undertaken by Ahmed el Mansour Dahbi. Dar Si Said and Bahia are other marvels of Marrakech; the former is a museum containing the main Moroccan artistic masterpieces.

In addition to this, one shouldn’t forget to visit the Koranic school that Ben Youssef built by Mouly Abdullah, and Menara, a magnificent lake surrounded by trees and flowers. Apart from monuments, there is a natural variety which we can find mountains of Ourika with its cascade and the high mountain of Oukaimeden, which is the destination of ski amateurs.

A Riad is an enclosed garden or courtyard (also spelled ‘Riyâd’ in some quarters). However, by popular usage, the term has come to represent traditional Moroccan homes, built around such an enclosure, and more specifically, those homes that have been renovated and restored and opened to the public as intimate guesthouses. Nowadays, they are exploited as hotels and motels with traditional Moroccan style. This type of construction, with both public and private rooms organized around a central open courtyard, is a key distinction of Islamic architecture and remains remarkably consistent throughout the Arab world, from private dwellings to places of worship through to the grandest palaces. Subsequently, these remarkable homes have expressed such principles in a highly original and eclectic fashion. Be your Riad is customary or unconventional, your stay promises to be an exotic, romantic, and fully transcendent Moroccan experience.
Hotels in Marrakech have their charm; the most famous one, around the world, is Hotel La Mamounia. Located in the heart of the enchanting imperial city, this luxury hotel has created the intoxicating mood of an Oriental palace. The sprawling gardens are ripe with citrus trees, fragrant rose blossoms, ancient olive groves, and a vegetable garden where one might see La Mamounia’s chefs forage for ingredients to be prepared that evening at the hotel’s three signature restaurants. During some weekends, you can come across many world celebrities walking around these kinds of Hotels & Riads.

  • star rating  Family fun in Morocco  - I could not be more delighted with the service that we received from this company from the day we booked it to the day we were dropped at the airport.... read more We were a party of 12. Nine of my grandchildren plus their partners (all in their 20’s) plus 3 other family members.
    We were met on time by our fantastic driver Ibrahim who stayed with us all week. Our vehicle was a brand new Mercedes mini-bus. We also had different guides to some of the more historic places. Our travels took us from Marrakech to The Atlas Mountains, Sahara desert, Casablanca, Fez and Essaouira. We have unforgettable memories of camel riding into the sunset and dancing to Berber musicians infront of a fire pit late into the night.
    The accomodation was outstanding in old, picturesque Riads everywhere (except luxury tents .with proper bathrooms . in the desert).
    I cannot recommend this company too highly. We received exactly what was promised and they were always flexible if we needed to make a change.
    Ofcourse, it’s helpful to have words of warning. There were some very long days of driving as we covered a lot of territory. This is not a choice for the less fit. Lots of steep stairs, not always with hand rails. . But I am 84 and I made it.
    Also, don’t travel with checked in luggage. You don’t need many clothes and it’s easier to carry small cases.
    This is our experience of just one of the many tours run by this excellent company. Good luck.

    star rating  Exploring Marrakech  - I had a great experience with this company. We used their services for airport pick-up and drop-offs as well as tours/excursions. Drivers Mohamed and Yasser made us very comfortable and... read more are safe drivers on the busy streets of Marrakech. Musafeh, our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge, knew his way around town and very patient as we explored the souks, museum and garden. He guided us safely through the souks. He was very interactive with us through conversations and helped us with the merchants. Top 10 service.
