Born in the desert and growing up during the primary school. I was getting inspired by tourists and  people visiting my own village and oasis in Draa Valley to be a tour guide. Moving to Marrakech with my family when I was 13 years old, the inspiration and the dream grew up more  and became a reality.  It was real in 2010 after getting back from the USA in which I worked for the Moroccan Pavillion, in Epcot Center in Walt Disney World, as a cultural representative for Morocco.

So living in Marrakech for about 21 years, studying the history, culture and tour guiding service,  I have become a local Marrakechi tour guide through whom you can find out the secrets and legends of Marrakech in particular and Morocco in general.

An exceptional way to discover Marrakech is to have a local with you while walking in the maze of Marrakech Medina. I will acquaint you thoroughly with the historical and cultural significance of the places and sights you will visit. My tours will be enriched with a plenty of tips and informations about where to try local food, have a Hammam experience or planning other activities. In short, I am committed to deliver a high-quality satisfying tour guiding service that will make your tour more enjoyable.

This local experience will take you to the hidden spots of the Medina. Marrakech Medina has everything surprisingly different. This difference can be felt from the landscape of the narrow streets, the smell of the souks, the people, the cultural and historical monuments and spots. Such hidden spots and secrets are completely guaranteed to discover and enjoy.

Would you like to touch more Morocco from Marrakech? you can join me on a one-day trip from Marrakech to discover the high Atlas Mountains, Essaouira on the Atlantic Ocean, Kasbah Aitbenhaddou or Ouzoud WaterFalls.

You choose your tour, you live a local memorable Experience with me!

 

 

Testimonials about Ismael

Alexandra

Ismail was a wonderful guide, answering all of our questions and giving lots of interesting information about the history of the city, the culture and the people as well as how it is now . He also answered many questions from our group while walking. The pace was great. Good level of detail. Moving along often enough to have us looking at something new. We are huge fans of taking historic walking tours in general. This was as good as any. I feel it is a perfect way to introduce yourself to Marrakech and to some extent Morroco.

Amanda

Wonderful tours with great communication before and during our stay. We did the 'Discovering the Medina of Marrakech with ISmael. ISmael was very knowledgeable and passionate about his city and its history. His English was very good and answered all of our questions with ease. As a bonus, Smail gave us a private walking tour on a separate day that was tailored to our requests. On this tour, he answered questions of a more personal nature and explained things that were not addressed in the group tours. We THOROUGHLY ENJOYED all of our walking tours with ISmael and feel that we have gained not only a thorough understanding of Marrakech and its culture but also a new friend in a far away land! We feel blessed to have met Smail in our travels!
