Not the tourist trail. Real stories, desert nights, Berber hospitality, and Atlantic waves.
Hi! This is Asia and Saad! We are a Polish-Moroccan couple and we lead trips to Morocco together.
When I started working in tourism eight years ago, I dreamed of traveling the world. I’ve taken care of tourists in Albania, Spain, Bulgaria, and Cuba, but Morocco intrigued me so much that I decided to stay here longer.
Today, Saad and I live in one of Casablanca’s traditional neighborhoods, seeking new inspiration from Moroccan everyday life every day. During our trips, we introduce participants to the world of local culture, customs, and flavors. Our stories, often written through real life, can be far from textbook. We’re always happy to stray off the beaten path to stop for tea at a local home or listen to the stories of children running along the road. This is what makes up the Morocco we want to show you!
During this trip, you’ll experience Morocco from the inside—your own, authentic, and often beyond the pages of travel guides.
