A little about Kamal and I :

I have been taking small groups to Morocco for 10 years. I love the country and the gentle people you encounter. I have spent a month in Marrakech on my own threading necklaces from local beads bought in the souks.
Our guide and tour manager is Kamal Oujaa who has travelled with me over this time. He knows so much of his country’s history and is generous in making sure we have the best experience. Our trips and contacts have developed over the years. This means Kamal and I can offer you a meaningful experience.
And be flexible in our approach.
More information will follow in a couple of weeks. The cost of the trip is affected by the exchange rate for the $US so we will provide a guide only. I shall send out an expression of interest form soon. We will take 8-9 travellers and places will be allocated on receipt of deposit. Thanks.
