The Guide

A life spent reading the desert

I was born in Zagora, where the last road south dissolves into the old caravan track. For more than twenty years I have guided travellers across Morocco — leading trekking journeys over the High Atlas, threading the gorges, and crossing the sand to camps I have known since I was a boy.

I speak English, French and Arabic — and the Tamazight of my valley. But the language I care about most is trust. I do not sell packages. I listen to how you like to travel, then I draw you a journey, one road at a time.

The Map

Morocco, end to end

Imperial cities, blue mountain towns, Atlantic surf and the deep Sahara — the places I return to, and the ones most travellers never reach.

Not tours — experiences

Days you will not forget

Sleep under the stars

A private camp in Erg Chebbi — carpets, a fire, and the whole Milky Way overhead.

Ride the dunes at dusk

A camel caravan over golden sand as the sun drops behind the erg.

Luxury desert camp

En-suite tents, lantern-lit dinners and a private dune for sunrise.

Cross the sand by 4x4

Desert pistes and hidden oases on the tracks between kasbah and dune.

Trek the High Atlas

Walk between villages and passes beneath Mount Toubkal with a mountain guide.

Walk the Todra Gorge

Follow the river between three-hundred-metre walls of red rock.

Mule trek to a Berber village

A gentle day into the foothills to share bread and tea with a mountain family.

Catch the Atlantic swell

Morning point breaks and argan hills on the laid-back coast at Taghazout.
