Our story

How We Travel Morocco started

Youssef was born and raised in Morocco. He grew up between ancient medinas and the road south to the desert, learning the things no guidebook explains: which gate to enter a souk by, how to read a taxi fare, when a mountain pass is worth the drive, and what Moroccan hospitality, Karam, really means.

Olivia arrived as a visitor and stayed for the country. She knows the questions travellers actually ask before they come: is it safe, how do I get from A to B, what should this cost, and which riad is worth the money.

We kept answering those questions one message at a time, for friends and then for their friends. This blog is where we put the answers in one place, in the order you need them.

What we do differently

Local knowledge, honest advice

Everything here is written by us, from our own trips and years of hosting visitors.

1

We visit what we recommend

Riads, restaurants and road trip routes are checked by us. If we wouldn’t send our own family there, it isn’t on the site.

2

No tourist traps

No forced shopping stops, no overpriced tours. We point you to the craftsmen, cafés and quiet corners we use ourselves.

3

Practical and specific

Train times, realistic prices, common scams, what to pack and how long each place needs. Advice you can act on the same day.

How we work

Travel built on trust

Respect for the place

We promote travel that honours local traditions and supports Amazigh and Arab communities, and we say when a site deserves quiet rather than a camera.

Your money stays local

We point to independent drivers, family riads and local guides, so what you spend reaches the families who host you.

Clear about money

Some links earn us a small commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes what we recommend. See our affiliate disclosure.
