Ali Moujane

I was born and raised in a small village situated in the heart of the Atlas Mountains, and was fortunate enough to be raised in a family with a deep-rooted passion for travel. Since 2015, I have been actively involved in the tourism sector, which has broadened my horizons and enriched my knowledge base. Through my extensive travels, I have had the privilege of exploring various breathtaking destinations within Morocco.

As a travel enthusiast, my fervor lies in facilitating transformative experiences for our guests by introducing them to the diverse cultural landscape and hidden gems of my country. I derive immense gratification from sharing the unparalleled beauty of Morocco with our guests and observing the positive impact it has on their outlook and perception. It is my privilege to help them unravel new adventures, unravel the charm of untapped places, and immerse themselves in novel cultural encounters.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"We organize tours in the Atlas Mountains, Deserts, coastal areas, and Imperial cities.

The activities we are specialized in are the following: Mountain biking, Family Vacations, Local life, custom-made trips, and cultural tours.
"

How did you get involved in travel?

"My passion for travel started at an early age, especially when I went on my first trip with my familly to explore new places in the High Atlas Mountains, new people, and new adventures. Since then, traveling becomes a sort of inspiration to me and fills me with a sense of enthusiasm to gain essential knowledge about this field. Traveling, for me, is like meditation; it makes my mind relaxed and motivates me to learn and discover new things. Looking at huge mountains, diving into gorgeous sceneries, enjoying glorious food give me a pleasure that is incomparable to any other joy."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"The most unforgettable experience I have ever had was climbing the highest peak in North Africa "Mount Toubkal" (4167m).

I was 18 years old when I had such an incredible experience climbing this gorgeous summit with the help of our mountain guide, my brother, who kept encouraging me to keep going until we reached the peak. The hike to the top was very tough but it was so worth it when we got there, observing the beauty of the snow-capped mountain, and enjoying beautiful landscapes. That adventure motivated me to take other trips and discover other places that are worth visiting in Morocco."

Tayebb was our main guide from the beginning (Tangier) until end (Marrakech), very professional, polite and knowledgeable about history of the region. Two of us went on the Morocco tour with him.
Camel ride in Erg Chebbi with Sunset was memorable. Hotels and Camps were high class except the hotel Kasbah Tirit in
Ait Benhaddou was substandard, to the point of lack of sanitation (roche infested). I highly recommend not to use this hotel.
Overall our experience was excellent. I will highly recommend for anyone.
