Maryem Kouna
I was born and raised in a small village in Draa valley and grew up in a family that valued education and hard work. I had a strong interest in learning a new language and following my baccalaureate, I moved to Marrakech to continue my education, graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in English literature.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"My other passion is cooking (and eating) Moroccan cuisine, so I enjoy sharing our local specialty of couscous with our guests along with other off-the-beaten path locations and cultural experiences. But no matter what you choose to do or what style of vacation you wish to have, I can help you develop a trip plan and itinerary that matches your interests."
How did you get involved in travel?
"My passion towards the tourism field began when I was a kid. Since I am from a region known for its historic kasbahs, I often encountered tourists and dreamed of one day working within the industry. As luck would have it, I met the owners of Morocco Immersion Tours & Adventures through a mutual friend and was hired by them as a sales assistant which was my first step in making that dream a reality.
"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One of the finest and most satisfying trips that I’ve had so far was the time I visited Essaouira. It was an amazing place for quiet wanderings and strolling alongside the city’s high battlements and its calm tight-fitting alleys in the old medina while also discovering its historical and cultural background. Essaouira is still one of my favorite destinations in Morocco even though it is always windy there!"

Maryem was very responsive from the beginning of the planning and organized an amazing trip for our family of five. She planned an unforgettable trip beginning and ending in Marrakesh, with a 4 Day Loop across the Atlas mountains through Dades Valley into the desert. Every Riad and Kasbah we stayed at were great. The camel ride at sunset to the luxury camp... Read more

We had an amazing experience in Morocco! Our tour manager, Abdelhadi Oulaid, was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, funny, kind, accommodating, and we always felt safe! The Riad in Marakesh were lovely, although the room itself had an odd smell to it and there were no windows. Our desert stay in Agafay was unbelievable and highly recommend it! Essaouria is beautiful and we enjoyed the hotel and location. We would visit again and stay another day or two. Overall, a wonderful excursion.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re delighted to hear that you had such an amazing trip in Morocco and that Abdelhadi made such a positive impression.
I’m sorry to hear about your experience at Riad Nesma, especially the smell and lack of windows in your room. I’ll be sure to pass that along to my team to help improve the experience for future guests.
It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed Agafay and Essaouira and that you’d consider returning for an... Read more
