Best of the best tours Parabens Abdul - Well to start we meet Mr. Abdul right in the first picture a super quiet person. He asked us what we wanted to see and do, and you sent us as soon as you wanted.
I really wanted to see the historic area but out of the tourist and it was there that started the new experience inside the medina I can say that I came delighted and will come back to repeat the experience and with Mr. Adbul and can tell he knows well and still had the experience of taking breakfast inside the local medina type that was that I loved.

A Hidden Gem Tour Guide - I had the absolute pleasure of exploring Marrakech's hidden gems with my incredible tour guide, Abdul. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the city's history and culture, but his passion for sharing his hometown was infectious. As a Morroccan who grew up in the Medina, he knew every nook and cranny, leading me to places I would have never found on my own.
Abdul's English was impeccable, and he patiently answered all of my questions, no matter how silly or trivial. He was also incredibly kind and considerate, always greeting locals with a warm smile and engaging in friendly conversations. It was clear that he was respected and admired by everyone he encountered.
As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe and comfortable under his guidance. He even went out of his way to pick me up from my Dar/Riad and walk me back, ensuring my safety and making me feel welcome.
I highly recommend Abdul to anyone visiting Marrakech. His expertise, kindness, and passion for the city made my experience truly unforgettable.

Exceptional Tour with an Exceptional Guide (Abdul) - This tour/our guide Abdul was exceptional. He struck a perfect balance of explaining the history and culture of Marrakech while sharing local insights that were definitely off the beaten path. In addition to taking us to the traditional city highlights he also took us to where he grew up and showcasing what a day in the life was like. We really appreciated this perspective as it felt very authentic and genuine. In addition, he provided some exceptional restaurant recommendations for the few nights we did not have plans/reservations. All in all, an exceptional tour with an exceptional guide.

Thank you for the memories! - Abdul managed to make a magical city even more memorable. He immersed us in the city’s rich history, he took us off the beaten path to explore hidden gems, he connected us with so many beautiful people including his neighborhood friends, an Amazigh family in the Atlas mountains, and so much more. Abdul will greet you as your tour guide and you will say goodbye as a dear friend. Thank you Abdul!

An inside experience of the souk and Marrakech history - Abdul was a great guide: packed a lot of history and insight into a few hours. An amazing tour of the Medina, great opportunities to explore and meet crafts people. Also, took us to the best coffee inside the souk ☕️🇲🇦

FABULOUS - If you are looking for a guide to show you Marrakesh, Abdul is your man. Four hours that delighted the senses. We were a group of 8 ladies and Abdul made us feel so comfortable in his city. History, culture, secret gardens, coffee and souks to name a few. A must if you visit Marrakesh. Thank you Abdul.

Marrakech made magical by Abdul! He helped us untangle the wonderful maze that is the Medina. So thankful! - We had the most wonderful experience with Abdul as our guide! He such a kind, knowledgeable man and we are so grateful for his expertise! He explained the layout and history of the Medina and took us around to all the souks and even helped us exchange money and use the atm. He knows everyone in town and brought us to the best shops for the items we coveted - pottery, poufs, shoes, high quality linen, argan oil/spices, snacks,… and helped us negotiate! He is clearly highly respected throughout. We had such a great experience that we asked him to join us on a second day around town. We truly felt like we gained a new friend!
