Zagora, Morocco · Since 1987

A lifetime exploring Morocco, guided by local knowledge

For Mohamed Kimou, discovering Morocco is not something he started recently. He has been working in the field since 1987.

Born in Zagora, in the heart of the Draa Valley, Mohamed is a native of southeastern Morocco and a certified local guide accredited by Morocco's Ministry of Tourism, with a particular specialization in natural spaces and landscapes.

Over the years, he has developed an intimate knowledge of Morocco's diverse environments—from the Sahara and its dunes to oases, mountains, valleys, remote villages and the natural landscapes of the country's south.

The best way to discover Morocco is to experience it through the people who know it.

Authentic Places

Beyond the usual tourist routes

Mohamed organizes excursions, journeys and tailor-made experiences throughout Morocco, with a particular focus on authentic places and natural environments.

In southeastern Morocco, his home region, he specializes in experiences around Zagora, the Draa Valley, M'Hamid and Erg Chegaga, but his knowledge and experience extend far beyond the Sahara.

Whether you want to explore desert landscapes, discover hidden valleys, walk through an oasis, visit traditional villages, experience local culture or combine several regions of Morocco in one journey, Mohamed can help build an itinerary around your interests.

Tailor-Made

A journey designed around you

There is no single way to discover Morocco. You may be travelling alone, as a couple, with your family or with friends. You may have one day or several weeks. You may want adventure, nature, culture, landscapes—or simply time away from the usual tourist routes.

Mohamed takes the time to understand what you are looking for and adapts the journey accordingly.

From a short excursion to a multi-day journey, the goal is not simply to take you from one place to another, but to help you experience the places, landscapes and people along the way.

Local Roots

Local roots. Decades of experience.

Being from Zagora gives Mohamed something that cannot simply be learned from a guidebook: a personal connection to the region and its people.

His experience since 1987 has allowed him to build relationships with local communities and trusted people who contribute to the journeys he organizes.

Depending on the experience, local people may be involved in transportation, desert logistics, traditional meals, camel excursions and other aspects of the journey.

This creates an experience that is locally connected, personal and human.

AZUL TREK

Local knowledge.
Authentic places.
Nature and culture.
Personalized journeys.
Real human connections.
