Registered on March 06, 2018

I am a graduate of Mohammed v University of Rabat with a BA in English Studies. I am currently working for Microsoft as a customer service representative, on top of that I am working with a local NGO called Rabat sale Memoir, my role in this NGO is to educate schoolchildren about the importance of their tangible and intangible heritage. Besides that, I am working with American students studying Arabic as a translator and interpreter (I help them with interviews on the street or with local organizations and authorities). I also had the opportunity to work on an Italian TV show called Peckino Express, which was filmed in Morocco (my role was to accompany the film crew, talk to local authorities and make sure everything is okay). This experience allowed me to travel a lot in Morocco and enrich my knowledge about different parts of Morocco.

Tour description

Morocco has so much to offer.  The Moroccan experience is like no other.  If you are fortunate enough to visit Morocco and get to engage with the people, you’re soul will automatically become richer, wiser and fulfilled.
You will have the opportunity to visit the old part of the capital of Morocco by night and discover it from a local perspective. I will make sure you have a historical and cultural immersion. we can also cross the river to the neighboring city of sale and take a walk along its marina. I will take you to the best local restaurant and the best places where locals usually go. the tour can be customized based on your needs and how much time you have and usually, it's very flexible since I always make sure to keep the number of attendees less than five people.
The tour will start from bank al maghrib on Mohammed V avenue. we will head to the Hassan Tower (We will be able to have a nice view of the neighboring city of sale, the marina and the new opera house)after that we will walk along the marina of Rabat in the direction of the kasbah of loudaya .
Our next stop will be the Medina and its traditional shops which sell local products. We will also get the chance to see where the locals usually do their shopping and we can take some time to stop in a local coffee shop where the locals usually hangout.
This is an opportunity to ask as many questions as you like about the daily life of locals and the Moroccan traditions and culture .

The Tour is only offered in English.

Youssef was an excellent tour guide. Showed us the major parts of the city and walked us through the Medina. Had lots of knowledge about the history of Rabat and was very passionate about the city. After the tour he took us to a restaurant that he recommended and we had a great time. It really feels like Youssef is a long time friend. Couldn't recommend this tour more.

Youssef spent the evening with three of us telling everything about Rabat. He was very informative and took us our pictures. We ended up having dinner all together. He even accompanied me so I knew how to reach my hotel. 10/10

I took a evening walking tour with Youssef, and I had a great time. He showed us all the important areas and placed in Rabat. The walk through the Medina was really nice and very informative. In the end Youssef and the whole group went to a Syrian Restaurant recommended by Youssef and the food was great. Highly recommend.
