Mouna Daoud is an ethnically Berber from the Anti-Atlas region of Morocco. I am proud to be one of the only 3% female professional tour guides in Morocco. Growing up in a country that has opened up to other cultures inspired me to enter the world of tourism. So after university I decided to follow my passion for travelling and meeting people from different cultures as well as to share with them my knowledge and interests. Those interests include art, history, and photography. Additionally, I enjoy to teach travelers my mother tongue or "berber" as well as "Arabic". But most importantly I want to make sure that they are able to experience the real essence of Morocco from a woman’s perspective.
Abdoul el Mcadem was born in the Toudra Valley of western Morocco. Early in life he learned he wanted to promote Moroccan culture and as a student, got involved in tourism with a summer job. In 2012 he attended a year-long Mountain Guide Training program. He has been professionally involved in tourism ever since. However, since he loves his work he sees travel and tourism not so much as a profession but rather more a lifestyle or even an ongoing vacation. The opportunity to learn about different cultures and perspectives from foreign visitors and the chance to share his passion for Morocco keep it fresh, richly rewarding, and fun.
