My wife and I booked a Spiritual Heritage tour with Abdul as a private guide, because for my wife it was the first time in the Maghreb. Marrakech has such a rich history that we didn't want to miss out on the key milestones without a knowledgeable guide. We had no interest in shopping, and much rather took an interest in the architecture, the craft behind it and the evolution of it. Abdul picked us up at our Riad perfectly on time and guided us from there to the Koutoubia, Mellah with synagogue, Madrasa, Royal Palace, and through the souks, never getting tired of our endless questions about the historical contexts, the why's and the philosophical teachings. He has been doing this for many years, is highly educated, very nice and relatable and designed the walking tour completely to our liking. He did not gear us to any stalls where sometimes people pressure you to buy something, which was very important to us, given past (undesirable) experience. Having grown up in the Medina, he had so many stories to tell, that I wished I could have recorded him. We would book him any day again when we return to Marrakech. - Thank you Abdul for making the day and the trip memorable - P.S. It seemed that the best way to reach out to him is via WhatsApp (English, French and Arabic that we know of).
