Destination Morocco Podcast
Destination Morocco Travel Agency offers customized tours to Morocco, including private tours and small group tours, complete with private guides and drivers.
Our goal is for you to experience Morocco like a native, while providing personal service and customized itineraries at an affordable price.
On our podcast, join Destination Morocco's Azdean Elmoustaquim as he takes you on an exploration of his country's distinct culture, vibrant history and stunning attractions. Azdean prepares you for the real Morocco, with suggestions of places to see, exciting activities and attractions, what to expect and what to include on your itinerary.
We meet locals and guides, fellow travellers, learn about costs and prices, safety, especially for female travellers, the kinds of scams to look out for in the bazaars, useful phrases in local languages, and so much more.
Our podcast unpacks the mystery, opening up discovery of an amazing land. We invite you along for the journey.
