Destination Morocco Podcast
Destinations Morocco is a direct ground operator based in Houston, Texas, with an office in Marrakech — offering custom private tours, small-group departures, and white-label itineraries for travel advisors and agencies.
On our podcast, host Azdean Elmoustaquim — born and raised in Marrakech — takes you on an exploration of his country's distinct culture, vibrant history, and stunning attractions, alongside co-host and producer Ted.
Azdean prepares you for the real Morocco: where to go, what to expect, real costs and prices, safety (including specifically for female travelers), the kinds of scams to watch for in the bazaars, useful local phrases, and so much more.
New: a dedicated series built for travel advisors and agencies, digging into commission structures, client objections, seasonality, and everything else you need to sell Morocco with confidence.
New episodes every 1st and 15th. Whether you're planning your own trip or building one for a client, our podcast unpacks the mystery and opens up discovery of an amazing land. We invite you along for the journey.
