About Us
A Journey of Connection: Where Cultures Unite
Sometimes the most meaningful ventures begin with a step outside our comfort zone. Our story started when one of our founders reluctantly agreed to a Moroccan adventure, outvoted by friends. That initial reluctance transformed into fascination, then passion, and finally into a vision for sharing Morocco's magic with others in a deeper, more meaningful way.
Our Mission
We believe that transformative travel happens when travelers feel fully supported and educated throughout their journey. By combining our strengths - Christine's Western perspective and Salem's deep Touareg roots - we create seamless experiences that bridge cultures and open minds. Though we're as different as night and day, our partnership demonstrates the beauty of cultural collaboration.
A Unique Approach to Travel
From the moment you book until your return home, we provide comprehensive support that sets our journeys apart. We don't just plan trips; we educate, guide, and nurture understanding between cultures. Our goal is to create such a seamless experience that you can fully immerse yourself in the transformative power of discovering a new culture.
Journeys as Unique as Our Travelers
We understand that every traveler's dream of Morocco is different. That's why we offer experiences ranging from intimate small group tours to solo traveler packages, and from specialized retreats to fully customized adventures. Whether you're seeking a short exploration or an airport-to-airport comprehensive tour, Salem's deep local connections can make almost any Moroccan dream a reality.
For Retreat Leaders
We offer specialized packages for retreat instructors looking to bring their practice to the magical backdrop of Morocco. Our journey-style retreats to the desert showcase how traditional practices take on new meaning in ancient landscapes. We offer "stay in one place" retreats for those who want to sink deeper into a single location's rhythms and build lasting connections with local communities. Our hybrid options combine both experiences - allowing groups to establish a home base while still venturing out to experience Morocco's diverse landscapes and traditions.
Your Journey Begins at Home
Our comprehensive preparation ensures you're ready for your Moroccan adventure. We answer questions, provide cultural insights, and build your confidence so you can embrace every moment of your experience.
Authentic Morocco Awaits
In Morocco, Salem and his team become your gateway to genuine cultural experiences. Their deep local knowledge and passionate commitment to sharing their heritage helps you discover the true spirit of Morocco - from ancient medinas to the sweeping dunes of the Sahara.
Together, we create more than just tours and retreats - we craft transformative experiences that prove how different cultures can work together beautifully. Our partnership demonstrates that the most unexpected collaborations often create the most extraordinary journeys.

Salem was awesome. He took our trip from special to lifetime making memories. He was
instrumental in setting our itinerary and flexible in adapting to changes along the way. I
cannot recommend him enough.

My husband and I took an anniversary trip to Legzira and Agadir in July. Christine helped us with every step of planning a stress free and seamless experience. We enjoyed the planned excursions - particularly the painted rocks and our visit to Sidi Ifni.
