Hello! My name is Jalil, I come from a multicultural background and speak Arabic, Berber, French and English. I love my job as licensed English speaking guide offering tours all over my country but mainly in my hometown Marrakech where I was born, studied and spent all my life. I really enjoy helping people get the best out of their trips in Marrakech, which I believe to be one of the best cities in the world. Such a wonderful city has always so much to explore. I have more than 13 years of passionate experience as a guide, leading all kinds of local experiences and walking tours together with side day- excursions. I work hard to get my guests immersed in my Moroccan rich culture giving them full insight into the history of the city, traditions of the Moroccan people and making them taste delicious food and feel the Moroccan hospitality. I also love meeting new people and different cultures. I can take you wherever you want or I can recommend you some schedules to discover less frequented trails and invisible hidden sides of this imperial city. I am an excited and energetic tour guide with a greedy appetite for everything to do with the buzzing medina (historical part). I meticulously organize cultural, historical, shopping and photography tours. Being interested in photography, we can walk through the medina and take some incredible photos.

Very nice and informative tour! Lots of useful practical tips for your stay in Marrakesh. Visit of the Bahia palace (70 dirham entry; a big plus is that you don’t need to wait). Inside crowded but well worth it. You should do it, particularly on your first days, as it will benefit your stay!

The tour with Jalil was superb! He shared very interesting information about Islam and how it shapes the culture and architecture of the city. He provided information about Morocco in general, not just the places we visited. He took us to hidden gems, sharing local tips about Hammam (Moroccan baths) and many other interesting things. Highly recommended and worthwhile!
