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.

Tour description

This shopping experience in Marrakech goes far beyond a walk in a shopping center or time spent exploring a market. Shopping in Marrakech is an activity that runs alongside authentic everyday life, while also getting flavors of local culture and traditions. Join me on this 3-hour tour to explore a hidden district of Marrakech made up of artisans, artists, vendors, and artisans. Marrakech, for centuries, has been considered a traditional shopping center, where you will not be short of interesting local encounters. On this tour, you will immerse yourself in fascinating sights, smells, and lights. Discover open markets dedicated to the souvenir shop and elegant antique and carpet galleries, each with its own story. The tour also includes back streets, populated by hidden workshops and shops known only to locals. The tour accommodates all types of shopping tastes and can be customized to suit individual preferences and budgets. The experience ends where it begins, at Jamaa Elfna Square, an open-air theater where you can continue to stroll and enjoy a delicious meal, coffee, or even freshly squeezed orange juice from one of the quaint lined juice stands.

Jalil knows everything about shopping in Marrakech. He showed us places to buy authentic Marrocan things with an excellent quality and fair price, that we won't find on our own. He is very kind and knowledgeable, he speaks English very well and he answered all our questions. I highly recommend the tour with Jalil if you want to see and buy things in Marrakech. You'll get better things and you'll save your money.

Jalil was great! I was running a few minutes late and he was happy to accommodate my schedule. I was with my two young daughters and he was fabulous with them. I highly recommend you book with Jalil!
