What To Expect
Mellah
We will meet in the Mellah of Marrakesh, where we begin our group tour in one of the most historic and authentic parts of the city. Starting here gives you a unique perspective, as this former Jewish quarter tells an important story of Marrakesh’s cultural diversity and coexistence. As we walk together, you’ll experience a more local and less crowded side of the Medina, discovering hidden streets, traditional markets, and learning about the daily life and history that shaped this fascinating neighborhood.
Bahia Palace
After exploring the Mellah, we’ll continue our group tour to the Bahia Palace, one of the most stunning examples of Moroccan architecture and design. Built in the late 19th century, the palace was designed to be the most beautiful of its time, and as we walk through its ornate courtyards, intricate mosaic tiles, and carved cedar ceilings, you’ll get a real sense of the elegance and grandeur of Moroccan royal life. Visiting Bahia Palace is not just about seeing a historic building it’s about experiencing the artistry, history, and peaceful gardens that make this palace a true jewel of Marrakesh.

5.00The experience with Lovely Morocco Tours for my girlfriend and I was phenomenal from start to finish. We decided to go with a local tour guide company that had different packages to fit your needs. We were staying there for 8 days. From the beginning Saleh was very communicative and prompt and very helpful. He assured us that they would take care of us and make us feel comfortable. Youssef was our guide and driver and took us to as many places as possible considering we only had 8 days. We started our Journey in Casablanca then made our way to Chefchaouen then to Fes followed by Merzouga (Sahara desert) then to Dades and finally Marrakech. We made plenty of stops in between to experience all the different cities and culture. At Marrakech, Saleh gave us an amazing tour of the city. He was very informative and kind. Saleh, Youssef and their entire team was amazing. If there is any tour guide company that you should book with it is definitely Lovely Morocco Tours! They go above and beyond
Trip to Marrakesh

5.00Our family trip to Morocco was an unforgettable experience, organized by Saleh and with the help of his brother Youssef. The first day we stayed at the Riad Irhalen, in the middle of the Marrakech medina. A very cozy place, clean and with great attention from your manager, which made the arrival very pleasant. The second day we started with a balloon flight. We enjoyed it very much, the landing was perfect and the experience, magical. The pilot, also called Youssef (like Saleh’s brother), picked us up at the French Café and took us to the base, where a spectacular breakfast awaited. Besides being a great pilot, he's a wonderful person. Later we took a guided tour of Marrakech with Mubarak, a very trained guide, from whom we learned much about Berber history and culture. We found that the Berbers are a very friendly people and it was a good idea to have Berber guides throughout the trip. The next day we were picked up by Mbarek, very attentive and friendly. With him we stayed much of the way until we met Youssef, Saleh's brother, who took us to the Ksar Sultan, a comfortable hotel, with pool and spacious rooms. The services and breakfast were great. From there we continue on our way to the Sahara, through the dunes of Erg Chebbi. To reach the jaima we took a dromedary ride. The experience was very special and everything was very well organized. We spent the night at Jannat Luxury Camp, with comfortable jaimas and excellent dinner. The next morning we came back by camel, accompanied by Husein, a very friendly guide who made photos and videos. He was the only one who did not speak Spanish, because the rest of the guides did speak it perfectly. Then we met Youssef again, who accompanied us on our way back to Marrakech. I have to say that I was very impressed, not only as a guide, but as a person. He is someone with admirable principles and values, from which you learn. In short, it was an extraordinary trip, full of unique moments, very well organized and with wonderful people who made our experience in Morocco even more special.

5.00My family and I did a private tour of Morocco, visiting Marrakech, Merzouga, Fez, Chefchaouen, and Casablanca — and it was absolutely incredible. Saleh was an amazing guide who made everything so easy for us. Every detail of the trip was perfectly planned, and we never had to worry about a thing. The tour was organized so well, and Saleh and his team made us feel comfortable, safe, and completely at home. I truly fell in love with this country — its culture, landscapes, and especially its warm and welcoming people. If you’re thinking of visiting Morocco, I can’t recommend this experience enough. Book with Saleh — you won’t regret it!

5.00Memorable journey with memorable tour guide. If you want to discover Marroco in a traditional way, don't hesitate to work with Saleh. After our trip we can say that we have a friend now in Marroco, not just a tour guide. Everything was great, we've had a pleasant stay in Marroco and we've visit a lot of beautiful places.

5.00I am a female solo traveler and was hesitant about coming to a country unknown to me, however, I am so glad I did it. The people are great! My guide, Saleh, was absolutely amazing. He was very knowledgeable and took his time explaining everything to me. He was patient when I went shopping at the market and was even nice enough to take photos of me throughout the tour. I highly recommend his services. Shukran Saleh!
