Around Morocco Travel is a family agency: Ali, Hmad and Ibrahim Karraoui are brothers who know Morocco from the inside and have spent more than a decade showing it to travellers from all over the world, in their own language.
Founder
Ali Karraoui
Born in Merzouga, 1995In tourism since 2013Founder and driverEnglish · Spanish · Italian
Ali Karraoui was born in 1995 in the heart of the Merzouga desert, at the foot of the Erg Chebbi dunes. He grew up among caravans, nomad tents and the slow rhythm of the Sahara, and in 2013 he started working in tourism.
Since then he has travelled the country from north to south: the Todra Gorge, the High Atlas, the kasbahs of the south and the imperial cities. That experience goes into every route we design.
He is the founder of the agency and a driver, and looks after travellers in English, Spanish and Italian.
Driver and organiser
Hmad Karraoui
Born in Merzouga, 1997In tourism since 2014Driver and organiserSpanish · Portuguese
Hmad Karraoui was also born in the Merzouga desert, in 1997, and has worked in tourism since 2014. He makes sure every trip is tailored to the people taking it, from the first message to the last day.
He is a driver and trip organiser, and accompanies our Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking travellers. You will often find Hmad with his travellers in the desert: serving tea in the tent, explaining nomadic life or showing how to tie a Berber turban.
Driver
Ibrahim Karraoui
Born in 2001DriverFrench · English · Italian
Ibrahim is the youngest brother in the family. He was born in 2001 and works as a driver: he takes you calmly and safely along the mountain roads of the Atlas, the desert tracks and the coast.
He speaks French, English and Italian, so the drive also becomes a conversation about the country, its people and its customs.
