The Destination Morocco Podcast

In early 2022, we launched our Destination Morocco Podcast, to inspire travellers curious about where to go, what to do, cultural history, practical advice, and stories from those who have been there themselves: our clients.

Since then, thousands of listeners have enjoyed learning about Morocco and have started building their own bucket list of things to do and activities to experience.

In the Summer of 2023, Azdean (who grew up in Morocco but has spent nearly 30 years living in the United States) returned to his native land for the first time post-covid, armed with recording equipment and a team of producers, to capture real, authentic on-location footage.

These new episodes give you even more sample and flavor of the real Morocco, featuring Moroccans in their homes, patios and dining rooms, sharing the stories of the lives, their business, their region and their families. Close your eyes and imagine the sights, the scents, the soft breeze, the birds in the olive grove, a gentle creek trickling through the dry hills...

It's an amazing, immersive audio experience that takes you a step closer to being in Morocco yourself.

Our podcast prepares you for the real Morocco, showing you highlights, attractions, activities and hidden gems, which you can then add to your custom-built itinerary.

The goal is to help you enjoy Morocco like a native. Our podcast unpacks the mystery, opening up discovery of an amazing land.

We invite you along for the journey.

Co-Founder

Welcome to Destination Morocco. My name is Azdean Elmoustaquim, I was born and raised in the Imperial city of Marrakech, Morocco. My family hails from the small village of Telouet, on the outskirts of Ouarzazate.

After finishing school, I moved to the United States in 1995, settling in Houston. After a few years, my wife, Khadija Elomari, and I took our love for Morocco and our passion for sharing our homeland with others and created the Destination Morocco tour company. Our goal is to help with the planning of customized travel itineraries to Morocco - whether via private tour, an escorted group tour, or the more individualized FIT (Fully/Flexible Independent Travel) approach.

All tour packages are handcrafted and personalized and guarantee you or your clients will experience Morocco like a native, fall in love with our country, and likely visit time and time again.

Destination Morocco Podcast was the next step in our journey and was born from a desire to help make planning a trip to Morocco easier and more fun for future visitors. We often found that people were enticed by the idea of Morocco, but weren't very aware of what was available there, what they could do and how to prepare.

On each episode, join me as we explore my country's distinct culture, vibrant history, and stunning attractions. Through speaking with locals and guides, you will learn how we travel from place to place, what to expect at each location, and how to make the most of each day. We discuss everything from high-end travel to budget-travel, how to stay… Read More
