Oh my! Tangier was one of our favorite ports all because of A delay. Hewas historically knowledgeable which added to our afternoon enjoyment. We also visited his revvommended vendors who did not hard sell us into purchases which was such a relief that we probably bought more because of it. Lol.. Abdul told us about his family. It made us feel like we had been old friends coming to visit. When we come back to Morocco, we will be sure to r e ach out to Abdel and his wife to rake them to donner.

Tangier completely exceeded my expectations, and a huge part of that was thanks to my guide, Abdul. From the moment we met, it felt less like a tour and more like being shown around by a lifelong friend who somehow knows every hidden corner, story, and secret in the city. Abdul didn’t just guide—he brought Tangier to life. The medina felt like a living maze of history, and somehow he navigated it effortlessly while sharing fascinating stories that made every street and doorway feel meaningful. One minute we were exploring bustling markets full of color and energy, and the next we were standing in quiet, breathtaking spots overlooking the sea that I never would have found on my own. What really stood out was how personalized everything felt. Abdul seemed to read exactly what I was interested in and adjusted the experience on the fly—whether it was history, culture, food, or just soaking in the atmosphere. He also made sure I experienced the best of local cuisine, taking me to places I’d never have discovered otherwise. Honestly, I can’t imagine visiting Tangier without him. If you get the chance to tour with Abdul, take it—he turns a great trip into something unforgettable.
I was in asilah initially just for a day and ended up staying for a whole week! Thanks for the lovely morning walking around town and learning about the history and the people of asilah!! It’s truly a quiet gem in the north, and this wonderful tour really felt like I am a traveller experiencing the culture rather than a visitor! I met some members of the artist collective and saw them live, making carpets, a calligraphy artist and much more!
Had a short tour this morning with Abdel as our guide of the Kasbah along with a couple of churches. Very knowledgeable about the Muslim faith and the architecture. Would highly recommend. Ive come to the realization that local guides really do help in understanding the culture and nuances of a City/Country. Abdel El Maimouni.
Abdel is in the top ten of guides we have had in over 44 years of traveling the world. He is extremely knowledgeable and interesting too.
We had a fantastic day with Abdel touring Tangiers and his home town of Asilah. He is one of the best guides we have had. He contacted us before the tour to confirm details, he arrived on time, he had a wealth of knowledge about Morocco and was very easy to understand. He was very proud of his home town Asilah and his family. We even got to meet one of his daughters and sons and they made us feel very welcome. Touring with Abdel was like being shown around by a friend. Abdel we will always remember your kindness. Thank you for a fantastic day.
We really enjoyed our tour, Abdel is the best tour guide we have ever had, we learnt so much about Tangier and would love to visit again. Thank you very much
We booked a private tour with Abdell while on a cruise stop in Morocco, as opposed to the large group tours offered thru the ship and it is absolutely worth it. Abdell is friendly, kind, knowledgeable and great for families traveling with children of all ages. We walked thru beautiful and historical cities, toured a serene garden, ate an incredible local lunch, walked the markets and rode camels by the beach. It was a great day.
This tour was amazing! Our guide interspersed information of the location with views of his own life, experiences making it so much more than just a tour! In addition he was flexible in the itinerary to allow us to see things of particular interest while introducing us to so many beautiful parts of his Country.
ŪAbdel was informative and fun getting us good deals in shops and listened to our wants and needs thank you ! We really enjoyed being shown around tangier!
Abdel took us tourist spots that group travelers couldn't visit and he gave us detailed guidance. He guided us while walking through the alleys of the Medina, which was very helpful in getting to know Tangier better. Thanks to him, I am leaving Tangier with a good impression of the city.
Abdel was an incredible guide in Tangier! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and showed us authentic spots beyond the typical tourist areas. His attention to detail and passion for sharing the city’s culture made our experience truly special. Thank you, Abdel, for an unforgettable day in Tangier! Highly recommend his tour to anyone wanting a genuine experience.

Abdel was the best! He is so knowledge and clearly loves to show off his towns culture and hidden gems! I definitely recommend if you want to enjoy the town, get some awesome pictures and have a laugh:)
Best guide we met in Morocco. Excellent and very friendly. He took the time to explain in details but also in a simple way for the kids. French and English fluent Very nice
The tour was amazing and the guide was very experienced and kind. We really enjoyed our trip to Asilah and come again soon.
What an awesome incredible day my family had with Abdel. He was very very knowledgeable and welcoming to this family from Texas USA. From the camel rides to the tour of Asilah it was the perfect day. I would highly recommend Abdel
Very beautiful tour offered by Abdel who took us around the city while telling us its history. He also recommended a superb place to eat, we really enjoyed ourselves. Very good time spent in his company, thanks for everything! :)
Very good guide! And enjoy the historical visit!
We had a fun morning in Assilah with Abdelkader; he explained anecdotes about the place, and we took a peaceful walk while he shared the history of the medina. It was a pleasure to share the morning with him and the group. Thank you very much.
Arrival at the port of Tangier where our driver was waiting for us. Route to ASILAH with a stop at Cape Spartel and the “caves of Hercules” Abdel picked us up the next day at the Riad. Visit of his very interesting city. Our group was made up of different nationalities, even though the common language was Spanish, it gave explanations in French too. He also organized the visits of Chaouen and Tétouan with motivated, involved and serious guides. Thank you for making us discover and love your country with each trip a little more.
Excellent choice, explanations and perfect advice. We did the guided tour of Asilah with this guide and before hiring him he already helped us to find an appropriate place to eat. Then it was a pleasure to have your clarifications for an hour.
We made a couple visit by ashila, the visit was private and the guide very attentive at all times with us, recommended a spectacular restaurant and then made the visit to all corners of ashila, highly recommended the guide.
The tour with Mr. Abdel El Maimouni was very exciting and entertaining. We are immersed in the life of the locals. We visited the markets far from the tourism mile and got an insight into the authentic life of Asilah. We were allowed to hear stories about the traditional customs of the Arabs and Berbers of this region. After the market, the way to the medina led us, where everything went a little more relaxed. We visited a traditional bakery and had enough time to see the artfully designed walls of the medina. I personally found the arts and crafts exhibition in the Haus der Kooperativeen very exciting, as there were open workshops on display there.
My friend and I enjoyed Abdel's guide. He was always very nice and took us to the best places in Asilah. Very grateful to meet him on the way.
Great tour of Asilah with Abdel, professional guide. 1 hour well spent which ended at the foot of his house and the beach. The guided tour is a real plus for discovering this charming little town. He also offers authentic cooking classes using produce from the garden.
Thank you Abdel for this very interesting and very informative visit. The other times I had visited without a guide, a mistake. I recommend 100%
The visit was very beautiful and very informative with Abdel a very cultured guide and many explanations about the city and its inhabitants. I really recommend it.
Abdel showed us and guided us through the Medina of Asilah and told us much of its history. Abdel is a very nice person. It is a beautiful town.
Abdel has been a fabulous guide. We loved Asilah's visit with him, he explained to us all the history of the town and made us feel very comfortable and comfortable. I recommend visiting the town and getting to know it with Abdel.
Punctual guide who knows how to help us discover the medina of Assilah with his knowledge. Speaking French very well, he was able to show us details and stories of the medina. We warmly recommend it.
We have a nice meeting with Abdel in his guest house (Beach House). and recommended us a guided tour of his charming little town Assilah.City of art and culture. We'll come back to his place.
