The Experience

Before You Go

Confirm time zones and schedules

Coordinate call times with your guide and know local prayer times; many museums and markets shift hours seasonally.

Stable internet and quiet space

Use a wired connection or reliable Wi‑Fi and be in a quiet spot so the guide can share maps and links effectively.

Share preferences and limits ahead

Send your budget range, mobility needs, and any must-see items before the session so recommendations are tailored.

Ask for receipts and addresses

Request exact riad addresses, vetted taxi advice, and vendor contacts to reduce day-of confusion and avoid tourist traps.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Le Jardin Secret (quiet restored riad garden near the medina core)
  • The Mellah’s backstreets for secondhand antique stalls and local spice shops

Wildlife

  • feral cats that inhabit riads and alleys
  • house sparrows and lizards sunning on courtyard walls

Conservation Note

The medina faces pressure from tourism and water scarcity; support locally run riads, reduce plastic use, and follow guidance to protect historic fabric and community life.

Marrakech was founded in the 11th century and became a capital under the Almoravid dynasty; its medina is a centuries-old urban core shaped by Berber, Arab and Andalusian influences.

How long is a typical consultation?

Sessions are flexible; many users take a focused 60–90 minute call for itinerary building, with follow-up advice available within the service window.

Can the concierge book tickets or transport for me?

This service provides advice and vetted recommendations; direct bookings may be suggested but are typically handled by you or a third-party booking service.

Is the advice tailored to different budgets?

Yes — the concierge adapts suggestions for low-, mid-, and high-budget travelers, recommending riads, restaurants, and experiences appropriate to your range.

Do I need to know French or Arabic?

No — the guide will explain local language basics and etiquette; many locals speak French and some English, but knowing simple greetings helps.
