About me

My name is Khalid Sadek and I am the owner of this agency in Morocco. I was born and raised in Morocco in a small village in the Atlas. Like many inhabitants of Morocco I belong to a berber tribe.

Naturally I am fluent in Berber, Arabic and French, as they are the three national languages spoken or, at least, understood everywhere in Morocco.

I also speak English and German as foreign languages. I learned the German language at the Goethe-Institute in Marrakech.

Once I finished my studies in economics at the University of Marrakech, I realized that the abstract world of economics cannot make me happy in the long run. A vocation which combines the beauty of my country and offers contact to many diverse people from all over the world would bring me much more delight. Thus, I additionally completed an education course as a tour and mountain guide.

As a licensed tour, hiking and mountain guide I accompanied a great deal of tourists from different countries through various regions of Morocco over the last 12 years. Mountain tours and ascents of the peaks in the Atlas, treks through the Sahara, the Valley of Roses and along the Atlantic coast, as well as excursions to the royal cities of Morocco, are now a constant part of my daily life. Moreover, I have accumulated long-term experience as a tour guide for large tour operators.

My friends and I are known to organize excellent trips through our homeland. We do it with our heart and soul.

We trek and travel in small groups of 2 to 12 people. This size of a group is the best and most suitable way to get to know Morocco and its people.

During our trips I noticed that many people who traveled to Morocco for the first time had gotten a completely different picture of the country through everything they saw and experienced here by the end of their journey. Their enthusiasm heightened my desire to impart even more in-depth details of my homeland.

For this reason I have decided to offer individual trips and tours for small groups on my own. The objective is to offer a balanced and cost-effective rate for our clients, while fulfilling their needs and wishes as we show our country from its most beautiful and most honest side.

Our accompanying team consists of berbers, the indigenous people of Morocco. Cooks and mule and camel drivers are carefully selected, so that especially organic products are used on our trekking tours, and the animals are treated well and pleasantly. Through these people, their cordiality, their professional competence, and their knowledge of the country, our tours get an exceptional quality which you will not find easily elsewhere.

Morocco and me

I made my first trip to Africa as child. Since then I travelled a lot all over the world and discovered many countries and places. Morocco was inspiring from the first view: High snow-covered mountains, green forests, lakes, agriculture, the coast and the Sahara-desert, there are not many countries that provide such a diversity in comparative small distances. With the centuries-old culture, the historic towns (medinas) with their unique markets (souks) and friendly people, Morocco quickly rose to a travel-favourite for me.

My background

I studied biology and specialized in ecology. Besides my engagement for Marokkoentdecken I work as scientist in diverse projects for ecological landscape management and nature conservation. During my studies, I realized that only research and restrictions do not help to protect the nature and landscapes. Thus I started to share my enthusiasm about the nature with other people on tours, travels and excursions. After my studies I worked in customer service and sales for three years for an equipment retailer in outdoor, tourism and mountaineering sector.  During study I started to organize and plan first tours and trips for small groups. Visiting nature and outdoor activities for me are the best way of recreation. Hiking and trekking are my favourite hobbies, but also you can find me paddling, climbing or surfing, or just relaxing at any beautiful place, café or beach. Besides exploring nature, I’m curious about exploring cities.

I am fluent in English and German, additionally I speak French, Spanish and Italian.

With Marokkoentdecken I found a small travel agency which is owned by locals and directly supports local people. This is the way how I think travels should be. Additionally it is ecological and sustainably orientated.
