My name is Elhoussaine Ousbouh, or just Houssine to most people who know me. I was born and raised in the south of Morocco, and over the years, I’ve become many things: a musician, a guide, a driver, a friend to travelers, and someone always in search of human connection. But above all, I’m someone who believes that every meeting, even the briefest, carries a spark of something unforgettable.
Music has always been part of me. I don’t just play, I feel the rhythm and the words, the joy of the blues and gnawa ma3lm players, and the quiet soul of the mountains in every note. I often play with my band tamawayt or guest houses sometimes under the stars, sometimes for friends who were strangers just hours before. I don’t know, every day is different.
The World I Help You Discover
I have lived in Marrakech for over 7 years, a city that never sleeps. I created Marrakechtips.com to help people explore it the way I know it best.
I also run a travel agency, offering private, tailor-made tours across Morocco. With my local knowledge, trusted drivers, and a network of riads, desert camps, and guides, I help travelers design their dream trips whether it’s a luxurious 14-day cultural tour or a 2-day adventure to the dunes with music around a fire at night.
More Than a Business, This Is My Touch
I don’t just sell tours. I organize every detail with care the driver, the road, the stay, and even the little moments you’ll remember long after. Many travelers have trusted us: some leave TripAdvisor reviews (45 so far!), while others stay in touch regularly. I assist with everything, from airport transfers in a Mercedes Vito from Casablanca to finding a quiet mountain guesthouse when hotels are full. I even help ship Moroccan products to your homeland at the best rates.
Local, Personal, Honest
I work independently, not through a big company. That’s why every experience I offer is shaped by who I am and what I believe in: flexibility, respect, and authenticity. I also started BerberExplore.com to share vintage Moroccan crafts with people in Europe, the USA, and Canada handmade objects that carry stories, not just prices.
A Life of Moments
My life isn’t about running a big company or chasing huge numbers. I don’t take on hundreds of bookings. I stay small, focused, and personal; that’s how I ensure quality for everyone.
For me, it’s not about quantity it’s about making every person feel cared for, ensuring every tour runs smoothly, and creating experiences that stay in your memory long after the trip ends.
