About  Me

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 more than 7 years now, a city that never sleeps. I created Marrakechtips.com to help people explore it the way I know it for  good,

I also run a travel agency, offering private, tailor-made tours around the country. With my local knowledge, trusted drivers, and a network of riads, desert camps, and guides, I help travelers design their dream trip, 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 my Touch.

I don’t just sell tours. I don’t go on every trip, but I organize everything with care, the driver, the road, the stay, and even the little moments you’ll remember long after. Many people Traveled with US. Some leave TripAdvisor reviews (45 so far!), others stay in touch all the time. I assist with everything, even airport transfers from Casablanca in a Mercedes Vito, or finding a quiet mountain guesthouse when a hotel is fully booked. I help people ship their products to their homeland with the best rates available.

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, and respect. I’ve also started BereberPeople.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 is not about running a big company or chasing big numbers. I don’t take on hundreds of bookings. I believe in staying small, focused, and personal; that’s how I keep the quality high for everyone.

For me, it’s not about quantity; it’s about making sure every person feels cared for, every tour goes smoothly, and every experience is something to remember.

Hassain has been so helpful during my trip. He recommended and booked a hot air balloon ride for everyone in my party and made sure everything went so smoothly. It was so unique and truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the sunrise and the atlas mountains 900 feet in the sky. 10/10 would recommend!

This Riad is literally a dream. Everything perfect, super cleanliness and super hospitality by the lady who prepared breakfast and especially by Elhoussaine, the guy who took care of the Riad. Super friendly and "pampered" us , gave us useful information about Marrakech, made by Judas, played for us and kept us company. I absolutely recommend this Riad also as a location. Dispatch. Until next time

Elhoussaine from Marrakechtips organized all the tours and activities we did while in Marrakech. His suggestions about what to do and where to go were excellent. He structured our five days perfectly. He has connections with first rate tour guides and drivers. He arranged a very knowledgeable guide for a full day city tour that included the Bahia Palace and the Madrassa Ben Youssef, and explorations deep in the Medina and Souk. We also did a hot air balloon ride, a trip to the Ourika Valley, and a 12 hour trip to Ourzazate and Ait Ben Haddou. Elhoussaine was always available to help with details. The whole experience was super smooth and really hassle free. We highly recommend his services.

Houssine has been a wonderful host. He has provided us with recommendations for places, help with transportation, printing airline tickets, great breakfasts... and great conversations. Absolute dedication to your work, seriousness and hospitality. It's certainly been lucky to meet him.
