BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY
A Father's Vision, A Family's Journey
The story of Original Travels begins not with us, but with our father – a humble villager from the Atlas Mountains who made an extraordinary choice. In a time when few left their villages, he ventured beyond the mountains, not in pursuit of personal fortune, but to provide education for children under the most challenging circumstances.
His sacrifice became the foundation upon which our family built its future. Through unwavering determination and profound belief in education's power, he created opportunities that transformed not just his children' lives, but generations to follow. Today, we – his sons Abdel, Mohamed, and Hamza – carry forward his legacy as travel designers at Original Travel Co, each bringing unique perspectives shaped by our father's values.
But perhaps his most important lesson was never to forget our origins. He instilled in us the vital importance of returning to our village, of maintaining our connection to our cultural roots and traditions. Each journey home is both a celebration of where we've come from and an opportunity to give back to the community that shaped us.

From Mountain Dreams to Travel Visionary
Roots in the High Atlas
Born in a small Berber village nestled among the Atlas Mountains, my earliest memories are filled with the rhythms of traditional life—the songs of shepherds echoing across valleys, the hands of artisans transforming raw materials into treasures, and elders passing down stories under star-filled skies.
These formative years instilled in me a profound connection to the land and its people, along with the dream of one day sharing the authentic beauty of Morocco with the world.
From University to Mountain Guide School
My path led me from university studies to the prestigious Guides School, where I transformed my passion for Morocco's landscapes into professional expertise. Earning my mountain guide diploma was more than an academic achievement—it was the realization of my childhood dream.
Those years of training deepened my understanding of Morocco's diverse ecosystems and cultural landscapes, while teaching me how to safely navigate its most challenging terrains.
The Birth of Original Travels
What began as informally guiding friends through my beloved Morocco evolved into a vision for a different kind of travel company—one that would transcend typical tourism and create journeys of genuine connection and transformation.
Original Travels was born from this vision: to craft experiences that honor Morocco's cultural heritage, support local communities, and invite travelers to move beyond observation into authentic participation.

Today, Original Travels continues to expand while remaining true to our founding principles. We proudly employ young talent from our villages and different regions of Morocco, creating meaningful opportunities for local guides, drivers, and hospitality professionals.
