In this episode we sit down with Azdean Elmoustaquim, of Destinations Morocco, to explore what makes Morocco one of the most immersive and misunderstood travel destinations in the world.

Born and raised in Marrakech, Azdean shares how reconnecting his son with their roots sparked the creation of Destinations Morocco — a company built around custom itineraries, cultural connection, and authentic local experiences. From desert adventures and mountain villages to food, history, and hospitality, Azdean breaks down what travelers often get wrong about Morocco — and what they discover when they arrive with an open mind.

We also dive into the role storytelling plays through the Destinations Morocco Podcast, helping travelers cut through misinformation and experience the country with clarity, respect, and curiosity.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to travel through Morocco — this episode is your invitation.
