Our Story

Marhaba (Welcome)

Meet Jamila and Rashon

We are Jamilla and Rashon—friends, business partners and most importantly lovers of Moroccan culture. We create authentic travel experiences and immersion program to explore Moroccan culture.

We are a women owned business helping travelers to explore authenticity and live passionately. We partner with women owned business in Morocco to provide guided tours to bring you our love of travel, culture and health.

How Did We Become Partners?

We met in May 2017 when Rashon’s husband was providing a tour for some of Jamila’s tour clients in Morocco. We quickly learned that we only lived 3 miles away from one another in Atlanta and have so many interests and values in common and are a natural fit. When Jamila decided to return to Morocco after living in the U.S. for 15 years, we formed a Moroccan-American partnership to bring authentic travel experiences to travelers around the world.

We are more than partners— we’re sisters in travel, friendship and laughter.

OUR COMPANY

We started Exploring Morocco Culture to provide immersive experiences in Morocco after noticing that many travelers only get to see the tourist attractions and often miss all of the unique aspects of food, music, religion, and family traditions.

We encourage our guest to re-think how you travel and to explore the culture. Whether you are with us for one week or one month, you will leave as family.

We are Committed to…

Authenticity

Passion

Health

Creativity

Equity and Justice

We are for travelers who love culture, community and most importantly authentic high quality experiences.

You will get to see all of the sites, take amazing Instagram worthy photos, but you will also learn about the history of the communities that we visit and the everyday lives of Moroccans. A trip with us means that you get to see what living in Morocco feels like, yet you’ll also get to experience some of the glitz and glamour that’s woven into the cultural fabric of Morocco. We do all that we can to tailor our trips so that you experience the rich culture that is Morocco.
