About Me

Morocco, a country of rich history, diverse landscapes, and vibrant culture, is a hidden gem in North Africa. From the bustling markets of Marrakech to the serene dunes of the Sahara Desert, Morocco offers a unique blend of ancient traditions and natural beauty. Whether you’re drawn to the charm of the Blue City, the mystery of ancient palaces, or the adventure of a desert trek, Morocco promises an unforgettable experience for every traveler.

Best Places to Visit in Morocco

  • Marrakech: Known for its vibrant souks, historic palaces, and exotic gardens, Marrakech is a city that captures the essence of Morocco. Visit the iconic Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, explore the labyrinthine streets of the Medina, and admire the stunning architecture of the Bahia Palace and the Koutoubia Mosque.
  • Fes: One of Morocco’s oldest cities, Fes is home to one of the world’s most well-preserved medieval cities. Stroll through the Fes el-Bali Medina, visit the historical Al-Qarawiyyin University, and explore the iconic tanneries where leather is dyed using ancient techniques.
  • Chefchaouen: Famous for its striking blue-painted buildings, Chefchaouen is a tranquil mountain town in the Rif Mountains. Wander through the narrow streets of the Medina, visit the Kasbah museum, and enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding mountains.
  • Sahara Desert: A visit to Morocco wouldn’t be complete without experiencing the Sahara Desert. Take a camel ride through the golden dunes, spend a night in a traditional Berber camp, and witness one of the most beautiful sunsets you’ll ever see.
  • Essaouira: A charming coastal city with a laid-back vibe, Essaouira offers a blend of history, art, and stunning beaches. Walk through the Medina, explore the Portuguese-style fortress, and relax at the beach where windsurfing and kite surfing are popular activities.

Best Time to Visit Morocco

The best time to visit Morocco is during the spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) when the weather is mild and pleasant, making it ideal for exploring cities like Marrakech and Fes. Winter (December to February) is also a great time for visiting the Sahara Desert since temperatures are cooler, making it more comfortable for camel treks. Summer (June to August) can be very hot, especially in the desert and cities like Marrakech, so it's best to avoid these months if you're looking to explore the outdoors.

Things to Do in Morocco

  • Explore ancient cities – Visit historical cities like Marrakech, Fes, and Rabat to see their iconic palaces, mosques, and medinas.
  • Take a camel ride in the Sahara Desert – Experience the magic of the Sahara Desert with a camel ride across the golden dunes and an overnight stay in a Berber camp.
  • Shop in souks – Wander through the bustling markets of Marrakech or Fes to find spices, textiles, pottery, and leather goods.
  • Visit the Atlas Mountains – Hike or trek through the Atlas Mountains, explore Berber villages, and enjoy breathtaking mountain views.
  • Relax in coastal cities – Unwind in Essaouira, a beautiful seaside town, where you can enjoy fresh seafood and the laid-back atmosphere.

Ireland The Emerald Isle A Traveler's Paradise
Reviewed By Jane S. - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
I had a great experience working with Ahmer Khan as our travel agent. He was very helpful in organizing our family tourist visit to Ireland. He was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had and made sure that our trip went smoothly. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a travel agent.
Ahmer Khan responded
"Thank you Jane, I'm glad to hear that your family had a great time in Ireland. It's always my goal to make sure all of our clients have the best possible experience when they travel with us and it sounds like we did just that! I'll be in touch soon about booking another trip for you or someone else on your team."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best adventure and most exciting trip Ive been on!
Reviewed By Jacob G - Austin, TX | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
Of all the vacations and adventures I've been on, none compared to this one. And this was all thanks to Ahmer and his compassion and commitment to making my trip so unique. I was very impressed by the locations that he chose. We made drives through places I have only read about. From the ocean views at the places we stayed nestled in remote rain forests to the deep jungle we explored, everything was not only exciting, but of envy to my friends and family. Every picture we took was something I had barely experienced prior. For me the thing that stood out was the feeling we had backpacking into the Ova Peninsula. I had never seen so much wildlife outside of a documentary. I am looking forward to our next engagement with Ahmer. I can not wait to see what he has planned for us in the future.
Ahmer Khan responded
"Hi Jacob, Thank you for your wonderful feedback. The Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica is certainly a favorite and feels almost like another world. The Corcovado National Park is the gem of the peninsula and we could have easily spent another week there hiking through the lush vegetation and experiencing the biodiversity of this jungle. Hope you get more opportunities to travel to amazing places. Cheers, The Hourglass Team"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

9 days in Paris and Nice
Reviewed By TalhaK - San Jose, CA | Traveled to France ~ Europe
Ahmer helped plan and book my first family vacation in France. I was travelling to France on a business trip and decided to take a vacation afterwards. Ahmer was extremely approachable, knowledgable and friendly, and went out of his way to customize the trip for us. My family and I were flying in to Paris and returning from Nice. He planned and booked the air ticket and local tours for us. He even recommended against booking certain tours and do the activity on our own instead (to save time and money). He has travelled extensively throughout his life with and without his family - this sets him apart from other travel agents as he actually knows the destination thoroughly. I would definitely book my future trips with him.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

An unforgettable trip to Egypt 2023
Reviewed By Linda - Boston, MA | Traveled to Cairo ~ Egypt ~ Africa
Ahmer Khan was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and attentive to details as we worked on planning a 10-day trip to Egypt for our group of friends. I have been to Egypt before several times and I knew in my initial conversation with Ahmer that he had an in-depth knowledge of Egypt that would make our trip seamless. While on the trip, I had to contact Ahmer a couple of times for questions and he responded immediately. This helped us feel supported even though we were so far away. Planning the trip with Ahmer also made the process easy and fun and I felt like I could talk to him for hours about our trip. From this point forward, I will likely never plan a major trip without Ahmer's assistance. It made the world of difference for myself and my friends and we returned with some of the most epic memories of lives, and we have Ahmer to thank for that!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A trip to remember
Reviewed By Kashif - Sacramento, CA | Traveled to French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
We were on the fence about this trip and decided to go after talking with Ahmer. He helped a lot in planning it and made everything a breeze. Buying plane tickets, car rental, hotel reservations, things to do, you name it; Ahmer helped with all of them. We are so glad that we picked Ahmer because it was a trip to remember!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
