The Zayan Story
Bridging Morocco to the World
Our story began in 2009, with Younes and Khadija, a spirited couple deeply in love with their Moroccan heritage. They envisioned Zayan as a bridge connecting Morocco to the world, a name inspired by the renowned Berber tribes known for their warm hospitality and exquisite craftsmanship.
Like the art of handwoven rugs, Zayan, as a boutique tour operator, excels in creating personalized journeys that unveil the profound essence of Morocco. We dedicate ourselves to crafting unique, immersive experiences that not only explore the country's rich culture, history, and landscapes but also highlight the warmth and hospitality of its people, offering intimate and unforgettable encounters for our travelers.

A Commitment to Empower Moroccan Communities
At Zayan, our commitment extends far beyond the conventional tourist experience. We aim to make a meaningful difference in the communities we visit, enriching both your journey and the lives of locals.
In the Middle Atlas Mountains' rural areas, a concerning 93% of young girls lack access to education beyond primary school. This reality motivated our partnership with NIBRASS, an NGO devoted to educating these girls—a mission we fervently support.
We believe in empowering these young minds, convinced that with the right support, they can significantly alter their futures and positively impact their communities.
By dedicating 5% of our annual profits to this cause, we ensure that traveling with us contributes to building a brighter, more educated Morocco. Your journey with Zayan becomes a part of a larger movement towards positive change.
