"Every Carpet Has a Story" - Local Travel in Morocco, with Kristy Burns (Small Town Travel podcast)

​[00:00:00]

Hey there. This is Ted, producer of Destinations Morocco podcast. Thanks for being with us today. I just wanted to give you a little bit of a backstory to today's episode. Back a few weeks ago Azdean appeared on the Travel Small Towns Podcast hosted by Kristy Burns,

which is a really neat show that talks about basically travel to small towns and things to see and do off the beaten path. Away from some of the big touristy sites and goes a little bit deeper too, into the lifestyle of small towns. The whole notion of having more time, having more space, a lot of outdoor activities for sure. And just, you know, that feeling of walking down the street, bumping into people, you know, and trying to replicate that.

Therefore, as tourists, you know, when you pop into a small town, maybe for an afternoon, maybe for a few days, but to feel like a local while you're there. So it's a really neat concept And she reached out to Azdean to ask him, well, does this kind of thing also exist in Morocco?

 So an interesting area to explore. We haven't really looked at Morocco from that angle. We often talk [00:01:00] about the imperial cities, of course, and the main touristy roots through the country So Azdean gave some of that background for Kristy and her audience, But then they looked at the angle of traveling around Morocco, more like a local, which is certainly one of the things that Destination Morocco loves to promote. The idea that because it's a small family run company, they have lots of local contacts. They grew up there, of course, that when you travel with them, you have a much better chance of Getting to know locals

and not feeling quite so much like a tourist while you're there. so we thought between that context and.

Some good overview information about Morocco. It'd be a fun episode to share here on Destination Morocco podcast as well.

So that's the backstory of how we got to this episode. You can find Travel Small Towns podcasts anywhere in your favorite podcast app, or visit travel small towns podcast.com.

And before I pass it over to Azdean and Kristy, I'll leave it to Azdean for a quick reminder about the upcoming small group tour this November, 2026.

If it's something you're interested in, [00:02:00] and I highly recommend it as a great way to see Morocco, meet some new friends, see the sites, but not feel rushed, not feel you're part of a big crowd.

With much more flexibility to accommodate the things that you still wanna see, it's really worth considering. So you can go to the website, destinations morocco.com And here's Azdean with more information. 

​

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: I understand if you are wary about going to Morocco by yourself.

There's a lot to figure out.

It is a country 

that's not yet as familiar as those in Europe. But if the only option

is a massive group tour,

how enjoyable is that? This November,

from the 8th through the 15th, I'm doing something different. I am personally leading an intimate group of people throughout the Imperial Cities, at a price of just $1995 USD 

per person. As a native of Marrakech,

I want to show you the Morocco I love: 

the hidden spots, 

the private artisan workshops, and the quiet riads,

that [00:03:00] big tour buses can't even reach. 

The catch? There are only 12 spots total. 

Reserve your spot right now,

at destinationsmorocco.com, and join 

like-minded travelers just like yourself! 

​

KRISTY BURNS: Good morning everyone, and welcome to the Travel Small Towns podcast. I am so excited to be sitting here today with Azdean of Destinations Morocco, and also the Destinations Morocco podcast Azdean, thank you so much for being here today. 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: Absolutely. Kristy, I really, really appreciate this incredible opportunity to be a guest on your wonderful, wonderful podcast.

I'm so thrilled to share everything but Morocco with your audience and, and it's gonna be fun. So looking forward to it. 

KRISTY BURNS: And we were talking a little bit [00:04:00] before we got on, um, because I did not want to butcher your last name, but could you please say your whole name with that awesome accent? 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: Thank you.

First name Azdean. Last name is Elmoustaquim. 

KRISTY BURNS: Yeah, you know, I really was gonna try it guys. I really was, but it just sounds so much better coming from you. So, Azdean, let's talk about Destinations Morocco, your website is beautiful and it just makes you, you know. Picture yourself there. And so, you know, we were talking a little bit earlier, you're my first international travel business person on this show.

So we've had lots of travelers that are influencers and things like that, that travel internationally, but you are doing full on business. Sharing awesome. Small town things and you know, curated group tours in Morocco. So tell us a little bit just about your background, like what was your vision, your passion behind starting destinations?

[00:05:00] Morocco. 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: The inspiration basically behind destinations in Morocco. The company is me and my wife. We are both neighbors. Back home I was born and raised in the imperial city of Marrakech. My family hail from a small village and we traveled back and forth to Morocco, visiting friends and family. And then when we had our son in, in 2015, things really changed and said, Hey, you know, we know who we are.

We know where we come from. But it was really important for us at that moment for him to know where he's from, his roots, and since he was born. I mean, now he's 10 years old and he's been to Morocco. Many times speaks the language fluently and, and he's really the inspiration behind destinations. Morocco, I've been in the hospitality industry for three decades, and I remember even as a kid in the mountains, you know, we, we have a weekly souk or market, if you would, it's Thursday and that's where all the villages gather in one spot and, you know, do trade and, and sell and, and buy stuff.

And [00:06:00] it always. Seen tourist SUVs visiting our village, and I did not understand why. It's a small village in the middle of nowhere, why people would wanna come here and spend time and, and I just did not get it. But then when I came to the US I start working at restaurants, then hotels and so forth. So really, if you look at it, it's kind of a full circle.

I always had it in me in terms of the hospitality, but I just did not really know what was my calling, and I, I honestly believe that destinations, Morocco is my calling. So it's, it's been 10 years and it's been, you know, a lot of fun, challenging, but just incredible. Yeah. 

KRISTY BURNS: That's awesome. I love the picture of you and your son, by the way, on your website.

I mean, you can tell that you just love that little guy to death. 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: Thank you. Thank you. 

KRISTY BURNS: I have three boys myself. Wow. So I know just being a parent and being able to have. Those experiences with them really drive you. 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: Oh, a hundred percent. Yeah. 

KRISTY BURNS: And obviously that was a big [00:07:00] part of it for you and your wife and I just think that's really awesome.

So what with destination Morocco is your sweet spot, like your thing that's just yours. So one of our taglines here, we, you know, we kind of do unique, interesting. Yours. What's kind of your unique, interesting, just yours? Why do people come just to you? 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: Well. I would say something that's uniquely ours. We take care of the chaos.

We make the chaos come for a lot of planners, a lot of people, they don't know how or where to start planning their, you know, uh, complex itinerary to Morocco. So that's why we are really come in. We are really good at planning, you know, everything from A to Z, but then what makes us little different? Is, I would say the connections that we have with the local communities, the small communities, the small villages that a decade ago they were not even on Google Maps, so Right.

You know, you know, it's the access to the inaccessible that we have, [00:08:00] that large tour companies don't have access to it. And again, it's just been part of our network and the communities that we help and, and we work with. So when people travel with us or they use us as uh, their tool operator. Or booking.

They see where their money really goes. They see, you know, it's a small village, it's small families, uh, a lot of women co-ops, uh, single parents. So that's what makes us really, really different Then some of the travelers, when they see those things. I call it Travel with a Purpose. They bring donations. So, and it just makes, you know, it's, it's absolutely work.

You know, just helping those communities in, whether in the middle of the Atlas Mountains or the Nomad does that, it's just incredible. And that's really, really what drives us as a team to work really, really hard and bring to this, to Morocco. 

KRISTY BURNS: That's awesome. I actually have some contacts, some friends from some groups that I've been in over the [00:09:00] years, and one of 'em is actually called Travel on Purpose.

Oh. Like that is, that's, you know, her Instagram handle and when they travel, that is definitely becoming something that's more and more popular. 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: Absolutely. 

KRISTY BURNS: And like you said, it's wonderful because they're going into these small communities and helping them. Truly helping them, you know, so they're going, I mean, and some people are doing them as work trips too, you know, they're not just doing it to, to donate.

They want to get involved. Tell me a little bit more about kind of your sweet spot. Maybe I'm wrong, but looking on your website, it looks like the small curated groups seem to be what you specialize in. 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: Yes, that's a really good trend. A lot of people are very familiar with large groups. We're not really a big fan of large groups because you know so much in terms of intimacy of the group, in terms of, you know, scenery, in terms of spending time at an experience.

So the small group tools are really the [00:10:00] best way to go for many reasons. The group is small, 10 to 12. And the biggest part, which is you can still stay at riad versus a hotel. Um, yeah. In Morocco we have over 200 international brands just like the us, which is a surprise to a lot of people. But the riads, they only exist in Morocco, and that makes it a really, really unique experience.

So we suggest, I recommend staying at the riads versus the hotels, and you can do that with a small group versus a large group. Then, you know, it makes more sense to go in a small group because you're not wasting a lot of time versus large group just in and out of the, you know, the bus, it's gonna take you some time to go to a restaurant or a small village.

The logistics of it takes a little bit longer than it really, really affects the experience of, of the travelers. A small group tour is definitely the way to go, and also it's perfect for a lot of solo female travelers that. They're not familiar with Morocco. They're scared to go to [00:11:00] Morocco. They're concerned about safety, but all those things that they hear about that they may not be accurate, but a small group tool gives them that opportunity to be part of a small group so they feel a little bit safe.

And also they have that privacy. It's me going on a small group. They can do both. Actually. 

KRISTY BURNS: You are speaking my language. If I travel, that's the only way I want to go. Small groups, small towns, small everything. 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: Yes. 

KRISTY BURNS: So you can really experience it. But you know, you bring up some good parts about women too.

I mean, having that privacy, but feeling like you're getting that one-on-one attention Absolutely. Is just so important. So you mentioned. Something, and I know that I probably did not write it down correctly, but you said that it's only in Morocco places to stay in Morocco. What was that called? 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: It's called the riad , and it's spelled riad.

R Isaiah, Robert, I in DA Apple, D as in David, the riad, they're [00:12:00] really old houses back in, in the 19th century and so forth. Moroccan families did not consist just of parents and their kids. It was extended family, the brother with their families and the grandparents. So you'll see a very large family, probably 20 people.

15, 10, uh, living in those riads. And, and some are big, some are small. And that's what really how the Moroccan family lived back during those times. So now with time changed. The riad starts being utilized as guest houses, if you would, or as a second option to hotels. And this trend started really back in, I would say, late 1999, the early 2000.

So that's when the riad start to getting really, really popular in the tourism sector in Morocco. Now. It's just, it's just, it's a must. So. 

KRISTY BURNS: So what are the kinds of things that you experience when you stay in a react? 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: When you stay in the riad, there's no two riads that are built the same because each one reflects on the owner's [00:13:00] style.

If you would. Let's say you go inside the Medina of Marrakesh or Fes,  from the outside, they just look like regular walls, but then when you go inside the house or inside the riad, they just looks beautiful. I mean, they have, uh, courtyard, sometimes they have like a small banana tree. Or a palm tree or a water, a fountain.

Then you'll see some, they have one level, some will have two, some will have even three, depending how large the family is. It's like a, a really a garden, if you would. And it's really, really beautiful and a lot of them, they have open top, so you can see the sun goes into, into the riad. So, which is really a really nice.

And some of them, they have a small pool, and in some of them they'd have like a rooftop with a little bit of, you know, like a, a breakfast area where you can have breakfast or they can have dinner as well. 

KRISTY BURNS: Oh, how beautiful. I'm just imagining it all. I'm sitting here looking at snow as Dean, so that sounds pretty amazing.

What is the, the weather typically year round in Morocco? 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: In [00:14:00] Morocco, we do have four seasons. It just, again, it varies if you're in the north side, the south side, so it's a little bit more hot in Marrakesh than the southern cities. On the north side of Morocco, it's a little bit cold, but then during the summertime, fast area gets very, especially fast.

It gets really, really hot because it's located between two mountains, the rich mountains and the Atlas Mountains, and the air gets really, you know, trapped in West. So it gets really, really hot in that area. Then we have the coastal side, which is the Atlantic Ocean, then the Mediterranean, and they have little bit of different weather most of the time.

It's really nice. 

KRISTY BURNS: Oh, you're just painting the perfect picture for me. So, you know, if, if you're kind of thinking what you would do, if you're gonna start looking at putting together a trip with you and, you know, getting to stay in a riad and getting to go to a soup. Like, tell me a little bit about like what you're gonna see in those markets and just kind of some of the other things that you would do on a trip with you.

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: Oh, absolutely. The first [00:15:00] thing we start with is we do the discovery call, and that's when we answer all the questions that the travelers have and all the itineraries that we have created in the past. They're all customizable, so there's no two itineraries that are the same. So the itinerary we built according to what the travelers want to see.

Let's say they have eight days. They just wanna do the north side of Morocco. Then we craft an itinerary arriving, for example, Casablanca, then go into Rabat, then go into in Chefchaouen, then Fes and so forth. So everything really is customizable. Then the experiences. A lot of people when they go to Morocco, they're big foodies, so they wanna have a cooking class included.

At some point, they wanna have probably a food tasting tour. At some point as well. 

KRISTY BURNS: That's me. That's me. 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: 30. Yes. And we can do the cooking class in, you know, whether it's a, we can do it at a private house or we can do it at a farm or in the desert. So the opportunities are there for a lot of experiences.

We can do a hot air balloon early morning in in [00:16:00] Marrakech. We can do dinner on a show really anywhere in a city, whether it's Essaouira or in the outskirts of Marrakech, the Agafay Desert. If they end to surfing, we can do surfing classes or surfing in riad. I mean, the, the, the experiences are, and they, when have a henna experience, we can do that, uh, spa and hamam, which is, uh, it's similar to a Turkish bath, but it's different experience, which highly recommended as well.

So in terms of building the itinerary, everything is customizable to, to what the trial does want to see. 

KRISTY BURNS: That's so nice. So thank you. You set that discovery call and just find out what it is that they're interested in and build it all around that. 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: Absolutely. Absolutely. Okay. 

KRISTY BURNS: Awesome. So tell me a little bit about your podcast.

So, oh my 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: goodness. 

KRISTY BURNS: I said when we got on today, I said, oh my gosh, you look so professional. You've just got this all ready to go and well, let's talk about the Destinations Morocco podcast because you [00:17:00] can. Really get a sense right about, if you're deciding to maybe do this, maybe listening to the podcast is a good way to get started.

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: Oh, it's so funny, uh, Kristy, because during the pandemic, obviously we had a lot of time in our hands, and one of the things that I was doing, just I was listening to quite a bit of podcast and one that really stood out for me was Donald Miller. Podcast At that time I was, I think he named it Business Made Simple.

And in one of his episodes he really talks about the importance of podcasting and also he projected what it's gonna be in next five to 10 years. And he was absolutely aight. Mm-hmm. And you know, when we created the podcast by, by default, I am super shy. Um, it took me a long time just to learn how to read and talk in the, uh, the mic.

So, and I, uh, I was super lucky and I'm still very lucky to, to have. Ted with me, he's the, uh, he's the producer of the podcast. And in 2021 we did some homework. Uh, we did record some episodes that we never aired them. So in [00:18:00] 2022, we started the podcast in February. And I remember Ted asking me a lot of questions, what is the purpose of the podcast?

Do you wanna make money off the podcast? And I said, no, I just wanna. Create something that it's valuable for a lot of the, the listeners because you know, when you do a podcast, before you do an episode, you definitely have to little bit of homework and research. And even when I go online to, to do some research, I see and I find a lot of information that it's really not accurate about Morocco and traveling to Morocco, I took as motivation to really create some good content.

I didn't really think the podcast will get to the level that it did or have an impact. You know, 154 countries, 8,300 series. It's just those numbers. They just, they're just. Absolutely insane in the most pleasant way. So at some point it's gonna be its own entity and that's what we are right here. Because the podcast become its own business in a way.

KRISTY BURNS: Thank you. 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: Separate from the tour company, which we started and [00:19:00] we still do. So it's just, it's, it's amazing. 

KRISTY BURNS: It is amazing how the podcast community, all the things that are available now. When I first started the same as you, you know, it, it was like five years ago, maybe a little bit longer, but I, I just started it for fun.

I started it because I have another business that I thought this would be a great way to get information out and to be able to talk with people. And honestly, it was my outlet for fun. It was gonna be something that I could do that was a little bit different than having to just sit in front of the computer and type and post and all the things.

And yeah, over time. The people that it influences and the people that hear it and that enjoy it, it really surprises you. And it's like you said, it's in the best way. Absolutely. When you're not really trying to start it for trying to be some kind of phenomenon, you know? And so I'm just so happy for your success.

Thank you. And the things that you're doing, 'cause you're obviously just putting out really good information. Thank you. That people want to know and people [00:20:00] want to hear and obviously they wanna come see Morocco and they wanna know more about it. 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: Yeah. 

KRISTY BURNS: So tell me a little bit about some of the episodes.

What are some of the things that they're gonna hear about Morocco that's helpful to kind of get started on their journey? 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: I honestly, with all modesty, I always recommend the podcast as a research tool before you go anywhere else. Because when you go anywhere else, you're gonna hear a lot of the information.

Some of it is gonna be good, some of it's not gonna be good, some of it's gonna be accurate, may not be accurate. But the podcast, everything we have. It is 100% accurate and true. And we talk about scams and, and I remember one of the, I think we did four episodes about scams, and one of them was very difficult to do because we had to say some stuff that it's, it looks pretty bad.

Uh, you know, towards Morocco, but we did it, we did it out of love, we did it out of respect, and we did it out of awareness. 'cause I mean, tourism in Morocco is huge and, um, you know, [00:21:00] we get dms and say, Hey, you know, that's come episode really saved me because the, the person was smiling was so nice, but I didn't know, you know, so.

Mm-hmm. It's just incredible. We have episode about culture. We have cities. If you want to learn about Marrakech, we have quite a bit of episodes about Marrakech, Fes, Casablanca, Rabat, Volubilis, anything that you can really think of, we have it. Then we have the video version of a lot of those because in 2023 we went to Morocco and we toured the country 40 dates, and we, we recorded I think about 30 episodes in video.

So you see the locations, you see where we stay. You see the community that we help. The co-ops that we help as well, whether it's in a riad, you see everything. And this is really important because when we send you somewhere, we have already been there. We have a relationship with the accommodation already, the experience and so forth and so forth.

So that's a really, really good start in terms of the podcast. So I [00:22:00] would say 98% of people that listen to us, they don't really go with us, Kristy. They just go and by themselves on their own because they feel confident enough. With the research that they have done and the information that they have gathered that they can do it on their own, which is perfect.

KRISTY BURNS: That's a pretty awesome stamp of approval. 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: Absolutely. Exactly, yes. Then the other 2%, they just want somebody to do everything for them from A to Z and that's when we are really come in and it's been great. 

KRISTY BURNS: Well, and just speaking truth on your podcast is so important. You know, you said speaking in love about the things that are going on in Morocco that maybe you don't wanna talk about, but the reality is that stuff goes on everywhere.

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: Yeah. 

KRISTY BURNS: And so you are just pointing out the things that people need to know and being truthful about it. And that people appreciate that. Absolutely. People appreciate that because it's everywhere. It's not just Morocco, you know? It's here in the US too. Every state has some level of something. Yeah. So I don't think that [00:23:00] that's a bad thing at all.

I think that's awesome that you know, you're taking the time to hit. All the things that Travelers need to know, and obviously that's a probably a reason that you're doing so well. 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: Thank you. Thank you so much, Kristy. 

KRISTY BURNS: So I wanna transition a little bit, you're a traveler on top of all the things that you do, but this is the Travel Small Towns podcast.

So I have to ask you, you have a home base in Texas, and so you're familiar with the US too. So between Morocco and Texas and other places that you've been. What are some of your favorite small towns that you've gone to? Our listeners always wanna know from people that are experienced. What are some fun towns to visit?

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: In Morocco or in the us? 

KRISTY BURNS: Either or. It's your, your world's, your oyster. 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: You know, I, uh, we did, um, a convention last vendor in Vegas and we drove for the first time. It was a lot of fun, and I remember stopping at some. Small towns, but I don't remember [00:24:00] the name, but, but the hospitality, the people, super nice.

I think it's somewhere in New Mexico, but I don't really remember exactly where. So that's, that really, really stayed with me. And then I got to buy some fruits. And the fruits were very different. You can tell they just. You know, from Ian Farms. So that was, that's something that I will always remember then, you know, in Morocco there are so many, the stories are just incredible.

Everywhere you go, you take something with you. Somebody, a family and experience stayed with you for forever, for a life. And I remember in Morocco back in, in 2023, we did an episode in eight two, uh, eight two. It's really popular. In terms of movies, that's where they have film, the Gladiator One and Two Game of Thrones, and probably over a hundred other films.

And next to the location, there's um, there's a women's co-op and it's run by a girl named Sarah. She's just incredible. You know, me as a traveler is a tourist who just as Moroccan just walking into the co-op. Everything looks normal, that I see some ladies [00:25:00] just waving carpets inside. Looks very clean, very beautiful.

When lit and everything is so nice. But then once we sat down and we, you know, not getting scripted, we just, we just go with the flow, you know, Kristy. So we start talking about the women and. Sarah start talking about their stories and you know, the women in the village and I mean, everything was just, I did not expect a lot of the information.

When we walk in, we see those women waving those carpets. Those women are actually from the village of vitamin H two and that's what we see. They wanna think three or four of them, uh, they're just doing their thing, minding their business, just working. But then when you go inside, you'll see hundreds and hundreds of carpets, and they are from different villages, from different cities, from different parts of Morocco as well.

And I remember Sarah saying a lot of the neighboring villages, they could not come to the co-op to wave those carpets, so they waved them. At their houses, you know, and [00:26:00] those women, they're supporting their families, their windows, and they have grandkids. They have nobody to provide for them. Say the, they're the breadwinners, if you would.

And they, when they wave a a carpet, sometimes it takes a week, sometimes two or months depending on the knot and the quality of the carpet. So when they bring it to, to the co-op, Sarah sells it, and then they. Sell commission, then the lady gets a really, really good price for it. And it's just, it's, I mean, I lived in a village.

I've seen my grandparents do the same thing, but I, I never thought of it that way. And it's just one of the best ways really, to support the community. So when you go to those small co-ops. That's what you don't see in front of you. There's a lot of people that every carpet in that store has a story and those people, they near, they're right there.

Some are far, but they're all supporting their families, you know, their kids, their grandkids, putting them to school and things like that. So. And I go back to, to the same thing, you know, when you are helping or [00:27:00] you're traveling with the purpose, to us $5 is really nothing but to the, it's quite a bit. It is.

It's a lot of help. So, 

KRISTY BURNS: such a lovely story. 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: Thank you. 

KRISTY BURNS: You tell it so well. I 

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: feel like, thank you, Kristy. 

KRISTY BURNS: Well, it has been wonderful having you as a guest. Thank you. I could just talk to you all day, but tell our listeners how they can get in touch with you and how they can start to. Start their journey for destinations, Morocco, because I'm sure that anybody listening to this just wants to Google you right now.

AZDEAN ELMOUSTAQUIM: Absolutely. Absolutely. They can go to our website, which is destinations morocco.com. That's destinations with an s morocco.com, or they can listen to the podcast anywhere. They get their podcast, which is Destination Morocco podcast, and there's something we're doing this year. Kristy, we have never done, I am organizing a small group tour that I'm gonna be traveling with them coming November from November 8th through the 15th, [00:28:00] and it's on the website. If you go in, you can get all the information you need, and the value is incredible, the price, it's a really, really, really good value. The reason is because this is the first time we're doing it, so probably if, if we do well next year, we'll definitely, it's gonna be more.

But this food is gonna, it's if you're traveling to Morocco in November time, I highly recommend looking into that itinerary. 

KRISTY BURNS: Awesome. So why is this one so special? Because you're gonna be there.
