Prefer a Private Journey? Book a Private Jewish Morocco Tour

A bespoke Jewish heritage tour should feel like your family's story. Some journeys are best shaped entirely around the people travelling them – the grandmother who wants to sit quietly in the Ibn Danan Synagogue, the teenager who connects through food and the desert, the couple tracing a family name back to a Jewish cemetery in Fez.

With a bespoke tour, every journey begins with a conversation with our founder, Asaf Peled. Asaf will build the route, the pace, and the moments that will stay with you for years to come.

Who Organizes Your Jewish Morocco Tour?

Every Shin Tours journey is designed and overseen by Asaf Peled, founder and CEO of Shin Tours whose unique approach has been recognised in The Jerusalem Post, Haaretz, Hadassah Magazine and more. Asaf has been a registered tour guide since 2012, and he builds each Jewish Morocco itinerary personally.

Asaf spends months each year vetting and re-vetting:

  • The hotels
  • The guides
  • The restaurants
  • The sites

Our five itineraries are based on hundreds of travelers walking the same routes – but Asaf also has the expertise to create a custom itinerary for your tour group.

Who Are the Guides on the Ground?

On the ground in Morocco, your tour is delivered by licensed, insured local guides and drivers. You get the reassurance of qualified Moroccan specialists who know the country intimately, with Shin Tours designing and leading your journey from first enquiry to final departure.

Guests travel with the same guide and driver throughout – the people who, as one traveller put it, make or break a trip. We use local guides like Youssef Sebti, a Moroccan Ministry–registered guide praised by recent guests on TripAdvisor for flawless English and deep knowledge of the country's Jewish and cultural heritage.

Youssef was recommended as a tour guide by The Times newspaper and personally knows Jewish families in Marrakech, Fes and Casablanca who open their doors and dining rooms for our guests.

Why Book With Shin Tours?

Many international travelers book a Jewish tour of Morocco with a local operator. But while a local operator only runs the tour, Shin Tours designs, manages, and stands behind your entire journey.

Here's what that means in practice.

1. We handle the whole trip, not just the tour.

From the moment you land to the moment you depart, Shin Tours manages everything you want handled – fast-track arrival, private transfers, hotel check-ins, the flow between cities, and constant contact throughout.

When plans change, we solve it in real time. On one recent trip, when a strike grounded a client's flight, Asaf had them rebooked and on their way the next day. A local operator often can't promise that.

2. One point of contact for all concerns – Asaf.

Asaf designs your itinerary, vets every element, and stays reachable throughout. One couple on TripAdvisor (see review above) chose Shin after Asaf personally phoned them to reassure them over a food concern before they'd even booked – the kind of personal attention a hands-off local booking simply doesn't include.

3. Last minute changes and adjustments.

Because Shin holds the whole trip, we can adjust on the fly – swap a day, add a site, shift the pace – even at the last minute. Local tour providers can't offer this level of customer support.

4. Personally vetted quality, guaranteed continuity.

Every hotel, guide, restaurant, and site is hand-checked by Asaf. You travel with the same guide and driver for the whole trip – no rotating strangers – staying in places chosen for authentic character. One senior couple stayed in five different riads across the country and rated the service five stars throughout (see reviews above).

5. We're Jewish-heritage travel specialists – not just a Morocco operator.

A Morocco-based operator knows Morocco. Shin Tours knows Jewish heritage travel: what a Jewish family actually wants, how to build kosher and Shabbat observance into a route, how to make a roots journey meaningful across generations. Asaf has designed Jewish heritage journeys for over a decade. That expertise – the interview, the design, the understanding – sits with Shin, and it travels with you wherever your journey goes.

Book a tour with Shin Tours and you get a journey designed around your family, managed end to end, by a Jewish heritage travel expert.

Highlights: The Best Jewish Sites in Morocco

Morocco holds one of the oldest and richest Jewish histories in the world – synagogues still in use, restored mellahs, sacred tombs, and museums that most visitors never reach.

On a Shin Tours journey, you visit them with a guide who can read the inscriptions and tell you whose story you're standing in. Here are four of the heartland cities.

Jewish Casablanca

Casablanca is the modern heart of Moroccan Jewish life, home to the largest remaining community in the country. You'll visit the Museum of Moroccan Judaism – the only museum of its kind in the Arab world – and the grand Beth-El Synagogue, known for its stained glass and its role in the city's living community. The old mellah and its markets round out a day that connects Morocco's Jewish past to its present.

Jewish Fez

Fez holds the oldest Jewish quarter in Morocco. You'll walk the mellah – the first to bear that name – and step inside the beautifully restored Ibn Danan Synagogue, a UNESCO-recognised jewel of Jewish architecture. Nearby, the hillside Jewish cemetery and its whitewashed tombs look out over the medina, and the community's history stretches back over a thousand years.

Read more: A guide to the Fes Mellah.

Jewish Marrakech

Marrakech's mellah is one of the largest in Morocco, tucked beside the royal palace. You'll visit the Slat al-Azama Synagogue, still active and centred on a peaceful courtyard, and the historic Jewish cemetery (Miâara). It's a chance to see how a community lived at the heart of an imperial city – and where a few threads of it continue today.

Read more: A guide to the Marrakech Mellah.

Jewish Essaouira

Once a third of Essaouira's population was Jewish, and the town wears that heritage openly. You'll explore the restored Bayt Dakira heritage centre and synagogue, the old mellah, and the coastal traditions tied to figures like Rabbi Haim Pinto, whose synagogue and tomb still draw pilgrims. Essaouira is where Morocco's Jewish story meets the Atlantic.

Reviews of our Jewish Tours to Morocco

We recently returned from an 8 night taste of Morocco tour totally arranged by Shin Tours. We are a well-travelled senior couple in good shape, but for an unfamiliar country like Morocco, we wanted a private tour with our own guide and driver. We researched several travel companies on the internet and settled on Shin for the very kind interactions we had with their agent Asaf. We had many emails back and forth, and at one point he called us personally when my wife had some food concerns; he was very reassuring. We made our own airline reservations based on what cities we wanted to see and then turned the planning over to Shin. They put together an initial itinerary, and then we asked for some tweaks, which they gladly did. What a great trip we had! We stayed in 5 different riads throughout the country, as we felt they would be a more authentic experience than classic hotels. Each one was different, but in all of them the service was very high level and personal. For the entire week of touring, we had the same guide and driver throughout, both Moroccan natives. On a tour like this, these are the people that make or break your vacation. Well, they gave us a Five Star experience. Our guide Yousseff spoke perfect English and was extremely knowledgeable, warm and accommodating. Our driver Abdullah was a very sweet man, a good driver in Morocco's crazy city traffic, and he kept his very comfortable Mercedes van stocked with tasty snacks and endless bottles of water. Lavish breakfasts were included every morning, and we were always guided to safe places to eat when we were on our own for meals outside of the riads. We saw a wide range of sites: historical ruins, magnificent mosques, well maintained synagogues, and bustling souks, the Moroccan urban markets. I could go on and on, but in sum, we recommend this tour company highly.

Posted to Shin Tours Tripadvisor – Feb 2026

From the moment we landed in Marrakech to the moment we departed, this was one of the most seamless and thoughtfully curated travel experiences we’ve ever had. Every detail was handled with precision. Arrival at the airport was effortless, with a smooth fast-track process and a driver waiting exactly as promised. From there, everything flowed perfectly—private transfers, exceptional guides, and hosts who truly felt like the best of the best. Each person we encountered was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. What stood out most, though, was how sincere the guides were in sharing their culture. It didn’t feel transactional—it felt personal and genuine. As visitors from a foreign country, we left feeling genuinely connected to Morocco in a way that’s hard to describe but deeply meaningful. The itinerary itself struck a perfect balance between cultural immersion, relaxation, and unique experiences. Every day felt intentional and special, yet never rushed. The level of privacy and refinement throughout made it clear this was a truly high-end experience designed for comfort and ease. This wasn’t just a trip—it was a thoughtfully crafted journey that allowed us to fully experience Morocco without ever worrying about logistics. Highly recommend.
