Many of you might wonder what is that I do in Morocco. I moved to this North African kingdom in 2006, and since then that I work in the tourism business.
To make you understand a little bit more about my job and the subsequent opening of a coliving and coworking space in Morocco, I will give you some insights into my business life.
Back in 2001, I involved myself in organizing and leading overland expeditions from Portugal to Morocco, so I’ve been in the travel business for more than two decades now. For all those years that I gained tour leader experience, along with my personal travels around the world, I got to be a travel expert.
In 2006, in the city of Erfoud in southern Morocco, I opened my own marketing agency, specializing in creating content and marketing campaigns, websites and photography for hotels and travel agencies. After 7 years of working in this field, I gathered around 70 clients from all over Morocco.
In January 2011, along with my sister as my business partner, I opened a hotel called Dar Rita in Ouarzazate. Dar Rita is a seven-room + two-bedroom apartment boutique guest house. Fully equipped bedrooms with private bathroom, air-conditioner, and free Internet WIFI.
In 2014, my sister and I bought the most desired domain name Marrocos.com (geo domain name for Morocco in the Portuguese language), and since then that we sold tours in Morocco, as travel agents through a renowned Marrakech travel agency.
In 2018 we decided to bet in our own business and opened a tour operator and DMC called RJ Travel Agency, that specializes in Adventure Holidays to destinations such as Azerbaijan, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Morocco, Persia, Syria, and Uzbekistan.
In 2019, we opened the first Digital Nomad co-working/co-living space in south Morocco, called Dar Digital Nomad. The house is designed as a coworking space, with four desks and four comfortable office chairs. The apartment is equipped with a kitchen and a bathroom and includes a washing machine, a television, a refrigerator, and a coffee maker.
