1957. Spanish Poet and Editor.
In 1999, when LLuís Pont left Sabadell for the first time in a caravan of 4x4 vehicles, nobody could dream what the trip would eventually lead to. On this trip, Lluis travelled with friends and relatives while also setting out to fulfill a personal commitment: to repay the people from southern Morocco, specifically a small group of Sudanese people in a town called Khamlia, for all the hospitality he received from them years ago.
In collaboration with his good friend Tayeb, as well as the rest of the Ettaiek brothers, all of whom have worked in the tourism sector since the eighties – they already had a small aubergue, and offered meals in “el Café Des Dunes de Arfoud” and guided excursions through the magical dunes of the Erg Chebbi – a new project was started, guided by their heart rather than a business view.
As the project progressed, the friendship between Lluís and Tayeb grew stronger; Xaluca Group was growing to the point where it is today. Xaluca Group now offers a variety of accommodation options, a travel agency, XalucaTours, and a touristic transport agency, Arfoud Transports.
We want to thank you all, all of you who caught the enthusiasm of these two friends and decided to visit a neighboring country, guided by a sense of adventure, a desire to discover new places, and a will to experience something unforgettable ... You are our best ambassadors, preaching to the world about your experience, and you are the ones that facilitated making XalucaTours what it is today.
XALUCATOURS
To talk about XalucaTours is analogous to talking about Morocco.
Morocco is a country full of contrasts, a country that you will fall in love with, for reasons unbeknownst to others. A country where there are high mountains, long beaches and superb deserts, all within a few kilometers of each other. A country that always welcomes you with open arms. A country situated at the entrance to the biggest desert in the world. A country where everyone is left with a lasting impression. A country that will hold a place in your heart.
XalucaTours combines two concepts: a travel agency with the Xaluca Group infrastructure in Morocco – hotels, guides, transport, reception...
Evidently, we are a travel agency that specializes in Morocco.
Our philosophy involves organizing unconventional trips that offer a real vision of Morocco, with routes differing from those of traditional tourism, guided by professionals that know the area and allows you to discover authentic Morocco.
On our trips, no two days are the same, all you have to do is be present and enjoy the moment. You will feel immensely satisfied with having discovered the country without fear, without anguish, and, most importantly, with no rush. You will have the chance to communicate with local people, who will happily jump at the chance to meet you and offer you comforting tea and delicious cookies. They will want to converse with you and they will listen to you in respectful silence, with a blazing look that you will never forget. If you respect these people, you can create some lifelong friendships.
