We guide you into places that change you. In small groups or privately — with itineraries built from scratch around who you are and where you need to go.
Rouh — Arabic for Soul — began with a simple idea: the most beautiful places on earth are the ones that make you forget who you thought you were.
Rouh is a collective of travellers. Curious about the world and about the deeper questions travel can awaken. For us, travel is not simply about visiting places. It is a practice of awareness, responsibility and connection.
“We do not travel to escape life, but to meet it more fully.”

We don’t discover places.
We grow into them.
Shaped through time, trust and lived experience.
Rouh was created to offer a different way of traveling. Journeys designed not only to explore the world, but to experience it.
Founder & CEO
At 35, after twelve years leading people inside one of Morocco’s largest corporations, Jad Sanhaji walked away. Not from ambition — but toward something he couldn’t yet name. He packed a camera, a notebook, and left alone.
Co Founder and Creative Director
Elena Sophie is inspired by a deep love for travel and inner exploration. Rooted in a lifelong connection to nature and ecology, she moves through the world with a commitment to living in harmony with the natural rhythms around her.
Africa and mountains specialist
Is a Moroccan adventurer, cyclist, and storyteller known for her long-distance expeditions across Africa. She previously cycled over 6,000 km across Morocco, climbed multiple 4,000-meter peaks, and crossed the High Atlas Mountains independently.
Yogi and Indian specialist
Khadija Khaldi is an artist, traveler, and curator of transformative journeys. Having explored India, Nepal, and the hidden corners of Morocco, she offers a unique way of traveling—beyond destinations, into experience.
Rouh Nordic
Signe is devoted to creating spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, each other, and the living Earth. With a background in leadership and organizational development, she has spent many years guiding people and systems through change — always with a focus on what creates true alignment and sustainable growth.
Rouh Nordic
Martin is dedicated to creating spaces where people can relax into themselves, connect with others, and experience the natural flow that arises when people and places meet. With a background in hospitality, he has a deep understanding of atmosphere, presence, and what allows people to feel at ease and welcomed.
Nepal Specialist and Tour Operator
Ram Silwal was born in the mountains of Dhading, Nepal, and has spent over 30 years navigating them — on foot, on rivers, and in the silence between peaks. Explorer, kayaker, outdoor educator, and founder of Summit Adventure Academy, Ram is one of Nepal’s most respected adventure leaders.
Mentawai Guide
Levi is Mentawai by birth and by lived experience, shaped by the rhythm of the ocean, the forest, and the island community he belongs to. His way of guiding is not something he performs or adopts for visitors—it is simply an extension of his everyday life.
Indonesia Specialist
Agung has spent his life reading Indonesia — its volcanoes, its coastlines, its hidden rhythms. Born and rooted in Java, he founded Indo Trip Designer in 2017 with one conviction: that a journey should leave a mark on the soul, not just the passport.
Media Production
Born in the 90s, Noaman El Garrab is a creative content producer from El Jadida, raised in Safi and now based in Marrakesh. What started with smartphone photography and short videos evolved into a full-time career in visual storytelling.
Community Curator
Alex is the founder of Kactus Eco Lodge, an off-grid island sanctuary in Cambodia built around simplicity, nature, and human connection.
Travel Explorer & Storyteller
She doesn’t travel to see. She travels to be afraid — and push through it anyway.
You’ll find her on the roof of the Mauritanian iron ore train, alone in the vastness of the Sahara, sitting on raw mineral like others sit on a café terrace. This isn’t recklessness. It’s a way of inhabiting the world.

I have travelled to forty countries. Nothing — nothing — prepared me for the moment the Sikerei began his ceremony at dusk. I cried without knowing why. I think my body remembered something my mind had forgotten.
”I’ve been traveling for thirty years. Rouh gave me my first trip where I forgot to take photos. We were three days into the Sahara when I realized my phone had died — and I didn’t care.
Hassan didn’t show us the desert. He introduced us to it — like it was a person he deeply respected. That’s the Rouh difference.
The group size made all the difference. Eight strangers in the Kyrgyz steppe — by day four, we were something else. I’ve kept in touch with all of them.
