I'm Dr. Abdelhadi Laaouina, and with a PhD in Tourism and over a decade of experience in real estate, I'm one of the most trusted guides to investing in Marrakech, a city where centuries of history meet a fast-growing landscape of opportunity.
As a specialist in Marrakech's high-end property market, I help investors navigate the city's thriving tourism and hospitality sectors, along with its most exclusive, high-value real estate options. From traditional riads nestled in the heart of the Medina to luxury villas and new developments on the city's outskirts, Marrakech offers a rare blend of old-world charm and modern investment potential, and I know exactly where that potential lives.
My approach is built on investments that are legally sound, financially solid, and structured for long-term growth. Drawing on an extensive network of local industry experts, government contacts, and the city's active expat community, I ensure every investment decision is well-informed and deeply rooted in the realities of the local market.
Working together, we'll uncover the best opportunities to buy, rent, or grow your property portfolio — with a personalized, end-to-end process designed to reduce risk, simplify the journey, and maximize returns. Let me be your trusted partner in Marrakech: uncovering hidden potential, unlocking profitable markets, and welcoming you into one of the region's richest and fastest-growing investment landscapes.
Whatever stage of your investment journey you're at, I'll be happy to welcome you and assist you every step of the way.
My story
I came to Marrakech from the south of Morocco fourteen years ago to pursue my studies, and quickly fell in love with the city. That passion led me to a PhD in Tourism, with a thesis on heritage, tourism and innovation in the Marrakech medina.
Before real estate, I built my experience in hospitality, cultural mediation and luxury property management. These roles taught me to read a riad, a neighbourhood or a hotel project not only as real estate, but as a living asset shaped by history, culture and the people who bring it to life. For the past six years, I have been advising buyers, sellers and investors at Morocco Sotheby’s International Realty.
Today I accompany private buyers, family offices and international investors, many of them high-profile clients who value absolute discretion, in the acquisition, valuation and repositioning of exceptional homes and hospitality assets across Morocco. I work in Arabic, French and English, with working Spanish, and I am also the founder of DaryCare, a luxury property management company.
My promise is simple: honest advice, a trusted network of notaries, lawyers and architects, and the global reach of Sotheby’s International Realty, at every step of your project.

Sotheby’s was founded in London in 1744 by the bookseller Samuel Baker. Its very first sale, on 11 March 1744, offered the library of Sir John Stanley. Over almost three centuries it has become one of the world’s leading auction houses for art, jewellery, luxury objects and collections. It was the first international auction house to open in the United States, in 1955, and its salerooms have seen historic moments such as Edvard Munch’s The Scream, sold for $119.9 million in 2012. Today the name Sotheby’s stands for authenticity, expertise and trust.
Sotheby’s International Realty was born in 1976 from the world of Sotheby’s, to offer a discerning clientele the same level of service for their homes. Since 2004 the brand has grown into a global network of independently owned offices that share the same standards: discretion, expertise and exceptional international exposure. Today it brings together around 1,100 offices and more than 26,000 sales associates worldwide. Morocco Sotheby’s International Realty brings that reach to Marrakech and the whole of Morocco.
