Private Project

One Story at a Time

Moroccan oral storytelling traces back over a thousand years, passing down moral lessons from generation to generation, family to family. Today, this traditional art is being marginalized by a globalizing world, so Mehdi El Gahly and Jawad Elbeid founded Hikayat Morocco as a way to preserve the art by training a new generation of storytellers.
