Hamid Oumezdou and Sara Lamzouwaq were chosen as 2023 World Guide Awards nominees.

The Wanderlust World Guide Awards unveiled the 11 contenders on the shortlist for the 2023 World Guide Awards.

Sara is a highly esteemed tour guide in Morocco who enriches tourists’ cultural and environmental experiences, she’s one of the few female tour guides, according to Wanderlust. 

Hamid, a dedicated tour guide, lives in Marrakech. He has been a tour guide in Morocco for 13 years and has led innumerable mountain hikes and in-depth city excursions.

Tour guides and leaders are an essential component of travel, especially for people looking to dive deep into a destination, according to Wanderlust. 

Tour guides support safe navigation and enable tourists to make stronger connections with local communities, cultures, and the natural world. However, within the industry, guides are infrequently commended or acknowledged.

Wanderlust introduced the World Guide Awards in 2006. The virtual awards ceremony for this year will take place on June 29 at 6.30 p.m. Each guide will have their moment in the spotlight before a variety of accolades are presented, including the night’s top honor, the Gold Award.

Tour guides from Nepal, Saudi Arabia, Gambia and India also made the list of the nominees of the award.
