The fake guide rocked up on horseback and falsely introduced himself before engaging the woman in conversation, local media reports.
He then reportedly offered to take her to a scenic spot down the beach from the popular tourist village of Taghazout.
But once they reached an isolated spot, he is said to have turned on the lone woman and raped her – before fleeing on his horse.
The woman made her way back and told her travel partners and the hotel about her traumatising ordeal.
It was reported to local police and an active search was launched for the alleged rapist.
Authorities swept the area, interviewed people nearby and interrogated horse owners along the coast – leading to an arrest.
A police check on the suspect revealed he had a criminal record of similar cases, local media reported.
The man was hauled before the woman in courtwhere she immediately identified him as her alleged attacker.
He was then placed in police custody pending further investigation.
