I came across Kimkim while searching for ways to travel to Morocco. As soon as I reached out I was connected to .maryem from Morocco Immersion.
Maryem worked with me to help identify various itineraries and modify to suit our needs. She was knowledgeable and quick to respond
On arrival at Casablanca, we (family of adults ) were met by Eicham Idrisi who was our driver cum tour guide for the 9 days we were in Morocco. Eicham was very friendly, fun and drive very safe. He gave us a wonderful tour in each of the 5 locations - Casablanca, Chefchouan, Fes, Rabat and Marrakech we visited.
We will definitely use Moroccon Immersion and request Eicham for our next visit to Morocco

Our driver Abdel was incredible! Perfect English, and an incredibly safe driver, we enjoyed our time with him!

Highlights:
Casablanca Mosque - Hassan II
Rabat - Wish we had a full day here to explore
Chefchaouen- The blue city was gorgeous, wish we had more than 24 hours here to explore. We stayed at the Lina Ryad and Spa; the inside pool was incredible! Such a gorgeous place to stay. Be sure to call ahead if you are interested in receiving a spa treatment.
Fez - Riad Farouzi Fez was the most beautiful riad and telework I have ever seen! We especially loved Badar who works at the hotel! KimKim should hire him ASAP! Our tour guide Sayed was so knowledgeable and relatable, the tour would’ve been overwhelming without him.
Merida Sahara - AMAZING! We rode camels into the camp and took a 4x4 on the way out. Such a gorgeous Riad that looked like an anthroplogie catalog - Riad Madu Premium Camp is highly recommended! Again, wish we stayed another day.
Valley of the Roses (Boumalne Dades) - Relaxing and enjoyed time meeting with the locals. An authentic experience. Michelle and Hussein’s Kazbah Tiziri is so beautiful, I want to come back in the summer or spring to use the pool and eat and read in the garden. My family and I learned so much from Michelle, she is an incredible woman, host, and cook!
Marrakech- The most modern feel of all the cities. Our tour guide Amnay was amazing, and a local musician! He showed us exactly what we were interested in, and was so helpful and patient while we shopped. He is a great asset to kimkim! Riad Diamond of Marrakech was gorgeous. As beautiful tile work as Fes and Chefchaouen, and the perfect location to walk to the sites, restaurants, and bars of Marrakech.

My family and I loved our tailored trip to Morocco. We will pursue future trips utilizing this site!

We had a fantastic and memorable time celebrating our anniversary on a week-long trip to Morocco, all thanks to KimKim Travel! This was our second time booking with KimKim, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Maryem, our coordinator, was exceptional—always responsive and attentive to our needs, tailoring our itinerary perfectly to match our preferences.

Our Marrakech walking tour with Amnay was a delight; he was knowledgeable, engaging, and friendly, making the vibrant city come alive for us. The trip to the breathtaking Ourika Valley was another highlight, offering stunning views and an unforgettable stay at the serene Inara Desert Camp.

The true gem of our journey, however, was Essaouira. The peaceful, picturesque atmosphere of this coastal city provided the perfect ending to our trip, leaving us thoroughly enchanted. Our guide, Hicham, was also outstanding—friendly, professional, and an excellent companion throughout the experience.

We couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you, KimKim Travel and Morocco Immersion Tours, for helping us create such incredible memories!

Riad al Rimal

Marrakech

A charming riad nestled in the heart of the medina, just minutes from Jemaa El Fnaa Market and key monuments. The staff were pleasant and respectful. While the room was clean, it felt smaller than expected, with a comfortable bed but hard pillows. Breakfast was typical Moroccan fare—decent. The rooftop, however, was a peaceful morning retreat, complete with a jacuzzi we unfortunately didn’t get to try.

Inara Desert Camp

Marrakech

From the moment we arrived at this stunning desert camp, we knew we were in for a treat. It was our first time staying in a desert camp, and we only wished we had booked more than one night! The tents were spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities of a standard hotel room. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and air conditioning in the tents added to the comfort. The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel truly welcome. While the WiFi connection in our tent was spotty, we had no trouble connecting in other parts of the camp. Dinner was a delightful three-course meal, and the evening concluded with mesmerizing stargazing—a highlight of the experience. Overall, it was an unforgettable stay, and we can’t wait to return for another magical night in the desert.

Villa Beldi

Essaouira

Our stay at Villa Beldi Essaouira was absolutely fantastic. Located just outside the medina, the peaceful setting adds to its charm, offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle. The lush garden and inviting pool area are perfect for relaxing, and we often found ourselves tempted to spend the entire day by the pool. Our room was spacious, spotless, and tastefully decorated, with a comfortable bed, soft pillows, and excellent WiFi connectivity. Breakfast was a daily highlight, especially the delicious crepes and amlou, which we eagerly looked forward to each morning. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist. Overall, Villa Beldi provided a serene and memorable stay, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Essaouira!

Our tour guide, Amnay, was very patient and knowledgeable. He educated us on the history, culture, and traditions of the Moroccan people. He spent more time than allotted with us, especially in the souks, and made sure that we got everything we needed.

I recently had an incredible trip to Morocco, and I can’t thank KimKim and Sharon enough for making it all possible. Their exceptional service and careful planning were key in allowing our journey to continue seamlessly, even when one of our group members faced unexpected challenges.

Special thanks to Maryem, who crafted a perfect itinerary that balanced the best of Morocco’s culture and landscapes. And an extra shoutout to our wonderful guide, Sallam. His dedication went above and beyond; he not only drove us through the stunning Moroccan countryside but also guided us through the medical system with patience and expertise. Thanks to Sallam, we felt safe and supported throughout our journey, exploring unforgettable places like Marrakesh, Casablanca, Fes, Chefchaouen and Tangiers.

This trip wouldn’t have been the same without this team’s care and professionalism. Highly recommend KimKim for anyone looking to explore Morocco with peace of mind and great company.

Thank you for the incredible team you’ve assembled to represent your tour company and Morocco. From the moment we booked with KimKim, the communication was clear, concise, and helpful. Maryem was wonderfully responsive—quick, kind, and always available. Does she ever sleep?

Every arrangement at our Riyadh was both comfortable and elegant, offering the traditional Moroccan experience we were hoping for. Our days were packed with sights and activities, and we truly got an exceptional guide in Sallam. His knowledge of Moroccan history was impressive, and he had a wonderful ability to engage each of us, ensuring everyone felt heard, involved and comfortable exploring. Our expectations were high, but we came away with far more enjoyment, understanding, and appreciation for your culture and country than we ever anticipated.

When a medical emergency unexpectedly interrupted our travel plans, your team went above and beyond to arrange excellent care for me and smoothly adjusted our itinerary to meet our specific needs. Every response from your organization was outstanding, showcasing remarkable professionalism and genuine care.

The attention to detail you provided ensures the ongoing success of your company. For anyone considering a trip to Morocco, this team is second to none. I wouldn’t change a thing.

A Feast for all the Senses
Our Morocco Immersion and Adventure Tour was indeed a feast for all the senses.
Thanks to Abdourachman Idrissi, Sharon and Maryem and Hisham and Mustafa,our driver.
A feast of Touch - from the hammam in Fez, the camel ride and the feel of the rugs in Toudhra.
A feast of sights - from the vistas on top of the Atlas Mountains, from the Ksar at Ait Benhaddou, the sea of Date Palms, the olive groves and most specially the amazing sunset at the Saharan Desert.
A feast of smell - from the spices at the souk, to the roses at Valley of the Roses, and the seafood at the market in Essaouira.
A feast of tastes - the home cooked meal at the Idrissi home and the food we helped cook at Khadija’s Kuzina were the best.
A feast of sounds - from the drums and Rababs in the restaurant in Fez and the night music at the camp in the desert, the ululation of the women at the Hamamatsu and at the Argan cooperative and the muezzins’ call to prayer.
We are left with an abundance of wonderful memories to last our lifetime. Again Shukran to Morocco Immersion and Adventure

A group of 6 friends just completed an unforgettable two weeks of immersion in Morocco. Starting with the planning stage with Sharon and Maryem, through the airport logistics, (we arrived and left at different times) , through the two weeks guided by our knowlegeable, professional and entertaining guide AbdouRahman and driven skillfully by Mustafa through the amazing Moroccan landscapes and ancient cities, our experience with Morocco Immersion Tours and Adventures more than met our high expectations.

The mix of local life — eating at the markets (buying meat at the butchers, taking them to the grill or Berber pizza “kitchen”) — and high end beautiful luxury hotels in Fez and Marrakesh and our luxurious desert camp gave us a glimpse into the span of real life in current Morocco that is unlikely to be found in other tours. We were very appreciative of our day in Sharon’s and Abdou’s home in the Valley of Roses, especially the opportunity to meet their family and neighbors.

We were very lucky to have AbdouRahman as our tour manager and guide. His deep knowledge and love of Moroccan history and culture and his running commentary and answers to our questions were invaluable. He was also great with coming up with Plan Bs when current events required some adjustments to our itinerary.

In addition, we appreciated the knowledge and experience of the local guides especially in Rabat and Fes. They were also deeply knowledgeable and enthusiastic interpreters of the historical and cutural contexts of the sites we visited. And a special mention goes to Hussein and Khadija for the wonderful day we enjoyed in their home, learning about their lives, while we participated in a hands on cooking class, making two tagines, breads and salads.

In sum, our eye opening and enjoyable experience with Morocco Immersion was superb. From planning to execution, they were, professional, flexible, responsive, and informative . Choukran!!

Kimkim was great from the start. Maryem and Sharon were so helpful in the planning of our trip. They listened closely to give us the trip we were looking for, an immersion into Morocco and its culture. They suggested a zoom call as our group included sisters from different parts of the country. This call was most helpful.
I cannot say enough of our guide Sallam. He was not only extremely knowledgeable, but anticipated and took care of all our needs and requests. He included sites and experiences that only a Moroccan would know of. His knowledge of Moroccan history was exceptional. He told us of many traditions and nuances of the people in Morocco. He shared the background of Morocco and its history. He taught us thru his actions that Moroccans truly want to bring happiness and inclusion to all people. Tourists of all nationalities are most welcome.
We had an unfortunate medical emergency, totally unexpected, of one of our travelers. Sallam was quick to get us to the hospital and stayed with us endless hours to help interpret the doctors and staff recommendations. He traveled around the city and hunted down a medical device needed by the doctor. He found the device hundreds of miles away and paid for and arranged its delivery to town, delivering it to us quickly. The doctor was skilled and even made a house call to the hotel once my sister was released from the hospital. I cannot say enough about the care that Sallem offered to us. He Brought water and food, medical devices and always manage to bring a nice atmosphere to our situation.
I highly recommend Sallam and the KimKim team. Their expertise is great. They know the places and people that can give you the true Morocco experience.

Our Morocco Immersions 14 day tour of Morocco was great. Our visits were generally well planned and organized. The driver, Mustafa, was excellent. Abdu, our tour manager, did a consistently very good job guiding us, keeping us informed, and organizing our days. The local tour guides were all good to very good. Our guides in Rabat and Fez were the strongest. Some of the most enjoyable experiences were ones where we engaged with Moroccans more closely. Lunch at Volubilis was very enjoyable. Couscous at Abdu and Sharon’s home was fantastic. Our cooking lesson in Essouaria was great fun. Hussein and Khalidya were wonderful hosts at that cooking lesson. Camping in the desert was great. Finally be sure you get a Berber pizza! What’s a Berber pizza? Visit and you will see 😎
