Nihad Hammi

My son and I just returned from a great tour of Morocco. Nihad from Morocco Immersion helped us through the entire process of booking from the moment we reached out to Kimkim. We did not know much about Morocco or what to do there so we left this completely to Nihad (with a few preferences/ choices we made) and we are extremely happy with the experience. When we landed in Casablanca we were picked by Omar our Tour Manager/ driver from the Airport and was with us for the entire 9 days until we were dropped back at the Airport. He spoke English and was very knowledgeable and fun to be around with. We learned a lot about Moroccan history and traditions talking to him during the rides from one city to another. We also happened to be traveling by his grandmother's house and he invited us to drop by her house and enjoy their hospitality. The local tours and the tour guides arranged were very educational. We learned so much about the history of each place and the local activities native to the area from these local guides. Hicham at Rabat and Saheec at Fes stood out for the exceptional knowledge and explanations they provided .
The Riads we stayed were awesome...their service and hospitality was exceptional. The breakfasts provided at all the Riads were delicious and they provide a lot !

Sallam was our driver and guide for 4 days. He was not only a superb guide but an intelligent conversationalist.
Getting to know him somewhat added to getting a feeling for Morocco.
The fact that he is a well recognized social media personality demonstrates his superior appealing communicating skills.
The on site guides were also very good. In Fez, Moha was very very good.

The drive was long and it was raining, but Sallam's conversation and shared perspective was afforded time. Stopping in Ifrane was special and so was a restaurant known to Sallam. Experiencing the geographical changes from Marrakesh to Fez was an experience unto itself.

Our week long trip through Morocco was amazing! Nihad did a wonderful job planning every detail of this trip and ensuring anything we wanted to do was included in the itinerary. We had some last-minute accommodation needs upon arrival the required some adjustments and Nihad and the team were on it, making changes to some of the riads and our trip plan to help meet our needs and we are so appreciative of that! Abdul Rahman was our tour manager for this trip and did an awesome job guiding us through each of stops from Marrakech to Casablanca and everything in between. He went out of his way to make sure we covered everything we wanted to and more! He made some awesome food recommendations and showed us some great local spots as well traveled city to city.

Marrakech - we arrived here and had a walking guided tour exploring the markets, Le Jardin Secret, and main square/market area. We covered a lot of ground and our guide was very informative. We had lunch at the market place at a place called Chez Lamine and it was one of the favorites of the trip!
Dades Valley - Our next stop was in the Dades Valley area. We made several stops along the way for coffee/tea which helped break up the long drive as well as a lunch stop that came as a recommendation from our tour manager! Once we arrived to our destination for the night, Abdul Rahman provided us with a tour of the rose distillery and learned all about the distillation process. We finished our evening with dinner with a local family which was actually our tour managers family at his home and had the pleasure of meeting Nihad! This was very enjoyable, and the food was delicious!
Merzouga - Our next stop was towards the desert! En route to our camps for the night we made some stops along the way at a carpet shop and seeing the carpet weaving process as well as learning and seeing one of the world oldest water channels. Once we got to the desert area we took a camel ride to our luxury camp for the night which was a very peaceful experience and such a nice way to end the busy day! We opted for the 4x4 drive out the next morning since it was slightly faster than the camels and gave us more time to head towards our next destination.
Fes: We spent two nights here! One was more traveling to Fes and our second day was a guided tour! We really enjoyed the guided tour and seeing the Royal Palace of Fes, and all the craftsmen work while learning about all the history of the city.
Casablanca - our final stop and a quick one! We had an amazing stay right by the water which was a very relaxing way to end the trip and was able to squeeze in a visit to the Hasan II Mosque which was beautiful!

I can't imagine a better way to experience Morocco than with Morocco Immersion. From my first interaction with Nihad through kimkim, I was impressed. She crafted an itinerary that perfectly matched our interests and exceeded expectations, even handling last-minute changes effortlessly. Nihad was always responsive, answering all my questions—even late at night.

We booked a 12-day tour with our own tour manager/driver. Thanks to Morocco Immersion’s connections, we stayed in the best riads, had top local guides, and enjoyed luxury at a reasonable price.

Our guide, Omar, quickly became more than just a guide—by the end, he was a lifelong friend. He made us feel at home from day one, helping us navigate the culture, people, and customs. One evening, after we ventured too far from our riad, Omar went out of his way to pick us up, even after his day was done. His care and hospitality were unmatched. Omar also surprised us by acting as our personal videographer, capturing special moments and editing short video clips for us. Saying goodbye at the airport was tough, but we left knowing we had made a true friend.

Morocco Immersion treated us like family. We were welcomed into their homes, shared meals, and experienced their incredible hospitality throughout. Locals we met spoke highly of the team, reaffirming that we made the right choice. We felt blessed to be in their care and, though I selfishly wanted to keep this amazing agency a secret, the world deserves to know how incredible they are and how to experience Morocco the right way.

The service here is impeccable! Having someone like Abdul be there for you at breakfast is the right way to wake up in Marrkaesh! He was funny and attentive and so very hospitable. Taught us all about the various Moroccan items we were savoring and showed us how to pour Moroccan tea the right way. His tea service was by far the best Moroccan tea we had on the trip!

Easy to access as it's close to the main street in the medina, so you're not lugging your luggage too far into the medina.

This is glamping at the next level! With your own shower, AC, toilet and a king sized bed! Our night in the desert was a special one - we were met with a rain storm! It *does* rain in the Sahara!! And wet Sahara sand is something to marvel at. We were lucky to have experienced this phenomenon. However, it also did mean that our camp lost power and so was operating on generator power, because of this some of the lights in the camp were not lit - but our AC and everything within our tents all still had power! Even despite the rain, the staff still gave us a beautifully cooked 4-course meal, and ended the night with songs and dancing in the dining hall tent. They deserved all the tips for contending with the rain and still making sure we were all kept comfortable, dry and sated.

This was one of the most beautiful hotels we stayed at on our trip in Morocco. The mosaic tile work here in every room was a wonder. Despite its stunning aesthetics, the service at the hotel could be improved. Although the front desk staff does speak English, they still were not fluent, and so at times had a difficult time communicating with the team. This surprised us as this was one of the most fancy hotels we stayed at and we didn't have a problem communicating with hotel staff in all the other riads we've stayed at on our trip. We also decided to experience the Hammam in the spa here, to which unfortunately I would say to skip. I think the experience is overpriced here for what it is. Save it to try somewhere else. Despite what we paid for, both my Hammam and massage felt very rushed.

We loved our Moroccan honeymoon which we planned through Kimkim.

Nihad planned an excellent trip that met all our needs. She was very responsive and made many adjustments to fit our preferences, all the while maintaining a pleasant and professional attitude.

To our surprise, Nihad invited us into her home for a meal. It was a lovely visit that was the cherry on top; we felt like family!

We'd also like to give a special shout-out to Omar, our driver and at times tour guide. We spent a lot of time with Omar, travelling through Morocco. He is a kind person that is very easy to get along with. It truly felt like visiting a close older cousin, who then shows you around his country.

All of our tour guides and service providers through Morocco Immersion were of the highest caliber; truly tremendous!

Nihad was very responsive and helpful
Hicham our guide was great
He was highly knowledgeable and made us feel at home everywhere
We appreciated his flexibility and personalized high level service
