Morocco Tailor-Made Itineraries

My wife and I and our two girls age 16 and 13, had a fantastic one week trip in Morocco, visiting Fez, Merzouga (Sahara desert camp), Quarzazate, and Marrakesh. We flew into Casablanca and out of Marrakesh. This trip was most certainly out of our comfort zone, and we even considered bailing on the trip in the days leading up. I am so glad we went. Booking through KimKim (MOBT Global) was a leap of faith, but they 100% delivered on the itinerary and riads/hotels as promised and were very responsive to questions before and during the trip. While our driver Farid did not speak English, we were able to easily communicate with him with Google translate, and he was like a genie who appeared at the exact correct times, every time. Farid was extremely warm, friendly, and protective of us during the trip. The Mercedes van provided was very comfortable for the long drives. Zahra, our tour guide in Fez, was outstanding and request her to be your guide in Fez if you can. If we had more time, in hindsight, I would have extended the trip by two days to break up the drive to and out of the Sahara desert, adding an overnight in Midlet (middle between Fez and Merzouga) or some other nearby town and Tinghir / Todra Gorge (middle between Merzouga and Quarzazate). Also consider adding a day for the Atlas Mountains. Don’t skip the Sahara desert overnight and camels, it was the highlight of our trip, which was already filled with many highlights! I would not hesitate to use KimKim or MOBT again.

A true bucket list adventure that did not disappoint! Our driver, Abdel, was absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, safe, and didn't miss a single wonderful activity. He made us truly feel like part of his family. Everything was wonderful including the excursions into different city markets, the beautiful Ryads we stayed in across the country, and of course the fantastic camel ride and night glamping under the stars deep in the Sahara Desert.

We absolutely loved this ryad in Rabat and wished we could have stayed there longer. Everything was wonderful including the beautifully renovated historic building and rooms, the great views of the city, the attentive and friendly staff, and of course the fabulous food. We look forward to staying there again the next time we visit Rabat.

Arrive in Casablanca & Transfer to Rabat

Morocco

We were met on time and communication was fantastic. Our driver, Abdel, was wonderful from the moment he met us at the airport with a huge welcome and a genuine smile on his face. He was a joy to work with and we were very luck to have him as our driver throughout the 9 days.

KimKim is a very good group to book with. We started working with Ali and had good written and verbal communications with him.
Our trip was then turned over to Said, and he was easy to work with, and responded promptly when we reached out to him before and during the trip. In one city our tour guide didn’t show at our hotel. We contacted Said and he was going to quickly have a replacement, but we didn’t want to wait. He compensated by arranging for a guide on a different day, at a different site.

We were happy with the accommodations they booked for us through Original Travel. We were treated extremely well by everyone at all 6 locations.

The best decision we made was to travel by private car and driver. Our driver/guide was Mustapha and he was GREAT!
Mustapha was professional, friendly, and very accommodating. He did all the driving, handled all the luggage, and knew all the best places to stop for food, photos, shopping, and clean bathrooms. We felt very comfortable and safe with him. He provided a lot of information about the cities, the country, and its history. The trip would not have been the same with out him.

Hotel Dar Mounir

Chefchaouen

The hotel is well located. The breakfast is OK. We did run into a small problem of our own making, and the young man and woman at the front desk went well out of their way to help us. They could not have been any nicer as they spent an hour of their time helping us. We were so grateful! Cars can not pull up to the hotel, and so the hotel sent an employee out to help us with our luggage. All of the hotel staff treated us very well.

Orient Desert Camp

Merzouga

Said the owner made us feel very welcome. The men serving our meals were great. They made us a special dinner the 2 nd night. One of the men in particular had a great sense of humor, and had us laughing several times. The tents and beds were comfortable and had showers and private bathrooms. The driver who took us out for the day, Ramadan, spoke a little English, and he took great care of us, and brought us to a great restaurant for lunch.

Very close to the Kasbah and everything else.

Staff

The staff in the dining room were very accommodating. They serve a large dinner buffet, but it was late and we only wanted a small meal. They went out of their way to allow us to only eat what we wanted, for less than the full price, which was reasonable priced anyhow.
