Under Moroccan Sun

Our trip was fantastic! Hassan did a great job planning a perfect variety of activities and matched us with excellent guides and the very best driver, Ismail. Accomodations were nice with centrally located locations. Loved our special Ramadan dinner with the family in Fez. Ismail was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area. He was very flexible and even showed us several sites we were not planning to see. Ismail was the best gift we got in Morocco. Thank you KimKim for another wonderful trip of a lifetime.

We cannot say enough about this amazing trip. Every place we stayed, every guide assured that we had the very best experience. And…Ismael, our driver, was incredible. He was a tour guide and a driver wrapped up in one amazing, personable, knowledgeable person. In many ways a driver can make or break the trip. We were so fortunate to have an exceptional one.
We have used KimKim several times and they have NEVER disappointed.

Trip was fantastic. The hotels were fine (not luxurious but not bad), the guides were terrific, and the driver Houcine was exceptional. He was so professional, kind, helpful, and he was the best driver. We felt very safe with him.

This was the trip of a lifetime!
A little background: I had never heard of kimkim. When I was researching itineraries for our trip to Morocco, the kimkim options continued to present the most interesting itineraries. Initially, I was a little hesitant to book with an online company. But, the reviews were very good. I’m so glad I did it!
Kimkim put me in contact with Majid. Majid is so patient, thorough and pays attention to detail. He grew up in Morocco and coordinates tours. He had amazing reviews, so I decided to book the trip.
Majid and I did most of our communication online. I could have called him, but the online system with kimkim is so easy. Majid was always quick to respond to any of my questions. I don’t think he ever sleeps! Majid listened to my goals- I wanted a trip with personal cultural experiences and some adventure. He made suggestions of the daily itinerary, hotels, restaurants and essential stops. He welcomed my requests for a different hotel at one stop and an additional night at another. He was very easy to work with and super responsive. Majid arranged for Moha to tour us through Morocco.
Moha: although he was introduced to us as our driver, he was more of our personal guide to Morocco. He was so kind, genuine, welcoming and knowledgeable. Everywhere we went he introduced us to people like we were family. He is more than I ever could have hoped for in a guide. We felt safe and well cared for throughout the whole trip. Moha and Majid were in regular contact making sure all the details were correct. And, Majid directly reached out to me multiple times on the trip to make sure everything was going as planned.
Moha met us at the airport upon our arrival Saturday. He drove us to our hotel, La Maison Arabe, and waited until we were settled into our rooms before he left. We were met by Hamid in the evening for a food tour. Hamid was our local guide in Marrakesh. Prior to our trip I was worried that eating in the souk the first night may not go well for our stomachs. But, I did not need to worry. Hamid knew all the best places! We had Moroccan soup cooked by the prior chef of the king- it was the best soup we had all week! We had crepes, Berber donuts, tagine and more! It was a great way to start the trip
Sunday Hamid gave us a full day tour of the city. We visited historical sites and the souk- he even kept our teenage boys interested!
Monday we flew to the merzouga area. We spent the day with Moha visiting sites on our way to the desert. The best part of the day was visiting Risani with Moha. He showed us around a kasbah where families continue to live and where he played as a boy. He also arranged for us to eat lunch with a local Berber family. Mohamed, his wife and 3 children ate lunch with us in their home. They made Berber pizza- yum! The most fun was joking around with Mohamed’s son and when Mohamed taught our boys how to tie their scarves for our upcoming camel trek into the desert. Mohamed was so kind and willing to share his stories with us.
Monday evening we rode camels into the desert during sunset! It was so awesome! We stayed at Tiziri luxury camp. I was initially worried about it being cold at night. But, we were warm in jackets around the fire at night. The tents very heated, beds comfortable and hot water showers. I recommend staying 2 nights since you arrive in the evening. Ahmed is the manager- he makes sure the camp is very well run. The food was excellent. During the day we went on a tour with a staff member from the tiziri camp who brought us to have tea with a nomad family and helped us understand their way of life. Our boys had a great time riding dune buggies and sand boarding! The music at night was incredible
Moha met us Wednesday morning to drive us to the Dades valley. Along the way, we stopped in todra gorge for a tour of the community farms.
We stayed Wednesday and Thursday at Dar Rhiana Dades. The food was amazing, the rooms are beautifully decorated and the staff is so kind. We really enjoyed our time at this Riad. On Thursday, Moha introduced us to Mohamed. He is a local who grew up in the mountains around the Dades Gorge. We hiked, listened to stories, climbed rocks and laughed with him for 4 hours. It was amazing! We met back with Moha at Mohammed’s house where Isha, his wife, had prepared an amazing meal! What a great day.
Friday we drove back to Marrakesh (6 hours). We stopped at the kasbah where they filmed gladiator along our way. We ate dinner at dar esselem- a nice meal with live entertainment. A nice way to end the trip.
The highlights: Moha and Majid! Moha was so amazing. I am so thankful that Majid coordinated such an amazing itinerary and chose Moha to guide us through the trip. Moha introduced us to the most amazing local guides to make sure we had a personal experience at each stop. Camel trekking is a must! Hiking the gorge was awesome!
Thank you for everything

From the moment you walk in the door, you are welcomed by everyone. The staff is so attentive and helpful. The rooms are beautiful! We loved he breakfast. The jazz club is a nice way to relax in the evening. It is a perfect distance from the souk- close enough to walk but far enough to be quiet. Wonderful hotel!

The whole experience from start to finish was amazing. Hassan and his team was very responsive to the numerous questions I had prior to booking and also communicated all the changes promptly. The trip plan took into consideration our priorities and was very well crafted. Khalid Ouzayd was our driver for the whole trip and was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and helped us with numerous tips on how to navigate each city. Always on time and made sure we are enjoying out trip. All of the local guides were also hand selected and did an amazing job. Overall money well spent.

My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting and exploring Morocco with the help of kimkim from January 21 - January 29, 2025 (9 days). We put 1,318 km (819 miles) on the Mercedes! The following was our itinerary: Arrive in Casablanca; Rabat (1 night); Fes (2 nights); Midelt (1 night); Merzouga (1 night); Boumalne Dades (1 night); and Marrakesh (2 nights). Majid was the local specialist who, from the moment we booked our trip, was instrumental in guiding us along our amazing journey from city to city and across the Moroccan countryside. He was the perfect quarterback who drew up winning plays and called for last-minute changes to ensure all of our needs were met. There were also several tour guides who helped us become intimately familiar with the religiously and historically significant aspects of each city and site we visited, and we appreciated each and every one of them. So, now, for the best part of the trip: Mouad. Mouad was our driver/guide/friend with whom we spent several hours each day, as we traversed the Moroccan shorelines, the High Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert (we will, by the way, never forget the sight of the stary night in the desert!). From the moment Mouad greeted us with his big, bright and contagious smile, we knew that we were in for a treat! He greeted my wife with a bouquet of flowers, which was so very thoughtful of him. He was, quite literally, happy, talkative and engaging the entire time. He went above and beyond each and every single day to make sure that every single one of our needs were met, no questions asked--zero hesitation. He then surprised us with a heart-shaped cake to celebrate our 13th anniversary, in the middle of the Sahara Desert no less! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mouad, and Majid was not kidding when he told us (initially) that Mouad was one of his star players. We left Morocco having made a special friend! I encourage kimkim and Majid to continue to recognize the professionalism and love with which Mouad performs his work (although we're sure he does not even consider it work!) by giving him a call (+212-658-774107) to say Thank You! We sure are grateful to Mouad, Majid and the entire kimkim Team for making our Morocco trip one for the ages!
