Hakim and the kimkim team did a great job in organizing our trip to Morocco. They took the time to understand what my wife, daughter, and I were looking for on our trip and planned exactly what we wanted.

We started off with two days in Fes which included a six hour tour of the medina and surrounding areas of the city. Our guide gave us a brief history of Fes and he also gave us some great insight into the Muslim religion and Ramadan. We stayed at a riad in the medina with a beautiful courtyard and very comfortable rooms. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

From Fes, we drove south to Merzouga which is a small town in the Sahara Desert. From Merzouga we took a camelback ride through the desert sand dunes to a campsite about an hour away. We spent the night in a luxury camp with a fantastic dinner and breakfast. We also took in the sunset and sunrise from the dunes. This excursion out to the desert would turn out to be the highlight of our trip.

After breakfast in the desert camp, we rode the camels back to Merzouga and continued westward towards Marrakech. We made several stops along the way to see some beautiful gorges, the film town of Ouarzazate, and an overnight stop at Ait Benhaddou. I must mention that we were traveling just the three of us in a very comfortable SUV and our driver was excellent. He would explain to us the various sites along the way.

Marrakech was our final stop, and the city did not disappoint. Our stay included a food tour, a three hour tour of the medina, and a Hammam experience. We also spent a day in the Atlas Mountains hiking and having lunch with a Berber family. The Dar (hotel) was fantastic, again with very comfortable rooms and excellent staff.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Morocco. Hakim was always responsive to our questions leading up to the trip and he did an amazing job in booking first rate hotels (riad/dar), and in organizing tours and other events for us. Hakim was in touch with us throughout the trip to make sure everything was going according to plan. My family highly recommends the kimkim team, especially Hakim, for a unique experience in Morocco.
