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.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review. We’re thrilled to hear that your family had such a memorable and enriching experience in Morocco and that you’re glad you took the leap, even after some initial hesitation. It means a great deal to us that you trusted us with your journey, and we’re so pleased that everything from the itinerary to the accommodations met your expectations.

We will be sure to pass along your kind words to Farid and Zahra. They will be delighted to know they helped make your trip special.

We understand that the drive to the desert can be long, but one of the great advantages of having a private driver is the flexibility to stop along the way and enjoy the beautiful scenery. While Middelt is a charming Berber town, it unfortunately does not offer options for quality accommodations. For this reason, we often recommend continuing directly to the desert. Most travelers find the journey rewarding as it offers the opportunity to experience Berber villages, local markets, and lush oases along the way.

Thank you again for placing your trust in us. We would be honored to welcome you and your family back anytime you are ready for another adventure.
