A Glorious Week in Marrakech, Imlil and Adafay
Morocco
|
Jan 30 - Feb 7, 2025
My mom and I had an absolutely amazing time on our week long Kim Kim-planned Morocco trip. Our travel consultant really took our preferences and requests into consideration to plan a brilliant - and varied - experience. We loved the riad (and hammams) in Marrakech, the rugged beauty of the High Atlas Mountain kasbah and the gloriously luxurious desert camp in Adafay. The few times there were minor hiccups, our driver, coordinator and travel specialist were very responsive and fixed the issue quickly. We would highly recommend.
Hotel Reviews
Convenient location near the souks, beautiful architecture and design, delicious food and friendly staff. They have a small room you can reserve for hammam or private massage (which was ok).
Activity Reviews
Mohammad was our favorite guide (besides our driver Mustapha). He was honest and funny and real, and he was very considerate to tailor the hike to my mom’s level of fitness.
Visiting the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca was a beautiful experience. Aside from this, I'm glad we did not spend too much time in Casablanca since there isn't much to do, as our travel consultant advised.
The Half-Day Guided Tour of Marrakech was mostly enjoyable as we got to explore the souks and major gates of the city, which were quite walkable. However, our guide, while nice, seemed to have a preference for taking us to pricier places, which wasn't ideal. It felt like there might have been a kickback involved, leading us to overpay for some items.
The Guided Tour of Majorelle Garden was beautiful and very much worth the visit. The location was a little out of the way so it required transportation, but the garden itself was stunning and a great addition to our itinerary.
The Marrakesh Evening Food Tour offered delicious options and was adjusted well to our dietary needs, but it felt rushed. It would have been nicer at a leisurely pace, as originally planned, to fully enjoy the food and atmosphere.
The Day Trip from Marrakech to Essaouira was quite lengthy due to the travel time. While Essaouira was nice, we might have preferred another day in Marrakech instead. Some downtime or independent exploration time would have improved this day trip.
Hi Leigha,
Thank you so much for your kind words! It makes us so happy to hear that you and your mom had such a great time in Morocco. We loved putting this trip together for you and are glad you enjoyed the riads, hammams, the Atlas Mountains, and the peaceful desert of Agafay. We really appreciate your recommendation, and if Morocco ever calls you back for another adventure, we'd love to help create another special experience for you.
Best wishes,
Hamza
