Oh my goodness!! My husband and I had the most wonderful trip to Morroco for 10 days, due to, first of Ali, our fabulous trip planner at Original Travels which works locally with KimKim.com. We began with a basic itinerary which was one of the many offered for Morocco. Then Ali helped me to personalize the trip for some of my interests: We were able to visit a stable of Arabian and Berber horses which was amazing! We also visited a ceramic factory and a rug cooperative that benefits women weavers.
Our driver, Sufian, was just terrific, and we didn't realize how incredibly helpful he would be! He knows at least Arabic, Berber, English, French and some Spanish! Sufian was so personable and helpful in any way he could be. One of the most pleasurable parts of our trip was getting to know him and exchanging information and perspectives on each of our cultures - such a great learning experience! We will definitely stay in touch.
We also met many knowledgeable local guides which added immeasurably to our understanding of the Muslim culture and places of interest: Abdoul; Said; Mohammed and so many others.
The accommodations were also beautiful and comfortable - couldn't have asked for more. I could go on but suffice it to say that I would absolutely recommend KimKim.com and Original Travels!
P.S. I would love to add a profile photo however my computer disk is full and I cannot seem to transfer an image from the 10,000 photos I took in Morocco!
Hotel Reviews
We had a terrific storm which was quite amazing the night we arrived ~ it didn't stop anyone from providing a wonderful place to stay and impectable hospitality!
Lovely room with ability to open windows for the breeze! Again, all the staff were so incredible - it is hard to overstate it! The hotel is run by a family - the room was beautiful and the food delicious - so fresh and delectable :-) Such flavorful fresh fruits and vegetables! Went on an invigorating hike with Sufian and Mohammed, a local guide. Such a beautiful oasis to explore with Kasbahs in the background!
I'm sounding a bit redundant however ALL the hotels/Riad's were clean, beautiful and comfortable!! Riad Le Pélerin was no exception. And the staff, of course, was so attentive and super nice. And once again, the food was delicious and fresh!!
