This is the second trip we are taking with Kumkum. We are extremely happy with their services and detail.
We would like to mention that out driver Hakim Hamzawi was extremely professional and took utmost care of our needs during these nine days. We specifically wanted a private car to tour around Morocco. Hakim Hamzawi was with us throughout this long trip from picking us up from Casablanca, driving to Rabat, to Fes, driving the long trip to Sahara, to Marrakech, and finally back to Casablanca. He patiently took us to all the top spots, even staying late, coming early. During the end, when my son fell ill, we relied on him to help pick up some medication. There was a lot of good friendship and I would definitely recommend him to our friends who are planning a trip to Morrocco. He is definitely an asset to Kimkim travels..

Riad Kalaa 2
Rabat

Such a charming gem tucked away in Rabat. The hospitality is amazing here and the rooms are gorgeous.

So incredibly charming, old world meets new. Center of Medina.

Plan on bringing your own shampoo, although the Riad offers some basic amenities. The rooms are extremely clean and cozy.
Riad El Yacout
Fès

If you want to see the Morrocco architecture and beautiful mosaics then this Riad is for you. The customer service is out of this world and don’t miss the hamaam here. Having tried hamaams at different countries especially Rome, Greece, and even Egypt- I can vouch that this place packs quite a punch. They give a pretty good service and the area is very neat.

Riad Madu Desert Camps
Merzouga

A once in a lifetime experience going to this luxury camp with running water and shower. The rooms were so comfortable. The food was customized for vegetarians. The soup was mouthwatering. Wear loose comfortable clothing for the almost 2 hour camel ride to the camp. Leave early enough so that you won’t miss the sunset and plan your trip to coincide with a full moon. The desert during full moon is stunning

The desert is a harsh environment but this place was so comfortable and made the adventure magical

Riad Ksar Ighnda
Ait Benhaddou

A beautiful breathtaking oasis in the middle of the desert. The ambiance is a showstopper. Every detail is perfect from the bathroom to the bed, to the towels, to the toiletries. I was sad that we stayed only a night here. The views, landscaping was impeccable. The food was so mouthwatering.

Riad Noir d'Ivoire
Marrakech

I believe this Riad looks beautiful. However it’s not very old. It’s quite overrated and maybe the services have gone downhill. It takes extremely long and the services are not as good as the other riads. For the money charged, you don’t get the satisfaction and comfort. The rooms need maintenance. Our tub was leaking, many lights did not have bulbs, my son’s room had a big unknown stain on the sheet. The hammam was overpriced and not upto the mark. We did complain to the owner and got the refund which was decent of him. If he fixes the maintenance and services issues, this place would be fantastic. The location is prime.

Authenticity & Character
It’s a new building and has been built keeping the old architecture in mind.

Central and close to everything

It’s not a Riad. Just an average hotel. Pretty decent.

Such a beautiful surprise! I never expected to see such a magnificent mosque built in my lifetime. To think this was built from 1986-1993! This is such a beautiful monument and has incredible detailed carvings in every nook and corner.

Very clean city and half a day tour is sufficient to cover the city. Plan on adding the Blue City if you can fit into your itinerary.
