We had an incredible stay in Morocco. From the early planning stages with the Kimkim team and Saïd to our arrival in the airport when we were greeted by our personal driver for the week Soufiane. He was a very kind, friendly, knowledgeable and respectful person who we felt instantly comfortable with. He seemed to know everyone wherever we stopped and had great relationships. Our tour guide in Marrakesh on the first day was very knowledgeable and friendly I can’t remember his name.
During our trip to the desert Soufiane stopped in several locations along the way to May our drive more comfortable. The guys at the Luxury Camp were so nice, the food was very good and their service outstanding. We will never forget this vacation.

Palais Sebban
Marrakech

We loved staying at this Riad. It was wonderful. On our first day we had a really large room with views of the inner courtyard. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner that night with a Belly dancer show and singers. An unexpected experience. Everyone at the Riad was super friendly and kind. Even one of the waiters remembered that my husbands stomach was not feeling so good and offered to make him a special tea. On our return from the desert we stayed here again for one night and stayed in a smaller room above the pool area. This one was not as glamorous but everything worked well.

Riad Ouarzazate

This was our least favorite Riad. The staff were very friendly and kind however the food was not good. This is in the middle of nowhere so there isn’t much to do here it was just an overnight stay on our way back from the desert.

Hey Tania,

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled to hear you had such an amazing time and that Soufiane and the desert camp team made your trip so memorable. I’ll be sure to share your feedback with them—they’ll be so happy ;)!

If you ever plan to visit Morocco again, I’d love to help make it just as special.

Warm regards,
Said
