I can't imagine a better way to experience Morocco than with Morocco Immersion. From my first interaction with Nihad through kimkim, I was impressed. She crafted an itinerary that perfectly matched our interests and exceeded expectations, even handling last-minute changes effortlessly. Nihad was always responsive, answering all my questions—even late at night.

We booked a 12-day tour with our own tour manager/driver. Thanks to Morocco Immersion’s connections, we stayed in the best riads, had top local guides, and enjoyed luxury at a reasonable price.

Our guide, Omar, quickly became more than just a guide—by the end, he was a lifelong friend. He made us feel at home from day one, helping us navigate the culture, people, and customs. One evening, after we ventured too far from our riad, Omar went out of his way to pick us up, even after his day was done. His care and hospitality were unmatched. Omar also surprised us by acting as our personal videographer, capturing special moments and editing short video clips for us. Saying goodbye at the airport was tough, but we left knowing we had made a true friend.

Morocco Immersion treated us like family. We were welcomed into their homes, shared meals, and experienced their incredible hospitality throughout. Locals we met spoke highly of the team, reaffirming that we made the right choice. We felt blessed to be in their care and, though I selfishly wanted to keep this amazing agency a secret, the world deserves to know how incredible they are and how to experience Morocco the right way.

The service here is impeccable! Having someone like Abdul be there for you at breakfast is the right way to wake up in Marrkaesh! He was funny and attentive and so very hospitable. Taught us all about the various Moroccan items we were savoring and showed us how to pour Moroccan tea the right way. His tea service was by far the best Moroccan tea we had on the trip!

Easy to access as it's close to the main street in the medina, so you're not lugging your luggage too far into the medina.

It's a beautifully decorated hotel in the Dades Valley. The food here is amazing! The rooms are spacious and beautiful. Very cozy little riad.

This is glamping at the next level! With your own shower, AC, toilet and a king sized bed! Our night in the desert was a special one - we were met with a rain storm! It *does* rain in the Sahara!! And wet Sahara sand is something to marvel at. We were lucky to have experienced this phenomenon. However, it also did mean that our camp lost power and so was operating on generator power, because of this some of the lights in the camp were not lit - but our AC and everything within our tents all still had power! Even despite the rain, the staff still gave us a beautifully cooked 4-course meal, and ended the night with songs and dancing in the dining hall tent. They deserved all the tips for contending with the rain and still making sure we were all kept comfortable, dry and sated.

Fès

This was one of the most beautiful hotels we stayed at on our trip in Morocco. The mosaic tile work here in every room was a wonder. Despite its stunning aesthetics, the service at the hotel could be improved. Although the front desk staff does speak English, they still were not fluent, and so at times had a difficult time communicating with the team. This surprised us as this was one of the most fancy hotels we stayed at and we didn't have a problem communicating with hotel staff in all the other riads we've stayed at on our trip. We also decided to experience the Hammam in the spa here, to which unfortunately I would say to skip. I think the experience is overpriced here for what it is. Save it to try somewhere else. Despite what we paid for, both my Hammam and massage felt very rushed.

Great location but a little isolated as walking to the medina was difficult from this hotel.

This was one of the highlights of our trip. We had an awesome time learning more about the Moroccan culture, and learning how to make couscous together. Really amazing get to know everyone from this experience.

Hassan really made our day in Fes! He is so knowledgable and patient - and just really adept at navigating the alleyways in the medina. Highly recommend Hassan! The lunch spot that Hassan took us to was some of the best kefta we had on the trip!
