Hi Iryna,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your incredible experience exploring Morocco's wonders, It brings us immense joy to know that we were able to fulfill your childhood dream and turn it into an amazing adventure beyond your expectations.

The Sahara Desert has a mystical allure that often captures the imagination, and we're thrilled to have played a part in making your visit a reality. Your enthusiasm for the diverse locations you explored, such as the enchanting blue town of Chefchaouen and the delightful Erfoud with its delicious dates, is truly heartwarming.

His easy-going nature, punctuality, and exceptional driving skills undoubtedly added to the perfection of your Moroccan journey.

I travel quite a bit, but this was the first time I've leveraged a travel agency. I find it very enjoyable planning all aspects of an upcoming vacation, but I didn't have the time nor capacity this time around to fully delve into planning mode for Morocco. I've heard good things about KimKim and decided to give them a try.

From my initial outreach, Ali and the full team have been a dream to work with. Ali has been a saint with all the changes we made to the itinerary and always responded immediately to my emails. Said, who was our local contact, was equally responsive and amazing to work with. Throughout the entire trip, I felt like he had a pulse on what was going on and did everything he could to ensure we were having a great time and had everything we needed. Lastly, we had Reda, our private driver. Having a private driver on this trip made everything so much easier. Reda is kind, knowledgeable, and safely got us to every location we needed to go.

The highlight of the trip for me was the night in the desert (and the team at the camp was equally as wonderful); however, I also have to mention that the optional dinner activity with the local family was a treat. The family we were paired with is special. The kids were charming and entertaining. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS, and it was the best way to spend the Thanksgiving holiday. I highly recommend adding this activity to your itinerary.

This level of customer service at KimKim is top-tier.

Mövenpick Hotel Casablanca

This was our least favorite place we stayed during our entire trip. That being said, it was just for one night and we had quiet, restful sleep in the room we were in. The hotel is listed as a luxury hotel but it was pretty run-down and the food served in the main restaurant was very average. The roof deck upstairs was a nice place to hang out for drinks, though.

Cons: Found dinner to be a little more expensive than other places with the food only being OK compared to other places we stayed throughout Morocco. Note: this area was impacted by the recent earthquake (the hotel was fine!) so the town seemed especially quiet and you could see that some repairs were underway.

Such a treat to be invited into a Moroccan family's home! Said and his son came to pick us up at our hotel and then helped us navigate the labyrinth in the medina to make our way to their home. We arrived to a delicious home-cooked meal of numerous vegetable side dishes and a chicken pastilla! Said's son speaks excellent English so helped with communication and kept us entertained with his conversation and musical skills - along with his younger brother and sister.

A beautiful drive from Chefchaouen to Fes. We passed through many little towns and saw the scenery change quite a bit. One of my favorite stops was at a vista point where there was a pomegranate juice stand - freshly squeezed on the spot! When we got to Fes, we started in the new part of the city, got to take pictures outside of the palace, and then drove to see the views from the Marinid Tombs. We made an unplanned stop at a local pottery place that ended up being more interesting than I thought it would be. We got to watch the employees make and shape the clay, paint designs and lay down mosaic tile - not an easy task! My only complaint about this day is that we did not have enough time to explore the medina and enjoy more time at our beautiful hotel. I would suggest asking future travelers what time they want to get to their hotel and spending less time in the new part of the city, on lunch and on unplanned stops.

One of the highlights of our trip! We had time in the morning to sandboard on the dunes surrounding our camp until it was time to leave with our wonderful guide Ali. He showed us some fun driving through the desert sand where any road goes, then he took us to visit a nomadic community situated on the outskirts of Merzouga. We were served tea and snacks and got up close with their livestock (there was an especially friendly goat who photo-bombed us a few times!). From there we went to hear music and dance at the Gnawa House in Khamleya village. We stopped off at a smaller oasis and walked through the canals. After lunch, we had some time to rest back at camp before our surprisingly comfortable camel ride through the desert. We got to hike up some dunes to catch some epic views and watch the sunset. An amazing day!

We ate at the local restaurant on the end of the desert that seemed to be where most of the tour groups were going. There wasn't really a menu - you were served a 3 course meal with lots of bread. Portions were big (almost too big!).

The drive to Merzouga is long but incredible. You see so much change in the landscape! We drove through a town called Ifrane which is referred to as "Little Switzerland". Not only is the architecture Swiss-inspired but we were surprised to see beautiful fall foliage in November. A little bit further and we stopped to see MONKEYS (Barbary macaques) on the side of the road! As the terrain became more rocky and dry, we came upon some refreshing oases in the region of Tafilalet. We were trying to get to our camp in the desert before sunset so that we would have time to do our camel ride but we got there just a little late. Instead we took a fun 4WD drive to our desert camp and did get to watch the sunset right outside of our room.

Afterwards we started the drive towards Marrakesh and made our way through the Atlas Mountains and through more towns that had been impacted by the earthquake. Thankfully the roads were all clear. We made a stop at an argan co-op and then had lunch at a great grilled meat spot with outdoor courtyard seating. As we approached Marrakesh, Ayoub gave us a driving tour as we headed into the medina and then we were dropped off at our hotel.

This was the longest part of our journey - partially because we tried to fit in some stops that were supposed to be scheduled on our route to Merzouga on top of stops that were already planned for the day. While the drive was long, the scenery did not disappoint as we started to make our way from the sand dunes into the Atlas Mountains. Some of my favorite stops with our wonderful guide Ayoub was walking at the base of the Todra Gorge and getting views/pictures of Aït Benhaddou at sunset. Along the way, we managed to fit in stops at the fossil mining town of Erfoud, an ancient water mining site, a legitimate Berber rug shop, and a rose oil co-op. My only recommendation might be to pare down on the number of touristy spots or to give the traveler a choice on which ones to really stop and see. It was A LOT for one day!

I had an incredible 9-day experience exploring Morocco with Kimkim, guided by Saïd, Ayub, and Noorudin. Their dedication was exceptional. They went above and beyond, even getting us medicine and arranging for our forgotten luggage to be returned, with Saïd waiting until 3am. Every concern was promptly addressed, and their extensive knowledge of Morocco's history was impressive. They made us feel like part of their family, and I couldn't have asked for better guides. Highly recommended!
