Ali Moujane

I was born and raised in a small village situated in the heart of the Atlas Mountains, and was fortunate enough to be raised in a family with a deep-rooted passion for travel. Since 2015, I have been actively involved in the tourism sector, which has broadened my horizons and enriched my knowledge base. Through my extensive travels, I have had the privilege of exploring various breathtaking destinations within Morocco.

As a travel enthusiast, my fervor lies in facilitating transformative experiences for our guests by introducing them to the diverse cultural landscape and hidden gems of my country. I derive immense gratification from sharing the unparalleled beauty of Morocco with our guests and observing the positive impact it has on their outlook and perception. It is my privilege to help them unravel new adventures, unravel the charm of untapped places, and immerse themselves in novel cultural encounters.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"We organize tours in the Atlas Mountains, Deserts, coastal areas, and Imperial cities.

The activities we are specialized in are the following: Mountain biking, Family Vacations, Local life, custom-made trips, and cultural tours.
"

How did you get involved in travel?

"My passion for travel started at an early age, especially when I went on my first trip with my familly to explore new places in the High Atlas Mountains, new people, and new adventures. Since then, traveling becomes a sort of inspiration to me and fills me with a sense of enthusiasm to gain essential knowledge about this field. Traveling, for me, is like meditation; it makes my mind relaxed and motivates me to learn and discover new things. Looking at huge mountains, diving into gorgeous sceneries, enjoying glorious food give me a pleasure that is incomparable to any other joy."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"The most unforgettable experience I have ever had was climbing the highest peak in North Africa "Mount Toubkal" (4167m).

I was 18 years old when I had such an incredible experience climbing this gorgeous summit with the help of our mountain guide, my brother, who kept encouraging me to keep going until we reached the peak. The hike to the top was very tough but it was so worth it when we got there, observing the beauty of the snow-capped mountain, and enjoying beautiful landscapes. That adventure motivated me to take other trips and discover other places that are worth visiting in Morocco."

Our trip was then turned over to Said, and he was easy to work with, and responded promptly when we reached out to him before and during the trip. In one city our tour guide didn’t show at our hotel. We contacted Said and he was going to quickly have a replacement, but we didn’t want to wait. He compensated by arranging for a guide on a different day, at a different site.

We were happy with the accommodations they booked for us through Original Travel. We were treated extremely well by everyone at all 6 locations.

The best decision we made was to travel by private car and driver. Our driver/guide was Mustapha and he was GREAT!
Mustapha was professional, friendly, and very accommodating. He did all the driving, handled all the luggage, and knew all the best places to stop for food, photos, shopping, and clean bathrooms. We felt very comfortable and safe with him. He provided a lot of information about the cities, the country, and its history. The trip would not have been the same with out him.

Hotel Dar Mounir
Chefchaouen

The hotel is well located. The breakfast is OK. We did run into a small problem of our own making, and the young man and woman at the front desk went well out of their way to help us. They could not have been any nicer as they spent an hour of their time helping us. We were so grateful! Cars can not pull up to the hotel, and so the hotel sent an employee out to help us with our luggage. All of the hotel staff treated us very well.

The driver who took us out for the day, Ramadan, spoke a little English, and he took great care of us, and brought us to a great restaurant for lunch.

I just concluded a 10-day trip in Morocco, the itinerary and actvities were organized by Ali and then supported by Said. Overall I had an awesome experience as we traveled from Marrakech to the Merzouga desert areas followed by visits to Fes, Tangier, Rabat and eventually, Casablanca. Each place had their own distinct character and culture. Our local guides were fanstastic and I learnt a lot about the Moroccan history and they ways of life. I do have to mention the delicious Tangia and Tagine preparations; the likes of which I have never experienced before. A special mention about our driver, Rachid. I travel a lot and have worked with many travel tour operators, guides and drivers. Rachid is exceptional at what he does. Not only he is a great and more importantly, a safe driver, he went above and beyond his job and took care of every requirement of ours. I have to mention an incident where our vehicle suffered damage on account of flooded road conditions on our way to Merzouga desert. It was past sunset and all of us were worried about getting stranded in the middle of nowhere. Rachid organized the locals to get a hold of a mechanic and with the help of ordinary citizens managed to get our vehicle to a driveable condition. What was the most important aspect of this episode was the calmness and control that Rachid demonstrated. I did not see him getting flustered or in panic; he calmly went about the process of getting the vehicle restored. I and all others in my group were really impressed by this.

We always felt very safe and taken care of. Our guide in Fez (Sharif) was also great - took us to see all the major highlights and just gave us an over-all fun experience.

A couple of very minor things - when we stayed in the oasis overnight, the guide there could have been a little bit better. It sounds like it's still a developing travel destination, but it would be super helpful to have a guide who spoke better English. There was a bit of a communication/understanding barrier, but again, just a small nit pick.

Food tour of Marrakech was definitely one of the highlights - would highly recommend it as part of any itinerary.

Thank you Ali, Said and the whole Kimkim team and guides for an unforgettable experience.

Three stars: Riad Pachavana in Marrakech; nice accommodations, but seemed a bit “tired”. Clean and sanitary. Friendly, efficient employees. There was another riad in the restaurant where we dined, Maison Arabe, which seemed much more elegant, but probably more expensive. We wouldn’t discourage a stay at Riad Pachavana, but it’s not a five star place (nor was it advertised as such).
We were favourably impressed with Morocco, it’s people, places and receptiveness to tourists - reserved, but helpful. I would return. ,

He and our other tour guides, Souhel for a walking food tour in Marrakesh and Hamman who showed us the Bahai Palace and the home of Yves St. Laurent all spoke very good English and explained everything very well. They answered any questions that we had about history, culture, or the sight, so that we felt that we understood so much more about Morocco than we would have if we had not had their assistance. They gave us advice about bargaining in the marketplace and about safety information.

He is an incredibly reliable and punctual driver. He arrived on time, and ensures that the car was in immaculate condition. We have witnessed his driving skills with ease, whether it’s heavy traffic or challenging weather conditions & consistently prioritizes the safety.
He is an excellent driver with knowledge of all the attractions and shopping places with authentic items at reasonable price. If you plan to visit Morocco, we highly recommend to engage with him as your driver/guide for an amazing experience to remember for lifetime….
Overall it was a great trip!

Our guides were amazing throughout our trip, there were a few things that we were expecting that weren’t provided. However that didn’t stop us from having an incredible trip. Our driver Ilyace took great care of our family and really helped make our trip enjoyable

Our recent trip to Morocco, planned by Original Travel, was nothing short of extraordinary. From the meticulously crafted itinerary to the exceptional team, every detail was thoughtfully arranged to ensure a memorable experience.

A special thanks to Said and the entire Original Travel team for designing such a comprehensive itinerary that allowed us to immerse ourselves in Morocco's rich culture and history.

Our driver, Abdeljalil Saadan, was outstanding. Not only did he ensure our safety and comfort throughout the journey, but he also enriched our travels with fun stories and insights about the regions we explored. He also taught us some Arabic.

We were fortunate to have knowledgeable guides in each city:

- Omar in Chefchaouen - thanks for amazing views around the town
- Sharif in Fez - we would have never discovered all these secret passages in the market
- Younes in Tangier - thank you for the awesome tour and cookies

Each guide enhanced our understanding of these cities' unique histories and cultures, making our visits truly enlightening.

The accommodations at the ryads arranged by Original Travel were exceptional, offering comfort and a genuine Moroccan ambiance. The highlight was a special New Year's Eve celebration, which was a delightful and memorable experience.

We wholeheartedly recommend Original Travel to anyone seeking an authentic and well-organized Moroccan adventure. Their attention to detail and commitment to client satisfaction are truly amazing.

Thank you!
