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."

**A Life-Changing Journey Through Morocco — Thanks to Our Incredible Driver, Oussama**

We just returned from a two-week journey across Morocco — starting in Marrakesh, traveling over 2,300 miles through cities, deserts, mountains, and coastlines, and ending in Casablanca. It was a truly life-changing experience.

Each day brought something new: the rich history of each town, vibrant markets, stunning architecture, and the diverse natural beauty of the country. We were constantly in awe — from Morocco’s self-sustaining agricultural systems to the deep pride and resilience of its people. And while the sites and guides were excellent, the heart of our experience — the person who brought it all together — was our private driver, **Oussama**.

**Oussama Made Our Trip Unforgettable**

For 14 days, Oussama was more than just a driver — he was our guide, translator, cultural ambassador, and, by the end, a friend. Always punctual, calm, and professional, he made every moment of our journey feel smooth and stress-free. His car was impeccably clean and comfortable, and his confident, careful driving helped us relax — even on winding mountain roads.

Oussama speaks flawless English (as well as several other languages), making communication seamless. His warm personality and great sense of humor made even the longest drives enjoyable and fun.

But what really set him apart was how deeply he cared about making our experience perfect. He took time to understand our priorities and thoughtfully enhanced them — suggesting meaningful additions, coordinating with local guides, and ensuring every transition was effortless. He took my "must-see/must-do" list, which included an illusive taste of camel's milk, and checked off each request throughout the trip. He worked behind the scenes — calling ahead to hotels so bellmen would be waiting, or helping us get fair prices in the markets — always with quiet grace and without drawing attention to himself.

As a proud member of the Berber community, Oussama brought Morocco’s culture and history to life in a deeply personal way. His stories, insights, and perspectives enriched our understanding far beyond what we could have read or heard elsewhere.

One of the most touching moments came after our trip had ended and we had just landed in the USA — Oussama checked in one last time to make sure we arrived home safely. That small act of kindness perfectly captures who he is: thoughtful, reliable, and genuinely invested in the people he serves.

**If You’re Traveling to Morocco — Book Oussama**

If you're planning a trip to Morocco and want more than just a driver — if you want someone who will elevate your experience, care deeply about your journey, and treat you like family — **Oussama is the one**. We recommend him wholeheartedly.

**A Perfect Stay at Le Pelerin – Unforgettable Experience!** Our stay at **Le Pelerin** in Marrakech was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality that set the tone for an unforgettable visit. The riad is **eloquently decorated**, blending traditional Moroccan charm with tasteful modern touches. Every corner felt thoughtfully curated, and the ambiance was both tranquil and inspiring. The rooms were **immaculately clean**, fresh, and beautifully designed, providing the perfect retreat after exploring the vibrant streets of Marrakech. What truly elevated our experience, however, was the **outstanding staff**. Special thanks to **Rachida**, the incredibly talented chef whose breakfasts and dinners were **the best we had in Marrakech**—rich in flavor, authentic, and beautifully presented. Each meal felt like a celebration of Moroccan cuisine. We were also deeply impressed by **Abdelkarim (Obdel?), Ismail, and Rachid**, (I apologize about the spellings of names) who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Their courteous and attentive service made us feel truly cared for. One of the highlights of our trip was a **private cooking class** arranged through the riad—something I had hoped to experience, and the staff accommodated this request seamlessly and with enthusiasm. It's rare to find a place that is run so perfectly, where every detail is managed with care and professionalism. I simply can't say enough good things about Le Pelerin. If you're looking for a serene, authentic, and luxurious stay in Marrakech, **this is the place**. We will absolutely return!

Ksar El Kabbaba
Skoura

**An Enchanting Experience at Ksar El Kabbaba – Hospitality and Heart in Every Detail** Our stay at **Ksar El Kabbaba** was a truly unforgettable experience, filled with authenticity, warmth, and extraordinary hospitality. Nestled near the heart of an oasis, this beautiful property combines the magic of Moroccan architecture with the serenity of its natural surroundings. We were incredibly fortunate to have **Badr** as our guide during our visit. His tour of the oasis and the nearby village was nothing short of fascinating. He shared in-depth knowledge about how the oasis is managed—from how water is shared and land is divided, to how local disputes are resolved. His passion for **organic farming** and educating the local community about sustainable practices and the value of their land was inspiring. One of the highlights of the tour was a visit to a local **potter**, where we witnessed the entire process—from gathering soil and making clay to crafting, firing, and transporting the finished pottery to market. It was a rare, immersive glimpse into local artisan life. At the Ksar itself, **Ibrahim**, the waiter who looked after us during every meal, deserves special recognition. His service was **impeccable**—he anticipated our every need and treated us with such grace and care that we truly felt like royalty. Ibrahim’s warmth and professionalism left a lasting impression. Another standout was **Lahsan**, the young man who welcomed us with a detailed and heartfelt tour of the Ksar. His pride in the history and beauty of the property was evident, and his introduction set the tone for the rest of our incredible stay. Ksar El Kabbaba is more than just a place to stay—**it’s an experience** that connects you with the land, the people, and the traditions of Morocco. We left feeling deeply enriched and grateful. Highly recommended for travelers seeking meaningful, luxurious, and culturally rich experiences.

Tiziri Luxury Camp
Merzouga

**The Coolest Place We Stayed – A Desert Dream Come True** If you're looking for an experience that blends **luxury, authenticity, and heart**, this desert camp is it. From start to finish, it was truly magical—**unlike anything we've done before**. The journey begins at a hotel staging area with a refreshing swimming pool—perfect for a quick dip if it’s too hot for the camels to head to camp. But once the sun dips just enough, you’ll mount your camel and begin the most **mesmerizing trek** through golden dunes. Halfway to the camp, we paused to watch the **sunset melt into the sand**, a moment of absolute stillness and beauty. From there, you can choose a 4x4 ride or keep going by camel—**we highly recommend the camel ride all the way**. It’s slow, rhythmic, and allows you to truly absorb the silence and majesty of the Sahara. Upon arrival at the camp, we were met with **appetizers and warm smiles**—regardless of the time of arrival. The vibe was laid-back and welcoming, like stepping into a time warp of sorts. It reminded me of the **peaceful, love-filled spirit of the 1960s**—where time slows down, no one's in a rush, and the only schedule that matters is your own. That said, everything still ran smoothly—meals were served when everyone was ready, and **what meals they were!** **Fatima**, the camp chef, deserves a standing ovation. Her dishes were **scrumptious, heartfelt, and clearly made with care**. Every bite felt like a celebration of Moroccan flavors. The **watchmen of the camp** were equally remarkable—multi-talented, gracious, and always in motion. From carrying luggage to serving meals, sweeping sand from the rugs, and offering **joyful Berber music under the stars**, they created a seamless and unforgettable experience. Huge thanks and kudos to **Lahcen (Hossan), Ibrahim, Hamid, and of course, Fatima** the chef. There were others whose names we didn’t catch, but they were equally wonderful. And don’t forget to **order a bottle of Moroccan wine** with dinner—it’s surprisingly good and the perfect accompaniment to a meal under the stars. This wasn’t just a place to sleep—it was **a vibe, a feeling, a memory** we’ll always hold close. A peaceful, easy feeling that captures the true heart of Morocco.

Fantastic Culinary Experience at La Maison Arabe Our time at La Maison Arabe Cooking School was one of the most enjoyable and enriching parts of our stay in Marrakech. The class was extremely well organized, striking the perfect balance between instruction and hands-on experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was thoughtfully prepared. The chefs and instructors were professional, friendly, and made the whole process easy to follow, even for those with little kitchen experience. We appreciated how the class walked us through traditional Moroccan recipes step by step, and gave us plenty of time to ask questions and really get involved. The best part? It wasn’t just a demo—we each had our own workstation and were fully hands-on, making everything from scratch. At the end of the class, we sat down to enjoy our meal together, and it was absolutely delicious. They also provided printed recipes to take home, which was a wonderful touch and will allow us to recreate the magic back in our own kitchens. If you're interested in Moroccan cuisine, La Maison Arabe’s cooking school is a must-do. A fun, flavorful, and beautifully run experience!

A Truly Wonderful Potter – Talented, Kind, and Joyful Meeting this potter was an absolute highlight! He is genuinely one of the nicest, happiest, and most talented artisans we’ve encountered. With great patience and kindness, he showed us the entire process—from gathering the soil, breaking it down, making the clay, to helping me throw a pot myself. It was such a hands-on and memorable experience. He didn’t stop there—he went on to explain and demonstrate how he fires his works, sharing his craft with such passion and gentleness. What struck me most was his humble, gentle nature combined with true artistry. If you get the chance, don’t miss visiting this amazing potter. His warmth and talent truly bring Moroccan craftsmanship to life.

Dear Original Travels,

My wife and I travel quite a bit. Engaging Kimkim tours, sight unseen was a calculated risk at first. By the end of our Morocco adventures of 14 days, we felt blessed at the choice. Everything, just everything ran smoothly; our driver Reda was just superb & the accommodation provided was just excellent. There were some long days of driving but Reda did his utmost to break the journey with incredible stops and viewpoints, some of which were hidden from view. Reda's knowledge and incredible ability to ensure that nothing was a problem, just left us speechless. I could really get used to that attention to detail, at home. Shame we can't take him and his family back with us.

Brenda and I are experienced international travelers and now as retirees we made this 1st time decision to use a travel agency service with an assigned driver and the trip planned for us. The 7 days in Northern Morocco were rewarding, well planned, informative and flexible as we went through the 7 days. Our driver, Soufian Belkach, was excellent. He was patient, courteous, professional in every way, safe as a driver, providing warnings about where not to venture on our own in the evening hours, and willing to chat with us about life in Morocco. This helped us to understand Moroccan Culture. The guides were well trained and educated us, taking time to personalize our tours. It will take time for us to process all we saw and experienced. The places we slept were clean, attractive, and well serviced. The amazing Riad in Fez is a stunning environment. I should be on the tour itself as a place to go for a meal and simply view its beauty and charm. The mattress and pillows were not comfortable which takes away from the amazing environment. The other facilities where we slept were very comfortable. We appreciate the flexibility in adjusting daily as needed and we credit Soufian with that as he would advise and then communicate with others to ensure we continued to enjoy the 7 days. A tip, it is a good idea to sit down with the guide prior to the tour to discuss what we want to see and do and our limitations as well. Guides cannot read our minds.

This hotel is an authentic Moroccan riad. It is so beautiful and elaborate. It is like walking through an art gallery. Every time we walk through, we find something to admire. It is a work of art! It is a marvel.

This is more of an authentic Moroccan riad that we read and hear about. This is it! It is a must see. We were so glad to have stayed there.

It is close to the medina and walkable to many restaurants and sights to see.

Cleanliness & Comfort
The place is very clean and lovely however our bed and bedding were not that comfortable. The sofa in the room was also not very comfortable. The bed and sofa were hard, the blanket very heavy for warmer weather. We were unsure if that is a typical Riad? The water pressure in the shower was weak. Other than that, breakfast was a "feast" too much for just two people. They went out of their way to serve me gluten free bread which is most appreciated.

It is not our driver's fault. Our flight was delayed so by the time we arrived, it was very late and during rush hour in Casablanca. The traffic was terrible and we were exhausted too so our driver agreed to drop us off at the hotel Barcelo in Casablanca. To be honest, we were not so impressed with the city- so much traffic and the area the hotel was in was not that nice. That was our first impression of Casablanca, sad but true. However on our return trip back to Casablanca from Fes, Soufain showed us the Mosque and the beach/waterside. It was a lovely part of town. We enjoyed seeing that and the lovely homes in the area. As we arrived late, we missed being able to go on a guided tour of the Mosque and to visit other places like the Rex cafe which is not a must. By the 7th day, we were a bit tired of touring, I must admit. Soufain understood and respected our decision.

The guide was very patient and wonderful. He showed us the Jewish quarter, the Jewish cemetery and many other places. The tour was a bit long and he kept wanting to show us more and more places. By then, we were tired and hungry. I asked for a tea break. He said one more place then a tea break but it went on and on. By that time, we have been touring for almost 8 hours which was too much for us. We should have been firm and say, that is fine, that is enough. But we did ask to be shown where I can purchase argan oil and oud oil. We saw so many cool things that we do appreciate the time given us. It was just too long.

We saw a tannery, how they dye clothes and leather, and many artisanal craftsman workshops like coppersmith, sewing, weaving, fish market, etc, etc. So many places that we lost count of what we have seen.

I wish the guide would respect when we state that we need to stop and take a tea break. I noticed the guide asked someone to bring him a sandwich so he can eat while continuing to guide us, huh?! What about us. sigh... But actually he was a very knowledgeable and wonderful guide. We just need to be more clear what we wish to do as we expect to have dinner with a Moroccan family that night.
Transport
Soufain was there when it was time for us to leave. The guide kept telling him to go to different places. Finally we said, no, we will get off here and walk to our Riad after going for our tea break much later around 5 pm!!
Guided Tour of Tangier
Guided Tour of Tangier
Morocco

Our guide was very knowledgeable and showed us the medina, artisan crafts and bazaars of Tangier as well as the Jewish quarter and synagogues etc. Shared a lot of fascinating history. We never discussed our needs prior to this guided tour, our guide was young and energetic. Since Len has to interpret what the guide said in sign language for me, it takes time for one language to another so by the time, our guide has already left for the next place- not enough time for me to ask questions. This tour has a lot of steps too. It was harder for me with a bad knee to keep up with the guide. So we feel a bit rushed and trying to keep up. We realize it was on us to clarify what we need- a slower pace even if it means missing some places to show us, which is fine. We learned so much already.

Quality of Experience
We loved seeing the famous Baba restaurant, the Jewish synagogues, the Roman tombs carved in the rocks, the medina and artisan crafts.
Guides, Drivers and Staff
The guide seem he needs to follow his timetable to show us everything he wants us to see rather than follow our pace.
Transport
Soufain was there. We can depend on him to be where he is to pick us up.
Private Transfer from Fes to Casablanca via Rabat
Private Transfer from Fes to Casablanca via Rabat
Morocco

We enjoyed visiting Rabat on our way from Casablanca to Tangier. we went with a local guide in the medina at Rabat. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and we enjoyed the tour. We ended with a lovely tea break at the tearoom there. It was about an hour break for us which we appreciate. On the way back, it was a long ride- 4 hours so we asked to stop at Rabat again. This time without a guide. We wandered a bit then had a tea break again. It was 30 minutes this time.

Quality of Experience
Guides, Drivers and Staff
Our guide at Rabat was knowledgeable and when we said we only have an hour, kept it short and led us to the tearoom which is nice.

Soufian agreed to give us a break at Rabat. His flexibilty is appreciated.
Guided tour of Hassan II Mosque
Guided tour of Hassan II Mosque
Morocco

We arrived at 3:39 pm due to heavy traffic. We were able to see the beautiful waterfront and the Mosque but it was closed and the next tour was at 5 pm. We did not want to wait until then so we opted to just walk around but we cannot walk around the Mosque either. I was rather disappointed because I was hoping to be able to walk around and tour the Mosque but honestly by the 7th day, Len and I were a bit pooped from all the traveling and touring all week. We enjoyed seeing the sea and the lovely homes in the area.

Quality of Experience
Guides, Drivers and Staff
The guard was very strict about not allowing us to walk around.

Soufian navigating the horrible traffic in Casablanca!!
Guided Exploration of the "Blue City" Chefchaouen
Guided Exploration of the "Blue City" Chefchaouen
Chefchaouen

This is by far the best experience we had on this tour. Our guide was very patient and knowledgeable. We learned so much on this tour about the town and its customs such as painting the houses and steps blue every Spring as a rite. We get to see young girls doing that. There were many steps but because of the slower pace, we were able to keep up. At one point we asked to sit at a cafe for tea and pastries. We also met two young Deaf men who I was able to chat and learn more about Deaf education in Morocco. Our guide knew a bakery that sells gluten free cookies so I was able to enjoy the pastries, which is a plus. We are so in love with this blue and white town. The people we encounter were very friendly, the artisans and natives. The riad we stayed at was beautiful and the view exceptional. The air was pure and clean. Love it.

Quality of Experience
The environment with the mountain peaks, the blue and white colors of the town, teatime and meeting the Deaf natives there as well as the wonderful and patient guide.
Guides, Drivers and Staff
They were very friendly and helpful.

Soufain drove all the way down the mountain as close to the Riad as possible.

Hi kimkim,

First of all, my friend and traveling companion—Deb—and myself have never seen ourselves as tour people.

But since kimkim isn't your usual tour company, we discovered that we loved being able to work with someone to plan and execute a trip to such an exotic destination as Morocco.

And then once we arrived, having the luxury of a private driver who became our traveling buddy (and guide in his own right), along with guides who illuminated specific sites.

In addition to the amazing country itself, we must also give enormous credit to Llyace for making our journey through Morocco enjoyable and memorable.

Travel always comes with both pleasures and inconveniences, large and small. But with Llyace as our travel companion, he helped maximize the former and minimize the later.

He made us feel welcomed to his country because he saw his role as more than merely our driver, he was our amiable escort through every city we visited.

His professionalism resulted in confident driving, punctuality, hospitality and a desire to see to our every need. Even when those needs included quickly finding a pharmacy in the middle of the Moroccan countryside to help us concur a health aliment.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that we quickly gained the confidence that no matter what we wanted, needed or didn’t even know we desired he would deliver with warmth and good humor.

His personable attitude helped us feel welcomed and never alone no matter where we ventured in the exotic land of Morocco.

Our hope now is that not only are we are blessed enough to have companions like him on the future adventures we hope to take with kimkim—but that others are too.

With sincere appreciation,
Myles

The desert was a good experience, should’ve skipped Fed and stayed extra day in Sahara. Fes - interesting city with very cool sights. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Unfortunately, we received the standard “tourist treatment” with most of the tour spent in the hustles of getting us to buy things after a short tour (tannery, tile) or explanation (carpet, cloth) shops. While interesting, it was all a preface to the hustle. I would have preferred hearing about architecture, history, culture, etc. IMO, paid guides should warn you it’s a hustle, not offer you up to them. That had been my beef with previous tours and I’d hoped that this one would be different. Alas, it was not.
Casablanca was not worth the time. Saw the mosque and that was it. Basically we had 1 day in tourist hustle and 1 with nothing to do. Overall a good trip but would make different choices and be more vocal about my desire for non-hustle options.

We’re also happy that you enjoyed Marrakech and had such a great experience with Hannan, 11/10 is high praise, and we’ll be sure to pass it along to her!

We truly appreciate your honest feedback regarding the guided portion in Fes and the time in Casablanca. We understand and take seriously your concerns about the “tourist treatment” and the emphasis on shopping stops rather than deeper cultural and historical context. This is certainly not the standard we aim to uphold, and we apologize that this part of the trip did not meet your expectations.

Please know that we will be following up directly with our partners and guides in Fes to ensure they are more mindful of balancing educational content with any artisan visits, and most importantly, that our travelers are never made to feel pressured or misled. Your comments will help us reinforce this message and make meaningful improvements for future guests.

Thank you again for traveling with us and for sharing your insights. We’re always here to tailor experiences that align with your travel style and preferences, and we’d be honored to assist with any future adventures.

The quality of hotels was excellent and provided a genuine sense of the Moroccan culture.

Reda was incredibly sensitive to our comfort and drove with care and attention to our needs.

Overall, we found the people of Morocco to be culturally sensitive, historically informed, and curious about our own experiences.

Our vegan diet was accommodated quite well, and we were pleasantly surprised by the vegan options available throughout the country.

Dar Jasmine
Chefchaouen

I would recommend that Original Travel be clearer up front about the 150-step hike to the hotel. Reda did ask, but only when we were en route to the property. I understand that alternate arrangements would have been made if needed (fortunately, it wasn't) but that's something clients might want to consider well in advance of the drive. Once there, though, the property was lovely and the meals there exceptional. We did request a room change since the one assigned to us was essentially windowless.
