Hello dear travelers,
My name is Hakim ALIBOUCHE, your local Travel Specialist in Morocco and your future “Dream Tour” designer.
My parents are originally from Midelt, one of the smallest towns in the Middle Atlas, known by the production of apple. I am living in Agadir, the city where I was born and grew up too, which is located on the Atlantic Ocean. With its large beaches, Agadir is considered as one of the main coastal cities in Morocco, especially for the Surfers.
Travelling is an art, it’s a way of life but most of all, it’s an achievement for every single traveler. My duty here is to assist you before, during & after your visit to my beautiful country. I will be very happy to share every single information about Morocco and of course help you design & tailor made your trip to make it "memorable".
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I am organizing tailor made tours around Morocco. The main activities are related to:
* History & Culture
* Trekking & Adventure
* Beach & Relaxation
* Sustainable Tourism "
How did you get involved in travel?
"Tourism was always one of the sectors that attract my attention a long time ago. As a first step, after my baccalaureate, I decided to involve my English skills and there was no better choice than applying to the English Studies department at the university where I had the chance to get a Bachelor's degree in Literature. Just by earning the diploma, I applied to a Specialized Institute where I decided to study Travel Agencies and Tourisme before I applied to the Higher Institute of Tourism in Tangier where I got my professional Bachelor's Degree in Hospitality & Tourism Marketing. Now, with over 4 years of experience in this field of Tourism, I could already say that it influenced me in both my personal and professional life."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One of the experiences I'll never forget is the 2 days trekking activity I participated in in 2018 through the High Atlas Mountain and especially on its second day where I reached the Sommet. It was such a great adventure, standing at the top of the mountain near the sky and the cloud. Additionally, the night at the gite with the locals was also remarkable in my life. I'm definitely sure that I'll do this activity twice & trice in the nearest future."

Hotel Reviews
Located within the medina was a great way to start the vacation. As a riad there are no outside windows but a great internal courtyard with fountain and garden
Great views over the blue city. Ideal watching the sun go down. This hotel is a top 168 step climb. Donot worry the porters are great
An amazing hotel just outside the media.

There is a real advantage in having someone liaise with local travel companies, riads and tour guides. Saves time and is much less stressful!! We were lucky with Mohamed as our driver. Always upbeat, cheerful and on time and ready with good local advice of things to do and see. A real pleasure to spend all that car time with Mohamed and find out more about his homeland. We had some great conversations and laughs. Mohamed made this a really special trip. Cant thank him enough for taking care of us. Our guides in Casablanca, Meknes, Fes and Marrakesh were all well informed, committed and passionate about their cities, their history and distinctive culture and craftspersons. A great learning tour and introduction to Morocco. Would love to go back and explore other areas - so much to see and experience.
Hotel Reviews
A lovely quiet riad not too far from the car dropoff point. Had the best viennoiseries for breakfast - really fresh and fluffy! Comfortable room and great bathroom. Enjoyed the rooftop and the lounging chair and table outside our room. Beautiful courtyard, airy and light. A great experience.
Location
Not too far from car drop off point and also a short straight walk to a public square.
Imperial Glory Lodges
merzouga
True glamping in the desert. Did not expect a real shower, bathtub and toilet. All with running hot and cold water. Very comfortable. Impressed with the food - catering out in the desert cant be easy and to provide such a variety of dishes for breakfast and dinner is a real feat. Food was delicious and fresh. Nice area after dinner to listen to music and look up at the desert sky. Would recommend at least two nights there. During the second day, we were booked for quad biking in the dunes and we were given the courtesy of a day room at the Nasser Palace (same ownership?), which had a lovely refreshing pool to dip and sit in till the afternoon expedition. This was a real treat. To just relax by a pool and have lunch to avoid the heat.
Riad Ksar Ighnda
Ait Benhaddou
Did not expect such a lovely riad in the middle of nowhere! It was a welcome break from the long car drive to Marrakesh from Merzouga. Great hotel. Fabulous and extensive dinner buffet - to cater for all tastes. Huge variety of entrees and desserts. Staff very courteous. Rooms roomy and well appointed. Very quiet and peaceful.
Hotel & Spa Dar Sara
Marrakech
Conveniently located, not far from the car drop off point. We had a lovely top floor room with a private outdoor balcony/rooftop space. Very comfortable and clean and cool. Thank goodness for AC!!! (it hit 40 degrees plus while were were there!) Staff were friendly and helpful. Easy to find and go to and from. Nice to sit on the ground floor in the courtyard and just chill out. Quiet and relaxing.
Activity Reviews
Enjoyed our tour immensely with local guide. The medina is such a labaryinth - you really need a local to take you through. Such a special medina. All those different sections, spices, butchers, herbalists, tanneries! Not to mention the madrassas, mosques and other historic places.

Fes to Merzouga Sunset Camel Ride and Overnight in the Desert via Ifrane, Azrou, Midelt & Erfoud

Highly recommend at least two nights in the desert. So special. Nothing like it. Had beautiful weather day of arrival and a leisurely camel walk into the sunset. The second day we experienced a sand storm - so really appreciate the landscape and the way it can change so suddenly.

Guided 4x4 Desert Adventures in Erg Chebbi
Morocco
With this tour you really appreciate the landscape and the difficulty of travelling over it. It's a bit awkward or strange to visit a Berber village - yes, a little touristy, but you do get an appreciation of the hardships of living in this harsh environment, and understand why some have chosen to live in a village instead of continuing life as a nomad.

1-Hour Quad Excursion in the Sahara Desert
Merzouga
Son and hubby loved the experience of zooming up and down the dunes on the quad bikes. They are heavy and quite stable. I'm a total wuss. So relieved when the tour guide took over for me. Got to appreciate the vastness of the desert. Goes on till through to the horizon. Quite amazing.

Morning Guided Tour in Casablanca
Morocco
This was our first introduction to Morocco. A lot to learn and absorb - especially when one doesnt have any background in Moroccan history. The Hassan II Mosque is a must see. The scale and the workmanship is outstanding. Intricate and stunningly beautiful. And one of the very few mosques in the world where non-Moslems may visit. There is a museum in the medina on the history of Casablanca - worth stopping and spending more time here.

Great massage. Feel super clean and refreshed afterwards.
Guided Tour of Volubilis

Fascinating roman ruins. Our guide was a little rushed. But you can wander and go at your own pace. It is a big site. Who knew that the largest Roman ruins in North Africa are here! Some well preserved mosaic floors. You're in the sun, with no shade. So wear a hat!

Food Tour & Local Gastronomy

Really enjoyed our local guide Hanyn. This was a "must do" tour - got to eat some real local foods and was able to recreate our steps and go back the next day to some of our favorite stalls. Loved the fresh mesmen pancakes, yoghurt drink and traditional harira soup. Lots to eat and taste. Be adventurous - snails, stews and stuffed pitas. Go with an appetite. Guide was very attentive to allergies. Lots of fun and an opportunity to try some real local food. Not just for tourists!

Guided tour of Meknes
Meknes
Lovely former royal city. Enjoyed our walk around and exploration of the medina. Our tour was on a Friday - so many shops closed - keep in mind that on Fridays one may have to adjust one's schedule to take into account noon prayers, etc. Our guide was really interesting and knowledgeable. Nice smaller city to roam around. Not so crowded!
Guides, Drivers and Staff
Guided Tour in Marrakech
Marrakesh
A great introduction to Marrakesh and its medina. Hanyn was very informative and gave us a lot of history and cultural perspective. There's lots to see - only a question of how much stamina one has to see it all! All the palaces and madrassas were so beautiful - easy to get overwhelmed by the tilework and painted ceilings. Quite spectacular.

Cooking Workshop & Local Food

First class facility and equipment. Teachers and commentary were excellent. All instructions were very clear and concise. Well thought out and presented class. Easy to follow - even for non-cooks. And of course the test is in the eating! Ha ha, you get to eat what you cook - lots of food. Beautifully arranged and a smooth operation. I cant wait to try cooking with a tagine at home!

A truly luxurious experience in a lovely hammam and spa. A real exfoliation scrub - you feel so much cleaner afterwards. A great way to end our trip in Morocco. This is a 5 star treatment. The staff are wonderful and you really feel pampered and taken care of. Even my hubby and son enjoyed it!!

We had a wonderful stay! Our room was wonderful. But of particular note was the Manager Marcos who was truly fabulous and very helpful. Dinner services was also incredible!
Palais Zahia
Old Medina, Tangier
Our stay at the hotel in Tangier was great. Even though it wasn’t a luxury spot, it was very comfortable for a one-night stay. The hotel was small but cozy, and the service was excellent. The breakfast buffet was the best of our trip.
Imperial Glory Lodges
merzouga
The night in the desert at Imperial Glory Lodges was a great experience. The tent was comfortable and it was a nice touch to have dinner included. There was a slight issue with the hot water, but for a one-night stay, it was manageable.
Paradise of Silence
Ait Ben Haddou
Paradise of Silence was ironically not too silent due to dogs barking throughout the night. The hot water was the most inconsistent here, cutting off mid-shower. Despite these issues, the location and facilities were good.

The Dar Yasmine itself was very nice, but the proximity to the mosque was an issue for us. As non-Muslims, the calls to worship at 2 AM and 4 AM were too loud and disrupted our sleep.
Auberge Le Festival Todra Gorge
Aït Baha
Our stay at Auberge Le Festival Todra Gorge was a pleasant experience, although it was unexpectedly chilly due to the lack of heating. The place was very new and not traditional, but it was a unique experience aside from the cold.
Dar Al Madina Al Kadima
Fès
At Dar Al Madina Al Kadima, we seemed to be the only guests, and twice we found ourselves unable to exit because the door was locked. Once in the evening, around 6:30 PM, when heading out for dinner, and another on our day of departure. While it didn't affect us much, it could have been serious in case of an emergency.

As previously stated, Hakim who organized the tour was also a star. If we had a question or issue, he was super responsive and helpful. His Riad selections were top-notched both in terms of the accommodations and staff. His, was a near perfect execution. My hedge here is due only to the fact that one Riad was a little bit below our standards. The others were exceptional. I would also like to spot light Saraa, our guide in Rabat, and Henyn, our Marrakech guide. Both were knowledgeable, informative and engaging. Saraa had an amazing wit that was equally as entertaining as her color commentary. Henyn was just smart. Kudos to KimKim on the quality of the team they’ve put together. Highly recommended!

Muhammad, our driver was an excellent companion and made sure our comfort and needs were always met. He went above and beyond for us with our luggage issues at the airport. Amine was also an excellent guide and quickly identified our interests and was very helpful.

The hotels we stayed in were all very interesting and charming and uniquely different. I loved the desert experience! Our hosts there were wonderful as well. I would have liked more drinkable water available in our tents and alcoholic beverages on site in our area. The camel experience was amazing! The horseback ride into the dunes with my daughter was an experience from our dreams! I would caution however, that it probably is not a trip for people with limited riding experience. A mounting block at the start and dismount areas would be very helpful and safer for the horses and humans. Our guide was very sweet and attentive even though he did not speak much English.
The brunch at the hotel/horse stable was also an amazing experience! Beautiful place, everyone was very welcoming the food was superb! The horses beautiful!
A wonderful trip that ranks very high on my list of favorite experiences!

We really didn’t participate in the planing of the trip but Jerry kept us in the loop and we provided some suggestions. Our personal guide Mohamad was wonderful He went above and beyond to make sure we were well cared for. All of our local guides were wonderful with the exception of Ali, my guide for the waterfall. I sent the review of that apparently to the group chat and pasted it to the review link as well. If you did not receive that, please let me know

Food Tour & Local Gastronomy

Our guide was clearly excited about sharing this adventure with us and made it fun and very interesting. That main main market in Marrakesh is a wonder to behold as it evolves over the course of the day from a busy area with everything from snake charmers to wedding shopping venues, to a loud, boisterous, fun filled place with something for everyone to enjoy.
