Hamza EL Asely

My name is Hamza, your personal travel expert and my passion is to create your dream holiday in Morocco.

To say it simply, I am passionate about travel. I have always been a very curious person and being surrounded by family members who work in the travel industry for many years, allowed me the opportunity to become a travel designer.

I believe that travel is far more than an opportunity to relax and recharge. It is the opportunity to experience cultures, beliefs, customs, and ideas that are different from our own. It provides an opportunity for understanding, learning, adventure and inspiration.

From the moment you leave the house to your safe return. I want your holiday, your honeymoon or adventure hike, to be as special as it can be.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"- Atlas Mountains
- Sahara Desert
- Imperial Cities
- Northern Morocco

I specialise in: Outdoor hiking, Cultural Tours, Community Projects, Outdoor Adventures, Local life, Custom-Made trips."

How did you get involved in travel?

"My passion for travel started a few years ago when l and went on road-trips with my brother Abdel, who is an experienced Tour guide and a Kimkim specialist.

I have accompanied Abdel on many treks and tours throughout the country which helped me gain an extensive knowledge of my country, its history and also its hidden gems which i am glad to share with my guests so they can enjoy a trip of lifetime in my beloved home country.

When I am not researching a trip for a guest, i am happily exploring a new places and experiences for myself and my friends – So many more places to visit and things to do!"

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"My favourite destination in Morocco is the Sahara desert, where the beauty of the people and landscapes is unsurpassed.

The colours change according to the sun position, so you never get tired to look around the cliffs, the sand dunes, caves, a rare tent in afar, some camels and endless sand dunes. A magnificent wilderness which made my heart fell in love with the place forever. "

Hamza and Said were very helpful and quick to respond both before and during our trip across Morocco. We reached out to Kimkim at the last minute to plan a trip and they did a wonderful job.

Ayoub was our guide/driver for the full trip and he was everything we could have hoped for. His positive attitude always added to the day. Ayoub helped us see unique sights along the journey and even made our long travel days engaging and interesting. It was genuinely wonderful to have everything scheduled and outlined for us. We felt like we could turn our planning brains off and just enjoy the sights and culture of the regions.

Our city guides, Sharif in Fes and Sellam in Marrakesh, were knowledgeable of the history and showed us around to many of the local hot spots. It was great having an official guide for half day tours.

We had a great time and thank everyone involved in the trip!

I travelled to Morocco with my 2 kids, ages 11 and 14, from April 12-20, 2025. We have an amazing, magical time!
The trip was planned perfectly- we have a good mix of sights, learning crafts, visiting women's cooperatives and relaxing. Our driver, Oussama, took care of us the entire time. I didn't have to worry about the timings, how to get places because he was on top of it. This let me enjoy the trip with my kids instead of stressing over timetables and calling guides.
One day, my daughter was pretty sick on our way to the Sahara dessert where we were to stay the night. Oussama elected to stay in a tent, in the dessert also, in case my daughter got worse and needed help.
Our guides were also fabulous. Sharef, in Fes, was patient and full of knowledge. We were passing a veterinary clinic set up for the working animals in Fes. I asked to stop by there. He said sure and we spent an hour there learning about their mission and learned the head vet went to the same school I did!
A cooking class was set up for us in someone's home- this was my son's favorite experience.
The hotels we stayed in were perfect.
I would definitely contact KimKim again to help me book another trip as we had local guides, met locals, were invited into their homes and were taken care of.

I am the 11 year old. The things I loved were when sharef took us to the medina in fes, he let us go into any place we wanted to. Also he took us to the best restaurants, an even took us to a place where they show you carpets. I also loved the old city in fes because all of the houses were beautiful. Also our amazing driver Oussama he took us everywhere and he took us to get lunch at places everywhere. Also he is one of the nicest drivers I have ever met. Thank you everyone.

From the time the four of us were picked up in Casablanca and dropped off at the airport in Marrakech 12 days later, our trip was absolutely amazing in all ways. I had found KimKim online and after reading the reviews decided to go with them. Hamza put together an itinerary taking into account our interests and limitations. He patiently answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns. Then he handed me off to our local contact Said who stayed in touch during our entire trip. In Fez there was a problem with the plumbing in the Riad we were to stay in and I had to call Said and ask him to take care of the problem. It was quite late in the day but Said managed to find us another hotel right away, which was quite difficult because of it being hiigh season for tourists. He too was patient and accommodating throughout the trip.
Sameer, our driver/guide was the best. He was polite, informative, helpful and extremely focused on our safety and comfort and on making sure we had the best possible time. On top of all of this, he is a very safe driver.
In Fez, our guide Sameer was again very well informed and took us on a throughly enjoyable jaunt through the old Medina. In Marrakesh Hanna spent a large part of the day of the day with us again on a walking tour of the old Medina. She is a young woman full of knowledge and a passion for all things Moroccan.
All in all we were highly satisfied with the entire process from planning to completion. Morocco is a country full of beauty, history and culture with amazing and friendly people. We are so happy to have been a part of that with the help of KimKim.

A very pretty place with very friendly staff, clean rooms. The camp dog, Maisy, is the sweetest dog ever and totally stole the show. The rooms/tents are very very basic. For example you could not lock the door from the outside. That took a bit of getting used too. The food was adequate. Maybe it was because the chef was out for three days so two of the workers were pitching in. The visit to the nomads and the fossil areas was fun, as was the African music performance and the pizza after.

He was so patient and informative and took care of us like we were royalty! He took advantage of every opportunity to teach us something about his beautiful country and the people who live there. We did everything we wanted and more thanks to his suggestions, saw the most beautiful sights, at the most amazing food, and had so many unforgettable experiences. All of the individual local guides were also great- in particular Sharif in Fez was a standout.
We really felt like we got a good feel for Morocco as a country and as a culture and never had to stress ,want, or worry for anything. The biggest highlight turned out to be our last night where Reda invited us to share a meal with his family. When we told him we wanted to sit down and have a meal with a local family ( listed as one of the options for the trip) he insisted that we dine with his. His wonderful wife and daughter invited us into their home and we enjoyed the most delicious meal of our whole trip while playing with his beautiful daughter and sharing stories about our lives and individual cultures.

The Half-Day Guided Tour of Marrakech was mostly enjoyable as we got to explore the souks and major gates of the city, which were quite walkable. However, our guide, while nice, seemed to have a preference for taking us to pricier places, which wasn't ideal.

Our trip was spectacular, but what made it especially so, were the fine people we had the pleasure of being with in Morocco. So it will be them that I speak about.

Our right hand man, Soufian was an exceptional driver, tour guide, problem solver, and friend. He was personable, attentive, knowledgeable, and always punctual. When unexpected issues arose in our travel plans (beyond his control), he handled them with grace and efficiency. On the rare occasions when someone else had to take over driving, we found ourselves missing Soufian’s lighthearted and playful banter. By the middle of our week-long trip, he felt more like a member of the family than a hired guide. The Moroccan people, in general, impressed us with their genuine warmth, friendliness, and quick smiles, but Soufian truly embodied these qualities in the best way possible. Our time with him felt far too short, and we’ll cherish the memories we created together.

Additionally Sharif was an outstanding tour guide, and our visit to Fez was truly enhanced by his expertise and thoughtful approach. From the outset, he impressed us with his extensive knowledge and passion for the city’s history and culture. When he outlined the detailed itinerary for our four-hour tour, I expressed concerns about whether it might be too challenging for my 83-year-old mother, who has mobility issues. The itinerary included significant walking, particularly through the bustling Medina. However, Sharif immediately adapted to our needs with remarkable patience and understanding.

Throughout the tour, he was incredibly attentive to my mother, always ensuring she felt comfortable and supported. He found creative ways to navigate the sometimes-difficult terrain of the Medina, and his kindness and care did not go unnoticed. His background as a university-trained linguist shone through, making the experience enjoyable and accessible even for us, as English-only speakers. He communicated complex historical and cultural details with clarity, making the tour both educational and engaging.

The tour itself was exceptionally well-organized, taking us to a variety of fascinating sites while offering deep insights into the vibrant history and traditions of Fez. Sharif’s ability to balance an ambitious schedule with a personalized touch truly stood out. Thanks to him, we were able to complete the entire tour without feeling rushed or overwhelmed, despite the physical challenges.

I wholeheartedly recommend Sharif to anyone visiting Fez. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for his guests make him a truly exceptional guide. I am confident that you, too, will have an unforgettable experience in his capable hands.

Thanks so much to both of these men.

Hi Cristine,

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re really glad you had a great trip and enjoyed it all.

Ilyace will be pleased to know that he made your journey memorable, and we’re glad you loved Tiziri Camp and the food, it’s truly a special place.

It was wonderful having you with us, and we’d love to host you again someday. Take care and safe travels!

Warmly,
Hamza
