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. "

Every day he came to pick us up, he was punctual and friendly. When we needed more time to get ready, he was patient while also making sure we had enough time to enjoy our day full of activities.

Jamal was honestly one of the highlights of the trip! He went above and beyond by taking photos for us, making sure I had snacks and plenty of bathroom breaks (which I especially appreciated since I’m pregnant), sharing his knowledge of the different cities, and keeping us entertained during the long drives. We’ve been telling all are friends and family about his amazing hospitality!

He was receptive to our needs and questions about the area and was a great mediator for working out our needs and plans, like moving our camel ride to an earlier time in Agafay. Having a local guide made the trip much more memorable and fun! It is the best way to get introduced to all of the best spots in Morocco. It was my second time with Hamza and we would love to return and use him as our guide again. He is simply the best!!

Additionally, the accommodations selected by Kim Kim were perfectly located and appointed. I would also like to mention how much we enjoyed the help and kindess of Muhammed at Palais Sabban- he was the best at transporting our bags and answering to our needs while on the property. This riad is a crowning gem and we loved everything about it.

Our tour guide in Essaouria, Hussan, was an extrememly knowledgeable historian and we appreciated all of the details of the area's history and sights that he took time to share with us.

I wish I could remember the name of our camel guide, he was so much fun and was the best photographer!

Again, many thanks to Kim Kim and Said for putting together an amazing itinerary for us. Our local guide Hamza made the trip so memorable and fun, it would not have been the same experience without him. We look forward to returning to Morocco!

This was my second time staying at this riad and I loved it even more this time. It is in a perfect location, and a peaceful oasis from the hullabaloo of the city. It is so beautiful and each detail displays the depth of gorgeous Moroccan architecture and detail. We loved the peaceful rooftop with the pool and bar and many comfortable places to sit and relax. Muhammed was our baggage help/doorman, and he made the experience enjoyable for us with his attentiveness and kind conversations.

From start to finish, the experience was incredible. Hamza helped me put together a tour that included outdoor exploration, desert adventures, cityscapes, waterfalls, gorges and great food. Mustapha was our driver and he was prompt, prepared for our questions and knew exactly what routes and times for the next stops. We had amazing city guides who took us through the main sites and trusted shopping areas.

My only complaint is that the vacation had to end! If you are considering a vacation to Morocco, the services here planned for seamless travel. I highly recommend!

Beyond that, I was very pleased with all of the activities that KimKim arranged for us. Every excursion/activity met our expectations, and there was never a time where there was any confusion or issues when we arrived. It was clear that all of the necessary communication and planning was done in advance, which made it so much more enjoyable for us.

I would absolutely plan another trip with KimKim and fully endorse them for anyone who may be considering a trip of their own.

We came to kimkim to get the guessing work out of planning. Hamza was able to curate an intricate itinerary that fully incorporated the must-see places within our dates and budget perimeter, without feeling rushed. The process was efficient and seamless. Our driver, Soufian, did a remarkable job in keeping us on schedule and having all our needs met. Those long drives, in 12 Days, became a major highlight of our trip. The memories will be unforgettable. I will be back!

Took glamping to another level, with the backdrop of the Sahara! What an experience...had the most breathtaking sunset and sunrise during this stay. Evening drumming/dancing made the desert nights cinematic!

Guided tour became essential when we had limited time in Marrakech. Our guide took us thru the various sections of the medina, gave great recommendations to restaurants and shopping tips. The history lesson at the mosque was a highlight.

Best hike of my life! Having tea with a nomad in a cave, enjoying a meal in the home of Berber family (one of the best tajines in Morocco), hiking through the different terrain of the mountain, feeling the spirit of the mountain and the people....It touched my soul.

Valuable stop in Ait Benhaddou for its history and cinematic accreditation. Our driver Soufian made the 6hr drive as enjoyable as having coffee with an old friend!

THE best drive of my life. The landscape during this section of the drive is breathtaking. Our driver made a rest stop along the way for lunch, a worthwhile experience in and of itself.

Original Travels (Hamza and Said) made the booking of and in-country experience incredibly easy and enjoyable for our trip to Morocco. Everyone was so polite and cared for our comfort every step of the way. We had a few local guides throughout our 9 day trip that were very knowledgeable, polite, and showed us places we would not have found on our own. Our accomodations were excellent everywhere we went. But best of all was our driver Tayeb who immediately became part of our journey. He was certainly professional and made sure our transfers were comfortable and the experience we wanted, but he enriched the adventure with great conversations, sharing so much knowledge about Morocco both historical and present, and we left feeling like he was a close friend.we highly recommend asking for Tayeb if you travel to Morocco!!

Can't say enough good things about this beautiful riad and the incredible staff. Accomodations and people that you'll want to be surrounded by for days. A perfect Oasis amidst the bustling medina. Highly recommend.

Mohammed and his team were most welcoming and you felt at home with 5 star hospitality. The restaurant was lovely and the views not only from the hotel but within the surrounding neighborhood were stunning.
